Chapter 300
Christopher lowered his eyelids and looked at her nkly. A touch of impatience shed through his
eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
His thin lips moved, and his voice was cold, “Do you want to leave?”
Annabelle frowned and stared at his face for a while, trying to see some clues from his expression.
If it weren’t for her disbelief in ghosts and gods, for a moment, she would have almost doubted that
someone else was in the body of the man in front of her.
She calmed down and let go of Christopher’s hand, but her eyes didn’t move from his face. She tried to
ask, “Did you say that on purpose?”
Christopher looked in another direction, but there was still no expression on his face. He didn’t answer
her question.
Although he didn’t answer, Annabelle already had an answer in her mind.
Ever since he married Yuliana, he had been trying to avoid Annabelle. If there was nothing else
important, Christopher would hardly contact Annabelle.
Hence, there was no way he would say those words in front of Yuliana.
Christopher still didn’t answer Annabelle. After a moment of silence, he strode in the direction of the
parking lot.
Annabelle stood there for a while before she hurriedly followed him.
After getting in the car, Annabelle fastened her seat belt. She nced at the expression on
Christopher’s face again and pondered for a few seconds before she gloated. She tried to ask, “Did
you quarrel with Yuliana?”
Christopher started the car and ignored her.
Annabelle was a little angry earlier when Christopher used her. However, considering the reason
behind it, she stopped being angry and was even a little happy.
She didn’t mind if Christopher was ignoring her. While answering the message with her phone, she said
to Christopher cheerfully, “I thought you two had a good rtionship. It turned out that you two would
still quarrel. Tell me. What’s going on?”
After replying to the message on her phone, Annabelle looked at Christopher curiously.
Christopher side-eyed her and said sarcastically, “Annabelle, I didn’t know were so gossipy.”
you
Annabelle raised her eyebrows and propped her hand against her cheeks while
looking ahead. She sighed. “I wasn’t very gossipy originally. But considering our rtionship, I’m just
caring about you.”
Christopher sneered, apparently not believing what Annabelle had just said.
Seeing that Christopher was still not going to talk to her, Annabelle didn’t continue this question.
After two minutes of silence, she turned around and stared at Christopher for a while.
It wasn’t her illusion. Christopher was indeed different from before.
In the past, Christopher’s emotions were easy to sense. Yet, now he was like a deep well that one
couldn’t see the bottom of it. She couldn’t figure out what he was thinking at all.
But she could understand it somehow.
So many things had happened in the Sce family recently. There were things happening to Zachary,
Winnie, and Kendrick simultaneously. Annabelle could also guess Sce Corporation’s situation. She
was afraid that Christopher’s two uncles were not easy to deal with. It was not that easy for Christopher
to be in his position as well.
Besides, there were many unpleasant rumors circting outside. It was said that Kendrick’s ident
was schemed by Christopher just topete for the family business.
One would surely grow up in the face of major changes, and Christopher was no exception.

After passing the intersection ahead, Annabelle was suddenly stunned, and she said abruptly, “Stop
the car.”
Christopher nced at her and followed her gaze. Then, he saw a young man in a white T-shirt and
sweatpants standing on the roadside, with a waist bag on his body and a phone in his hand. He
seemed to be sending a message with the phone in his hand.
Then Annabelle’s phone rang. She took out her phone and nced at it with a mischievous smile.
She didn’t reply after reading the message. She seemed to have noticed something and looked up at
Christopher.
Looking into Christopher’s eyes, she pursed her lower lips and didn’t think of exining the situation at
all. She merely said, “Anyway, you’re just using me. I don’t need you to send me back home. Just stop
here.”
Christopher stopped the car on the side of the road and stared at the young man again before asking,
“Who is he?”
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Annabelle unfastened her seat belt and didn’t n to answer
Christopher’s question. But when she thought of something else, she frowned and said, “If anything
happens to Aunt Winnie, please let me know.”
She had two mothers. One was her biological mother, and one was her stepmother. However, she
didn’t get maternal love from both mothers. Instead, she got resentment. But Winnie, who had nothing
to do with Annabelle originally, made thetter feel that kind of mother’s love.
Winnie was kind to Annabelle at first just because thetter was the daughter of Christopher’s savior.
Also, Winnie was only feeling pity for Annabelle because of what happened to thetter. But even so,
Annabelle still appreciated Winnie.
Christopher responded faintly, “Okay.”
Annabelle said nothing else. She pushed open the door and got out of the car, then went straight to the
young man. Seeing her appear suddenly, the young man showed a smile of joy on his face.
Christopher watched for two seconds and drove away.
Annabelle didn’t expect to meet Jeremy Yates here coincidentally.
“Why are you here?” Jeremy was obviously more surprised than Annabelle. After asking, he
subconsciously nced at the car that she got off from. It was a gray sports car, which he knew cost at
least seven digits.
Also, from the window, he could also see the blurred figure in the car. Obviously, it was a man.
Annabelle said, “There is an elder in the hospital. I’m here to visit them.”
Jeremy immediately asked with concern, “What’s the problem? Is it serious?”
are
Annabelle looked at the nervous expression on his face and didn’t answer his question. She asked,
“What about you? Why you here? Didn’t you start school already? Don’t you have sses today?”
Jeremy was in his third year of university. He had just been 20 years old for a few
months.
Some time ago, she went back to her alma mater and asked her teacher to deal with something, and
that was when she met Jeremy. Jeremy was also that teacher’s student, so he could be considered her
junior in the same ss.
At that time, Annabelle made an appointment with the teacher. But when she arrived at the school, the
teacher had already left the school as the teacher had something else to deal with. She only handed
over the things the teacher needed to Jeremy before leaving and asked Jeremy to hand them over to
the teacher.
When Annabelle saw Jeremy for the first time, Annabelle felt he was quite good-looking and teased
him, as she had nothing else to do. She didn’t expect
there would be such a pure and innocent man nowadays. His face turned red after a few words she
said to tease him, which made her a little embarrassed.
That day, Jeremy took her to have a meal outside her alma mater. After that, they added each other on
WhatsApp.
Although Annabelle liked to y around, she also knew how to maintain
boundaries. She knew Jeremy was different from many men, so she didn’t n to mess with him too
much. She didn’t talk to Jeremy after adding him on WhatsApp.
However, Jeremy sent a message to her asking about some professional knowledge in their major. It
was impossible for Annabelle not to see through the young man’s intention.
Maybe she was too bored, or maybe she wanted to leap out of her old life circle and start a new life.
She even chatted with Jeremy asionally, and this feeling seemed to be not too bad.
A man in his twenties, who hadn’t entered society yet, had a very simple mind. When he liked someone
very much, he was full of enthusiasm and
wholeheartedness, with no utilitarian benefits.
