Chapter 692

Author: Goldfish
Had Lucia known who Amelia was, she would never have treated Amelia the way she did.

She was trying her best right now to see if reconciliation between Christopher and Amelia was possible.

Dorothy looked at Lucia and asked, "Are you eyeing her or her status? It's not a good habit to fawn over the powerful and bully the weak."

Dorothy didn't bother preserving Lucia's pride and dignity.

Lucia pursed her lips, looking slightly embarrassed. "I was just worried about their relationship."

I know she doesn’t owe anyone any explanations, but I can’t help but wonder why she doesn’t say that she’d already turned Jayden down. She could have even used the same sentence for both Chris and Gerald … “I already told him ’no’.”

  • Reborn Without You   Chapter 1018

    "I...can't rule it out."Amelia's voice trembled, and her fingers tightened around the paper until her knuckles went white.The doctor saw the panic on her face and softened her tone. "It's all right. Try not to worry yet. If we need to do a CT scan later, we have to rule out pregnancy first. Go get a blood draw for an HCG test. Once the results come back, we'll know for sure."Amelia took the lab order from the doctor and walked out of the exam room on unsteady legs.The hallway lights felt too bright. She stood there for a long moment, unable to pull herself together."What happened? Did you get the results?"Jasper hurried over. The moment he saw her pale face and unfocused eyes, his chest tightened. He reached out and gently steadied her by the arm."Are you feeling worse?"Amelia looked up at the worry in his eyes, and the panic she had been holding back rose through her like a tide.She drew in a breath and tried to steady herself, but her voice still shook. "Jasper, t

    Amelia nodded. She was about to get out when she spotted two familiar figures not far away.Christopher was carefully supporting Samantha as they walked down the hospital corridor together. Samantha's lower belly had begun to show, and pregnancy had softened her expression. Side by side, the two of them looked almost painfully intimate.Samantha noticed Amelia first. She immediately tugged Christopher to a stop, her voice carrying a deliberate note of concern. "Ms. Sinclair? What brings you to the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"Her gaze flicked between Amelia and Jasper, sharp with curiosity she didn't bother hiding well.Amelia's fingers tightened slightly. Her voice stayed calm. "It's nothing serious. Just a routine checkup."Christopher's eyes settled on her face, dark and unreadable, like a black sea with something heavy moving beneath the surface. He said nothing. He only watched her in silence, as if trying to find an answer there.Jasper glanced at the time on

    Since Jasper brought it up first, it saved Amelia from having to stumble through the offer herself."I was going to ask you to stay here," she said, a little embarrassed, "but I didn't want you to feel awkward."Her voice softened. "Honestly, I'd feel better if you stayed. Home is more comfortable than a hotel, and it'll be easier to get to the hospital tomorrow."Jasper smiled. "Normally, I'd say it might not be proper. But it's us. We don't need to stand on ceremony."Amelia smiled back and got to her feet. "I'll make up the bed for you. There are fresh sheets and blankets in the guest room closet.""No, I've got it." Jasper caught her gently by the wrist and shook his head. "You're not feeling well. Go rest. I'll take care of the rest."His palm was warm and dry against her skin. Amelia froze for half a second, then quickly pulled her hand back and nodded."Then call me if you need anything."Jasper watched her disappear into the master bedroom before turning toward the gu

    When the car pulled into Amelia’s apartment complex, Jasper parked first, then got out and walked around to the passenger side to open her door.The moment he touched her cool fingers, his worry deepened.She had said her stomach felt off back at the restaurant. On the drive home, she had leaned against the seat with her eyes closed the whole way. Her face looked even paler than when they had left."Still feeling sick?" Jasper held her arm, concern filling his voice. "Don’t tough it out if you feel bad. We can still go to the hospital."Amelia shook her head and leaned slightly against his arm, her steps unsteady. Her voice carried a tired edge."I’m fine. I’ve just been packing and handling the project handoff lately. I’m probably worn out. I’ll feel better after some rest."Jasper half supported her as they walked into the building. In the elevator, the light caught the pale color of her lips, and the unease in him refused to settle.He knew how much Amelia used to love that r

    Samantha bit her lip and said softly, "Chris, forget it. Let's not argue with him. I'll manage."She knew Jasper's background, and she knew pushing back wouldn't end well for her. For now, she could only back down.Christopher looked at the server. "Leave the dish. Bring Ms. Bloom some lemon water."The server quickly nodded and stepped out.The private dining room fell quiet again, but the silence had turned awkward.Amelia picked up her fork, took a piece of rib, and tasted it. The familiar flavor spread over her tongue, but it no longer stirred much in her heart.After what had just happened, she understood even more clearly that whatever had existed between her and Christopher was truly over.Jasper watched her eat in silence, then picked up his own fork and placed another piece on her plate. "Take your time. No rush."The farewell dinner ended in silence and discomfort.When they left the restaurant, Jasper naturally took Amelia's hand. He gave Christopher and Samantha a

    Christopher immediately set down his fork and reached over to rub Samantha's back. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?""The ribs smell way too strong. I think I'm going to be sick."Samantha's voice took on a wounded edge as she glanced around the table, her displeasure barely concealed. "Who ordered that? Doesn't everyone know I'm pregnant? I can't handle the smell of meat right now."She had grown up spoiled, used to everyone around her making adjustments for her comfort. Now, with Amelia and Jasper sitting right there, she didn't even bother hiding the entitled streak in her temper.Christopher frowned and looked up at the server. "Take that away.""Wait."Jasper spoke before anyone else could. His tone stayed calm, but there was a firmness in it no one could miss. "Amelia likes that dish. Ms. Bloom, if the smell bothers you, you're welcome to sit farther away. There's no need to make the whole table adjust to one person's preferences."The hurt look on Samantha's face

    Christopher's voice was too calm and mild, as though he didn't quite regard this entire matter as important.Panic rose in Nicole's throat, but she didn't know where it came from.Christopher told her to plead with Amelia so easily.However, that seemed like the only way right now.They couldn't
