Chapter 1455


    Lena giggled.


    It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.


    Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemnce to someone in the way her eyes


    looked, like a familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.


    Elijah said in a low voice, “Lena, I’ve resigned.”


    Lena nodded. “I just heard in the room. Are you really not nning to continue at the Thompson


    Group?”


    “I have my own things to do.”


    “Alright.” Lena shrugged.


    “You seem… not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?”


    “Why should I care?” Lena looked at him sideways. “As long as you don’t go against Lina, you can be


    anywhere. But if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I’ll bring you back from the ends of the earth.”


    Elijah was at a loss for words.


    Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family’spany and work with


    him. After all, he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be better to


    work with someone he knew well.


    It seemed there was no need to ask now.


    Lena would not go.


    In her heart, no one was as important as Lina.


    Despite that, Elijah was curious. It was previously said that Lena was the illegitimate child of the


    Thompsons. ording to that logic, her protectiveness of the Thompsons was understandable. Now


    that it was rified that Nichs had no illegitimate children, why was she still so loyal?


    And why did his Chriss family not have someone so loyal?


    “Daddy, look!” Just as he was thinking, he heard N’s sweet voice. “It seems like the little baby woke


    up!”


    Elijah paused.


    She did!


    Persephone stretched out her little hands and kicked her tiny feet, making cooing sounds.


    The nanny and maternity nurse hurriedly checked if she had wet her diaper.


    N asked curiously while holding Elijah’s hand, “Dad, was I like that when I was little?”


    Elijah could not answer. He had not been involved in his daughter’s growth.


    Lena looked at him with disdain, took N’s hand, and softly replied, “Every baby is like this when they


    are little. Look, doesn’t the little baby look like a little angel?”


    “Yes!” N held Elijah with one hand and Lena with the other, shing them a sweet smile.


    Chris happened to see the scene.


    He was somewhat dazed, standing at the end of the corridor. Elijah, Lena, and N were holding


    hands —like a family. What was even stranger was that the expressions on the three of them and even


    the curves of their smiles seemed to look alike…


    Chris’ face fell.


    Elijah clearly had a wife! Why was he getting so close to Lena?


    He felt ufortable like there were knots tied on a string, and jealousy was fermenting in his heart.


    He cleared his throat and walked over, deliberately standing next to Lena.


    N saw his scowl and timidly let go of Lena’s hand. Chris was inwardly impressed by N’s keen


    eye. He took Lena’s hand and held it tightly, intertwining their fingers.


    “Nice to meet you, Mr. Chriss.” He introduced himself politely, “I’m Chris Hamerton. We’ve probably met


    before.”


    Elijah smiled politely. The special forces member from the Hamertons and the only one who dared to


    change his name on his own ord… Who would not recognize him?


    “Mr. Hamerton, a pleasure to meet you.”


    “I heard that you’ve resigned?” Chris smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. “In that case,


    I’d like to wish you a prosperous and sessful future!”


    “Thank you.”


    “But a word of advice.” Chris looked at N and smirked. “With such a lovely daughter, perhaps you


    should prioritize your family! After all, Mrs. Chriss is quite wonderful. You are a perfect match to others!”


    “Uh…” Elijah’s expression changed slightly. “You do no need to worry about it, Mr. Hamerton.”


    “Haha, of course, I’m not worried about you!” Chris said as he put his arm around Lena’s shoulder.


    Lena was momentarily stunned before meeting his indulgent gaze.


    “I’m worried about our Lenny!” Chris emphasized thest part. “Our Lenny is so outstanding that I have


    to be on guard against those showing interest in her! Haha…”


    Lena nudged him with her elbow and red at him.


    Elijah could clearly hear who Chris was talking about. Although he felt differently toward Lena, he


    would never pursue someone else while still having a family.


    Even if he wanted to pursue Lena, he would have to divorce Kasey first… Previously, women like


    Jacquelin had been imposed on him by others.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated

    Elijah smiled helplessly and excused himself, saying he hadpany matters to hand over before


    quickly leaving with N.


    Lena turned to Chris. “What’s the matter with you today?”


    “Ah? I…”


    “You’ve never spoken like that before.”


    Chris scratched his head, not sure how to respond.


    He was clearly feeling jealous. He did not like seeing her getting close to Elijah or the way other men


    looked at her with glowing eyes…


    It was just that saying these things would make him seem too petty, right?


    Chris smiled awkwardly. He took her hand and tried to make amends. “Lenny, from now on, I won’t…”


    Lena pulled her hand away.


    At that moment, Chris felt like his heart had fallen to the bottom of a valley.


    In the next second, Lena put her hands on his shoulders, tiptoed, and gently kissed his lips.


    Chris was stunned and delirious, and his mind went nk.


    What was… going on?


    She had taken the initiative to kiss him!


    His dumbfounded look amused Lena, and she looked away, blushing.


    “Lenny, you…”


    “Good enough?”


    “Huh?” Chris failed to follow. What did that mean?


    Did it mean that she knew he was jealous and was physically showing him she would not have a


    change of mind?


    Chris’ heart pounded. He chuckled foolishly and suddenly picked Lena up.


    “What are you doing?” Lena punched him without heat. “Put me down!”


    “No!”


    “Chris—”


    Before she could finish, he silenced her with a deeper kiss.


    That day, Lena learned an important lesson: never surprise a man! Especially someone like Chris, who


    radiated happiness and returned a kiss with a hundred times more affection.


    Chris said tenderly in her ear, “Lenny,e home with me.”


    Lena nodded dazedly.


    “You didn’t understand what I said.” He chuckled softly. “I don’t mean going back to the apartment.”


    “What?”


    He looked into her eyes seriously. “Lenny, what I mean is,e with me to meet my parents, and


    then… let’s get married! Okay?”
