Lena smiled, then turned and walked away. -
In the next few days, she packed not only her own bags but also Chris'. She couldn't resist his persistent request to
join her on the trip.
Chris was excited but ensured not to show it too much.
'This trip means a lot. Alone with Lena, who knows what might happen?' he thought and smiled.
In Zuko's words, he went from being slow-witted to suddenly brilliant!
Chris whistled and arrived at Lena's apartment early in the morning. He diligently cleaned everything inside and
out.
It was a weekend, and they didn't have much luggage. After packing, they went to say goodbye to Zuko and Lina. -
They heard a familiar voice when they entered Zuko's home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChris was momentarily stunned when he saw Fleur holding little Persephone and laughing uncontrollably.
"Ah, you two are here? Come see her, she's so adorable... Cute!"
Lina invited them to sit with a smile. "Aunt Fleur, you're too kind. You gave a big gift when Sephy was born, and now
you're giving another one!"
"How can they be the same? A birth gift is a birth gift, and today is today!" Fleur chuckled. "As long as our little
princess likes it, I'll bring a gift every day!"
Chris glanced at the gift—a beautiful cat's-eye stone of superior quality in both size and texture.
Ever since Persephone was born, it seemed like everyone in the Hamertons had telepathy. No matter who, no
matter what precious item they obtained, it would find its way to her.
Fleur's approach was slightly different from others. After giving her gifts, she would reprimand Chris.
"Look at Zuko with his little princess! And look at you, an unworthy brat who hasn't even given me a grandson yet!"
Chris sometimes dreaded his mother's constant nagging, so he tried to delay going home as much as possible. He
hadn't expected to bump into her there.
"Chris, you—"
Fleur was about to speak, but Chris interrupted her and changed the subject. "Mom, Zuko and I have something to
discuss. You can chat with them first!" "Come here!"
Fleur handed the child to the nanny and looked at Chris sharply.
Lina signaled to Lena with her eyes, and the latter was startled. Only then did she notice an unfamiliar face
standing not far away.
"Do you still recognize Bianca?" Fleur smiled and waved, inviting the girl over.
Lena quietly assessed her. The girl had fair skin, striking features, and expressive eyes. She was also elegantly
dressed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca Mosley's gaze lingered on Chris' face before she smiled slightly.
Lena felt uncomfortable and subconsciously gripped the hem of her shirt, biting her lip.
"Chris!" Bianca's voice was sweet as she walked directly to Chris. "It's been a few years, and you really don't
recognize me anymore?"
"Bianca?" Chris was surprised. "Didn't you go abroad?"
"I'm back now!"
Bianca smiled, then sat down beside Fleur. The two of them chatted and laughed, looking close like a mother and
daughter.
Lina tugged on Lena's sleeve, leading her to a room, and closed the door.
"That's Bianca Mosley, Chris' childhood friend. Zuko knows her, too. They used to meet when they were kids. I
heard... there's some connection between Bianca's family and the Warnocks, which is why Aunt Fleur likes her so
much," Lina explained softly.
