when she left he went crazy (Hope and Christopher)

Chapter 44 Christopher Came for You

Elissa endured and endured, finally unable to resist grabbing the phone from my hand. Being sick did not weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Evelyn, can you please take a mirror and look at yourself? The word 'mistress' on your face is so obvious, can't you see it?"

"And Christopher, what the hell are you...

I shuddered at the sound, and without waiting for the other side to speak, I lunged forward and hung up the phone! Elissa was still not done cursing and fuming, "Why did you hang up? I was about to curse them to death!"

"You calm down." I felt oppressed, but at that moment, I calmed down. I poured Elissa a glass of water and said, "Actually, it's good if Christopher listened to her. He divorced me, and everyone was relieved." Given the current situation between me and Christopher, it was best for us to let each other go.

"Are you willing?" Elissa took a big sip of water, getting angrier as she drank. "I support your divorce, but I don't support you being so spineless about it. How dare a mistress treat you like this; who does she think she is!"

"Yes." I leaned against the edge of the couch, placing my hand on my belly as if drawing strength from within, and softly said, "As long as the baby is doing well, I feel that everything is worth it; there is still hope for the days ahead."

I wanted to get divorced early and leave the Valence Group.

Jacquar was so big that it would probably be difficult for Christopher and me to meet again.

I would take care of the child and spend time with him peacefully.

In the near future, he would start calling me 'mommy."

Thought of such a life, I felt very happy heartily.

It didn't matter that I was wronged at this moment.

As long as they didn't hurt my child, anything would be fine.

Elissa's anger subsided. "Now that you are pregnant, it's right to prioritize the child."

*Does Christopher really listen to her?7

"Not at present," I shook my head. At least, we have to wait until after Bentley's birthday banquet."

Whether it was him or Evelyn, they both feared Grandpa.

And I was also worried that Grandpa couldn't handle the emotional stress.

"It's coming soon."

Elissa nodded. "Was Christopher really in love with Evelyn, or did her mother's life-saving grace morally blackmail him?"

"Who knows?"

I didn't want to guess either.

The cause was not important; what mattered was the outcome.

He chose Evelyn every time.

Elissa thought for a moment. "With a personality like Evelyn's, Christopher must be blind to like her. It must be just because of saving his life."

I suddenly wondered. "What would you do if you knew that someone you trusted had actually killed someone close to

you?"

"I have no close relatives." Elissa didn't even think about it, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Just as I was about to comfort her, she smiled and said, "But if anyone wants to harm you, I will definitely fight them."

I was both touched and amused. "If you were a man, I would divorce and marry you right away."

Elissa raised an eyebrow. "Really? Is that true?"

As I was about to answer, someone knocked on the door, and the doorbell rang.

Elissa has been experiencing a slight ache in her abdomen, so I rose to open the door instead.

"Quick, come here and give me a kiss."

As the door swung open, Ivan stood, propping up the door frame with one hand, striking a pose he thought was quite. handsome, eyes closed and lips puckered.

I almost laughed out loud. Elissa, with precision, threw a pillow that landed right on top of Ivan.

"Don't embarrass yourself!"

"What?"

When Ivan opened his eyes, he looked startled. "Hope! It's you, huh..."

Then, he awkwardly scratched his head and said, "You're here too."

"Hmm, I came to kiss Elissa, too, I teased, pointing to the shoe cabinet. "Help yourself."

Seeing him like this, he must have come here before. He didn't need me to bring him slippers..

Turning back, I gave Elissa a questioning look.

Elissa shrugged. "It's not what you think. I'm still single."

"Hope, just wait for my good news!" Ivan relieved of his embarrassment, changed into his slippers and laughed.

Elissa said, "Get lost; how did you get here?"

"You said you were sick, so I came to see you.

"Did you visit the patient without bringing a gift?"

"As soon as you told me, I was anxious and didn't take care of anything. I'll place the order right now."

1 tactfully carried the drawing board into the bedroom, sat on the window seat, and immersed myself back into work.

It was the time when kindergarten was letting out, and hearing the sounds of children playing and laughing caused me to frequently lose focus.

I couldn't help but wonder what my child's future would be like.

If it was a boy, he could look like Christopher. Christopher had a very handsome appearance and a good physique.

If she were a girl, then she should look like me. I would give her a little more love and let her live a happy life forever

and ever.

It shouldn't be like me, falling in love at the sight of a faint light.

After a period had elapsed, Elissa pushed the door and entered. "Hope, would you like to go out for some fresh air?"

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know once you go.

Elissa pulled me and said, "Come on, let's go out and have some fun. If you don't come with me, I'll definitely end up drinking."

"Okay." I compromised.

She just had a little better and shouldn't make herself uncomfortable by drinking again.

Ivan was driving, and both Elissa and I were in the back seat.

"I've invited them and they will be waiting for us at the usual spot. Ivan glanced at his phone and replied to the group message with one hand, saying, "Only Chris and Cecil haven't responded." He was making plans to invite more people again.

After passing several traffic lights, I knew where we were heading.

It was indeed the "usual spot that I knew, where I went to pick up Christopher at that private club late at night.

Elissa played with her rrings. "Invite Cecil again, please. Hope is participating in the design competition for the MS Group; it's a good opportunity to get closer to him."

Before I could refuse, she explained preemptively, "I didn't mean it the same way as last time. I was just thinking, when you win first place, you'll still have to collaborate and work with their team, so it's important to maintain good. relations, right?"

I chuckled, "You're so sure I'll win first place?"

"Of course."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ivan exclaimed. "Why they are coming together?"

"Who?" inquired Elissa over the phone. Neither of us was paying attention to the group message.

Ivan said, "Chris and Cecil. Didn't you ask me to call Cecil? I tagged him and said Hope was also here, asking him to come over and play together. As a result, both he and Chris replied instantly, saying they were coming."

She pondered for a moment and looked at me. "He must have come for you, right?"
