Chapter 379


    I left in a hurry, and Christopher did note 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 aplishment 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 veryfortable 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 shed 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’te 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 ckmail. 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 evene to where it is today?”


    My heart throbbed. So that was the reason why Julia was not willing to acknowledge my rtionship


    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’tply.
