Chapter 533


    When Benjamin arrived at the departure gate, he suddenly turned around and looked at me, as if he


    was waiting for my reply.


    I nodded and gave him my brightest smile. “I am very happy now.”


    Benjamin froze for a second before replying with a smile. Finally, he disappeared into the crowd after


    passing through the departure gate.


    I lingered at the spot for a while more, trying to catch a final glimpse of the man. Noticing that I wasn’t


    leaving, Christopher tugged at my hand and pulled me toward the exit. “What are you looking at? He’s


    just a fool who does whatever he likes and is now leaving the country after all is lost. How close are the


    two of you anyway?”


    “Why are you acting so harsh today?” I sighed.

    “Hmph! So what if he’s your first love? Is he sure if his first love is you or Crystal?” Christopher was


    unrelenting. “If that Wilson guy did really humiliate you then, I would have killed him and Benjamin as


    well.”


    “Who knows, maybe you’ve already dealt with that Wilson guy using your own ways.” I was aware that


    ever since then, that man’s family had been having financial difficulties and not long after, they left


    Avenport altogether. “Let’s hurry. I still have to take Mom to the restaurant. Isn’t that more important?


    Let’s not talk about such misceneous stuff now.”


    “Yup, these are just misceneous stuff!” Christopher smiled when he heard that. I wasn’t sure what


    else he had in mind, but I noticed that he was grinning wildly.


    I had a really bad feeling as I looked at his expression. Whenever he had that look on his face, it would


    be because he had done something bad. I could not help but ask, “Is there something I should know?”


    “Oh, nothing much. I just swapped the gift you prepared for Benjamin.”


    “What did you swap it with?”


    “A note, warning him not to have any funny ideas on my wife, and that he should know his ce.”


    “You’re kidding me!” I gaped in disbelief. Just as I turned around, I saw a ne ascending into the air


    and disappearing into the clouds.


    What else could I say? Like a grown kid, Christopher behaved willfully sometimes, doing anything he


    could to make sure I was happy. He would also not hesitate to deal with anyone who took advantage of


    me. I had to admit that he could appear to be a little petty at times, but I still could not help feeling


    blissful.


    At five o’clock in the afternoon, I stood outside the hotel’s entrance while ncing at my watch from


    time to time. Finally, I spotted Nathan’s car stopping in front of the entrance. Immediately, I went up and


    called out excitedly, “Mom?”


    Isabelle got out of the car, followed by Nathan. However, he was looking rather awkward. Not letting it


    bother me, I greeted him cidly, “Hi, Dad!”


    Nathan briefly acknowledged my greeting without saying much. He looked a little older than thest


    time I saw him. I knew that what Crystal had done had caused a huge blow to the Tanners. Otherwise,


    my dad would not have to do so much. Recently, it seemed like the Tanner family had gotten into some


    trouble again, but I was not very sure. It was possible that Mom was involved in it as well, but I had


    absolutely no intention of interfering.


    I should leave it to my parents to settle the issues between them themselves.


    “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Goldstein. My dad is already waiting upstairs. Please follow us,” Christopher


    greeted my mom respectfully as he held my head and gestured with his other hand.


    “I’ll just call you Chris if that’s all right. You look like a fine young man!” Isabelleplimented.


    That was the best five-star hotel in Avenport and the interior of the hotel wasvishly renovated. We


    headed toward the private room which we have reserved in advance. When Julia saw us entering the


    room, she stood up with Gordon and said enthusiastically, “You must be Yvonne’s parents. Since it’s


    our first meeting, let’s—”


    “Isabelle?” Before the woman could finish her sentence, her expression changed drastically after


    scrutinizing my mom. With a change in the tone of her voice, she said, “It’s you? You’re Yvonne’s


    mother?”


    “Julia! You’re Chris’ mother! How is this even possible?”


    Isabelle’s expression darkened as well, the smile on her facepletely gone. Suddenly, she pulled


    me away from Christopher and raised her voice as she yelled in agitation, “Eve, I won’t allow you to be


    with Christopher. This woman is the one who caused your Uncle Robert’s death. She’s our enemy. You


    can’t be with our enemy’s son.”
