when she left he went crazy (Hope and Christopher)

CHAPTER 22

hen she left. He went crazy

Chapter 22 I Said No, and Would You Believe It?

“If it was some time ago, Evelyn’s words would surely affect my mood.

At that time, I had come to accept facts like Christopher has never had any feelings for me, and I no longer had the interest to question her further.

I looked at her calmly. Since you are so confident, why do you come to my office every day and act like a lunatic?”

Evelyn was so angry that she was going crazy.

She came to my office early in the morning, questioning me like a wife confronting the other woman.

Seeing that I was unaffected, Evelyn became anxious.

Without waiting for me to ask, she triumphantly said, “It’s because of me.”

With her hands on my desk, she leaned slightly forward, looking at me like a loser. “Hope, if it weren’t for me, he would never have married you! You won’t even know where the Valence Manor’s gates are now!**

Hearing this, I clenched my fists suddenly. An indescribable feeling spread through my heart, causing a dull ache.

Evelyn smiled satisfactorily, crossing her arms. It was his grandfather who threatened him with me. If he didn’t marry you, his grandfather would use his influence to drive me out of the country.“”

Even though I already knew Christopher didn’t love me, hearing this now made me very sad.

“Did he even marry me out of necessity because of Evelyn?”

I felt somewhat desperate. Then, I suppressed my emotions and looked at Evelyn mockingly. “Is that so? It seems you should thank me for being willing to marry Christopher. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk to me

now.“”

Otherwise, Evelyn would have been kicked out of the country long ago!

She looked embarrassed, then suddenly became angry. Gritted teeth, she said, “Why are you so good at sophistry”

“Pay attention to your attitude.”

I frowned disapprovingly, pushing my hair behind my ear. You don t thank me, yet you’re so harsh towards me. It makes you seem very ungrateful.”

“‘Hope!**

Evelyn looked like she wanted to glare me to death. I waited for a while, but she said nothing more.

Perplexed, I looked up and realized she was staring fixedly at my ear, her breathing quickened, hands clenched into fists. “So it was you who took those earrings!“*

I Interrupted, saying deliberately. “He insisted on giving them to me.

Indeed, Evelyn became even angrier. She said sharply, “That’s impossible! Besides, you two are getting divorced. How could you accept such a valuable gift?**

“You know we’re just about to get divorced, not yet divorced. What’s wrong with me accepting a gift from my husband?

“Hope, you are shameless. Those are mine. He bought them for me!“”

“Then go ask him for them.”

I didn’t want to be entangled with Evelyn anymore, so I stood up to go to the restroom.

Pregnancy symptoms, including morning sickness, fatigue, and frequent urination, I had them.

Suddenly, Evelyn rushed up to me, grabbing my arm with one hand and reaching for my car with the other. “This is mine. Give it back to me!”

I didn’t expect her to act so crazy. Unprepared, my ear was pulled painfully by her. I didn’t dare to confront her now, so I said, ““Let go. I’ll take it off for you.”

But this was something worth over four million dollars. How could I give it to Evelyn like that?

In the split second, when Evelyn loosened her grip, I pushed her away forcefully. She seemed surprised that I would deceive her. She sat on the ground with a thud, exclaiming in shock.

I didn’t have time to dwell on it. I was afraid Evelyn would continue to harass me and harm the baby, so I turned and

ran.

However, I saw the door being pushed open quickly. The next moment, I met a pair of deep blue eyes fi

Evelyn, unlike her usual combative self, chaotically sat behind me, crying sadly. “Chris, it hurts so much.” Her voice had softened, making me almost doubt if she was the one who had just vicibusly pulled my ear.

Christopher was cold and calm, striding over me and directly picking up Evelyn. “Where are you hurt?“”

“My waist hurts a lot.”

Nestled in Christopher’s arms, Evelyn cried, “I just asked her about her work progress, but she pushed me. Chris, cant you make her the director? Everyone else supports her. I really don’t want to work in this environment anymore.“”

I couldn’t help but frown. I admired Evelyn’s ability to fabricate stories. I almost burst out laughing from anger, but Christopher’s scrutinizing gaze met me. “Is that true?“”

His voice was as cold as ice, sending chills down my spine.

I asked self–deprecatingly, “If I say it’s not true, would you believe me?**

“Chris.“”

Evelyn’s eyes were teary. Her delicate fingers tugged at Christopher’s collar. I designed and tailored this suit.

It was a gift I gave him on Valentine’s Day this year.

Christopher didn’t answer me; he just looked down at Evelyn in his arms. He frowned, seeming impatient yet concerned. “You’re not a child. How can you cry so much from a fall? I’ll take you to the hospital.

Then, he left quickly, as if afraid that something might happen to the woman he cherished, leaving behind a cold

silhouette.

I took a deep breath, trying to widen my eyes and hold back the tears.

Hope, what are you disappointed about? He’s your ex–husband now.”

As soon as they were out of sight, Connie rushed in anxiously. “Hope, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” I forced a smile. Christopher couldn’t treat me in any way.

Otherwise, he needed help explaining to Bentley.

Connie pursed her lips in the direction they left. “Mr. Valence just carried Ms. Valence out like that. Everyone is guessing what their relationship is. Is she really his wife?“”

Thinking about this, she looked at me helplessly, worried, “If that’s the case, what should we do? You and her don’t get along. She will definitely bully you!“*

My heart ached, almost numb.

I had been married to Christopher for three years. Except for Elissa and Donald, no one in the company knew about

our relationship.

Now, we hadn’t even divorced yet, and he didn’t hide his relationship with Evelyn at all.

Then why did he hold me last night and say he never thought it would come to this? He’s so hypocritical.”

Then take me with you, okay? Wherever you go, I’ll go!”

“Okay.”

Seeing Connie’s eager look, I smiled.

Evelyn held the title of director but didn’t do much, so I took on most of the director and vice– director’s work.

At noon, I was too busy to go downstairs for lunch.

Connie brought me a roast beef meal. When she opened it, a wave of nausea surged from my stomach uncontrollably.

Chapter 22 I Sald No, and Would You Belleve It?

“Hope, don’t you want to cat this? I’ll go buy you something else.” She said.

“No need. I’ll eat this.” I suppressed the feeling of nausea and forced myself to eat.

I guessed it was aggravated morning sickness.

What I wented to eat wasn’t available near the company,

so there was no need to bother.

Unexpectedly, midway through the meal, I found myself rushing to the trash can to vomit. With tears and mucus streaming down my face, I must have appeared quite disheveled

Luckily, I kept my voice low so no one would have heard.

In the evening, just before leaving work, Elissa knocked on the door and entered. “I forgot to tell you yesterday a car dealership called me. Your car is fixed. I’ll accompany you to pick it up.”

It didn’t even bother me to lift my head. “Okay, wait a moment. I’ll finish up this work first.“”

““You’re really busy.” Elissa chuckled, sat down on the chair in front of my desk, and started playing with her phone. absentmindedly.

After a while, she suddenly stood up, exclaiming, “Why is your car bleeding?”
