Chapter 314
Christopher sat in the garden as he stared at the sunset. He was painted orange by the color of the sky
which made him seem even sadder and lonely. His hot tea had gone cold. Yet, it did not stop him from
taking a sip.
His left hand curled into a ball as he clenched it so tightly his entire arm was trembling. It was as if he
was suppressing something. A sense of emotion shed past his eyes before it quickly disappeared
into his dark eyes.
Monica had been standing behind him for a long time now. Atst, she decided to approach him as she
poured the tea in Christopher onto the grass and handed him a new cup of hot tea. “Don’t drink cold
tea, it might affect your recovery.”
Christopher tilted his head and eyed Monica coldly. “I told you, don’t disturb me when I’m in the
garden,” he said.
Monica frowned at Christopher’s words. He hasn’t been the nicest to me. Yet, he has never spoken to
me in this way. I wonder what made him change? I don’t feel any sense of regret doing what I did in the
past. I know I’ll find a way to break through the current situation as long as he’s by my side.
“Don’t be upset, okay? I’m merely worried about you,” Monica whispered as she tugged his sleeve.
However, Christopher did not say a word but stared at her with coldness and sarcasm in his eyes. It
was as if he was staring at a joke.
Monica staggered backward when her eyes met his. She felt so naked as Christopher’s piercing gaze
seemed like it could look into her heart and thoughts.
Monica gritted her teeth as she stepped forward. She squatted down in front of Christopher and held
his hand. “Chris, you know how I feel about you all this while. I don’t know if I could do what Ms. Tanner
did for you, but I know I’d do the same for you in that situation. You’re my number one priority.”
“Stop torturing yourself like this, Chris. How I wish you’d be the old Christopher that I’m familiar
with. Stop this, okay? Your parents are worried sick. Why don’t we try things out? Let go of the past
and start anew with me. I’ll try my best to make you happy. All I need is one chance.”
“Just because you love me, so you did all that?”
Christopher sneered, he knew what kind of person Monica was since young. She may seem kind and
gentle, yet it couldn’t mask her cold and selfishness on the inside. She desired to obtain a good
reputation and recognition as a pianist. Thus, she framed someone else in a blink of an eye. She made
herself seem like a goddess which every girl longs to be. Yet, Christopher saw through her tricks.
Monica didn’t understand what he meant. So, she quickly nodded her head. “Of course, I love you
more than anything and I would do anything for you. So please, Christopher, just give me a chance.
Give us a chance, perhaps things would be different as long as you try.”
“But my heart belongs to someone else, Monica. You know that,” Christopher said. He didn’t mean to
hurt her. She was like a little sister to him. However, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart
as he spat such harsh words at her.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
“That’s okay. Nothing matters more than my love for you, Chris. I’ll try my best to make you fall in love
with me.” Monica was in tears. Her heart was shattered into pieces when Christopher said those words.
“Hmph, but I don’t want to try!” Christopher shouted. “Do I look like a fool to you? Is that why you’re all
putting on a show just to make a fool out of me?” He pointed at himself.
“Chris, what are you talking about?” Monica was stunned. She had a feeling Christopher knew
something.
He opened his clenched fists and revealed a dazzlingdy’s ring. Christopher continued, “This is the
wedding ring I got for Yvonne and I found in the ward next to mine. Every one of you imed that she
had a sea burial. Then, tell me, why would her ring appear in my ward?”
