Christina deliberately played the role of a pitiful damsel, her teary eyes brimming with innocence. However, she used the fact that Eric was standing behind her, so she subtly exposed the faint red marks on her neck.
“Alright, Wanda isn’t the petty type,” Eric interjected, as he was massaging his temples in frustration. “There’s nothing for her to misunderstand. We’ve done nothing wrong.”
Before Christina could say anything more, he cut her off, “Don’t you have to appear at
the media conference? You should leave now.”
“Mr. Gordon… but… but you promised that today you’ll.
When Eric saw Christina was about to say something detrimental and revealing, Eric’s voice turned cold, “Christina, you’re crossing the line!”
Her lips tightened in defiance, but seeing his expression, she eventually relented.
Shooting a covert glare at Wanda she put on her mask and left, her reluctance palpable.
Using his young age, Ben walked toward Wanda and said, “Mommy, Christina is here.
to help pick out a present for you! I wanted to get you the world’s most amazing birthday gift.”
Wanda said calmly, “I’m not upset. It’s just such a coincidence running into you all
here.”
She seemed detached, “Do you need anything else? If not, I’ll be heading back first.” “It’s rare for us to go out together,” Eric said, his softened voice. “There’s a charity.
auction tonight. Will you join me?”
Wanda said nothing, but her silence was enough for Eric to take it as agreement.
Without hesitation, he placed an arm around her slender waist. “You’ve gained some weight,” he remarked absentmindedly, then quickly added, “Yet, that’s a good thing. You were too thin before. Whether you’re slim or not, I way.”
love you either
Wanda’s lips curled into a cold smile, but she did not say anything.
Her weight hadn’t changed in years. His comment about her being fat was only
because he was accustomed to Christina’s waist.
Perhaps out of guilt, Eric took her to an upscale boutique and personally picked out a
red dress for her.
When Wanda emerged in full makeup while wearing a tailored gown, there was a flicker of amazement in his eyes.
Ben, on the other hand, clapped his hands directly and cheered, “Mommy, you look so
pretty!”
14:48 Sum, Dec
Wah Spring Again
When Wanda looked at her reflection, she couldn’t help but be reminded of the red
gown Christina had worn on television just days ago. For so many years, she had never
worn a red dress.
Yet, when it came to choosing a dress for her, Eric had instinctively picked Christina’s
favorite color.
In the past, she would have confronted him demanded him to give answers and even threatened to get a divorce. However, she did not care anymore.
With less than a week left, she decided to let him do as he pleased.
When they arrived at the auction that evening, Wanda wasn’t surprised to see Christina again. This time, she stood on the stage as the host of the show. Her witty remarks earned laughter from the crowd.
When she got off the stage, Christina intentionally sat next to Eric and even pinched
Ben’s face intimately.
On the contrary, Wanda, who was sitting on the side, was extraordinarily indifferent to the father and son duo. She did not take Christina’s provocation in her heart.
Her attention was directed to the stage and her eyes slowly reddened as she
recognized the final auction item.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the last exhibit was the necklace her mother had worn the day she was killed, the Eternal Heart.
The name symbolized the truest form of love.
Her mother had once joked that when Wanda grew up, she would gift her the necklace as part of her dowry.
Perhaps he noticed the way Wanda looked at this place was a bit strange, Eric was the first to raise his sign to bid. “Seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars,” he said,
However, a crisp female voice sounded immediately afterward, “Fifteen hundred.
dollars.”
Eric frowned when he heard that. He was very unhappy with Christina’s recklessness. Yet the woman was spoiled and pretended to be envious, “Mrs. Gordon is now a winner in life, Mr. Gordon loves you so much. Surely you wouldn’t begrudge me to get this necklace, right?”
After Left Was Spring Again
When he heard Christina’s provocative words, Ben tugged the corner of Wanda’s clothes. “Mommy, why don’t we just let Christina have the necklace? We already have so
many at home.”
Wanda forced a bitter smile. “What if this is the only one I want?”
She had never cared for luxury items, but this time, she refused to back down.
Eric gently squeezed her hand to comfort her before giving Ben a playful flick on his forehead. “In this family, we listen to Mommy. How can you give away something Mommy
likes?”
He raised his paddle again. In the end, Eric won the bidding with the price of seventy–five hundred thousand dollars.
Christina’s face turned red with rage. Tears glistened in her eyes as she stormed out of
the auction hall..
Eric took a deep breath, got up and prepared to chase after her. However, before he left, he leaned down and kissed Wanda on her forehead. “I’ll go get the necklace and grab a hot
milk for Ben while I’m at it.”
Ben, who had been about to follow his father, stopped in his tracks turned to Wanda and started to pester her to tell him a story. It was a familiar tactic and silent agreement
between the father and son duo.
In the past, Eric would use this trick to distract Wanda and give himself a legitimate excuse to slip away and indulge his passion in his escapades.
However, children were children and Ben’s ploy was easy to unravel, Wanda used the excuse of needing fresh air and slipped away. Ben didn’t press any further and let her go. She stalked Eric until he stopped Christina in the bathroom. From behind the wall that separated them, she could hear clearly Christina’s crying voice.
“It’s all your fault! You made me lose face in front of that woman. You only love her. You don’t care about me at all. If I’d met you earlier, there’s no way you would’ve married
her!”
Then she added, “The only reason she’s still around is because she is your childhood
sweetheart.”
Christina cried for a long time. Eric just listened and did not say anything. When she could not cry anymore, Eric laughed softly and said, “Look at you, you’ve cried like a little
kitten. You’re such a mess.”
His teasing only made the young woman puff out her cheeks in indignation and she

kitten. You’re such a mess.”
His teasing only made the young woman puff out her cheeks in indignation and she
put her hands on her hips. “I don’t care! Your wife stole the necklace I wanted. You have to
make it up to me tonight!”
The air between them grew thick with passion and Eric’s voice dropped to a husky
murmur, “You said it yourself. Don’t beg me to stop later.”
The man who always held himself when he was with Wanda turned into a ravenous
wolf in front of Christina..
Wanda stood there as she listened to the lewd sound, of their lovemaking and torturing herself. When it was about to end, she finally couldn’t bear it and fled the place that was
suffocating her.
What she did not know was that after she left Christina asked Eric, “Do you love me?” “If I didn’t, why would I do this with you?” Eric answered.
Seeing the lust clouding his eyes, she pressed further with a coy tone, “What if you had to choose between me and that old woman?”
“Of course, I’d choose you,” said Eric.
“Then how about you divorce her and marry me?” Christina asked.
When he heard this, Eric’s face instantly went cold. “You’re crossing the line.” Seeing that the girl was crying from his fright, Eric reverted back to his amorous demeanor. He held her in his arms and comforted her, “You know I rarely touch her. Isn’t that enough to show how much I love you?”
Christina through her tears. However, what she truly desired wasn’t just his affection. She wanted to be his legitimate wife. She was tired of sneaking around like a thief.
As she thought about this, her eyes drifted to her flat stomach. One day, she would
make Eric divorce Wanda willingly and marry her.
Meanwhile, Wanda had no idea where to go. She eventually found an empty room, the darkness within matching the emptiness in her heart.
