I left in a hurry, and Christopher did not come after me; he was still sitting in the car. I wasn’t sure what they were talking about in the car, but the two were not in a good mood, and I could vaguely hear them arguing. I didn’t know why, but I had the feeling that Christopher had found out about my family affairs once again, and he came to meet up with Mitchell because of me.
“Gosh. How could this man know everything? How could he be so omnipresent as though I am a pet that only needed to have fun and eat well? I won’t have a sense of accomplishment this way,” I muttered. However, I couldn’t hide the smile on my face.
I didn’t walk too far away because I was curious to know what Christopher would say to Mitchell to solve this mess. So I snuck back quietly and hid behind a tree with some leaves on my head, pretending to be a tree, and started eavesdropping.
I have been very comfortable with eavesdropping recently. I didn’t feel any pressure at all. I must have had the potential to be a paparazzo and the most outstanding one too.
“Mitchell, we should continue our topic at hand. I suggest you take the matter into serious consideration. After all, doing this would not hurt the harmony between our two families, but it will also bring great fortune to the Martin family. What do you think?” A soft expression flashed across Christopher’s face.
I assumed he was happy to see that I actually have the guts to confront Monica.
He has always wanted me to stand up against those who insulted me.
“Chris, do you really want to go against the Martin family for a lowly divorcee? We’re both men. I don’t care about you being a womanizer, and I don’t mind you being with several women before getting married. However, you can only marry Monica. What’s so bad about Monica? Why do you treat her this way?” Mitchell spoke with a cold face. The admiration he had for Christopher earlier had turned into anger.
I was a little sad when I heard that. I was just a divorced woman, but any man could insult me as they wish. Unfortunately, this was the world we lived in. Even in the era which preached gender equality, everyone would have the same view on a divorced woman.
“Mitchell, I’m fully aware of the qualities I’m looking for in my wife. I hope words such as a lowly divorcee won’t come out of your mouth the next time.” Christopher’s tone became especially cold.
“As for Monica, there is nothing bad with her, but I only see her as my sister. Why do you want to marry your daughter to a man who doesn’t love her? Do you think you’re doing her a favor?” Christopher didn’t back down. He would never let anyone stop him from marrying me.
“Don’t forget, the Lane family owes the Martin family a life. I didn’t mention it for so many years only because I didn’t want to be guilty of blackmail. But I’ll have you know that I would do anything for my daughter.”
Mitchell had a dark expression. His mind was in a state of chaos. “If Alyssa hadn’t sacrificed herself, could the Lane family even come to where it is today?”
My heart throbbed. So that was the reason why Julia was not willing to acknowledge my relationship with Christopher. Now, Christopher is facing the same problem, and I want to know what he will say.
It was a difficult situation for Christopher. It would be ungrateful for him not to agree. At the same time, he couldn’t comply.
