Gossip Girl Reborn (Isabella and Alexander) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Plane Tickets Are Not That Expensive

No sooner had Rosalie and Evian ascended the stairs than an elated Christopher brought Luna back.

They exchanged pleasantries briefly and Christopher kept looking at his mother, gesturing for her to give them some space. Selena, understanding her son’s intention, quickly brought Isabella away to not be a third wheel.

Once they were out of sight, Christopher hurriedly served Luna all the snacks and fruits arranged on the

table.

His actions left Luna in a daze, giving her a feeling that the person sitting next to her was the same Christopher from her childhood who would always give her the best of everything.

“Don’t bother. Your injury…” she began. 

Christopher instantly let his wounded hand rest, serving Luna with just one hand as he broke into a goofy smile. “Like I said, I’m fine. My wounds heal very quickly.”

Luna nodded in relief and said, “Actually, I came today because I have something else to tell you.”

“Go ahead. Christopher sat up straight, behaving in a way that seemed to say “I’m all cars” as if he could devote all his patience to Luna.

Luna frowned. “I hope our team’s plan to go abroad and collaborate with other research institutes won’t be altered.

The look in Christopher’s eyes subtly shifted.

Luna spoke with a firm expression. “It’s more convenicht for us to go abroad for our research. Your proposed condition made Prof. Wilcox hesitate. Now that we’ve cleared the air, I hope you’ll-”

Christopher quickly said, “I’m not using the investment as leverage to keep you by my side. I’ll never be the stumbling block that gets in your way when you’re starting a new chapter of your life.”

He lowered his gaze and admitted in desolation, “I confess to having personal motives, but country won’t affect your research, I’m even willing to invest more.”

If staying in the

Luna’s gaze flickered for a moment, but she firmly said “Money can’t solve everything when it comes to detailed research. Otherwise, no one is willing to leave their hometown for five years. We can’t der Quirk Group suffer a loss either. We hope you can withdraw the additional conditions. We want to go abroad.”

Christopher looked at Luna’s icy countenance, his lips trembling. “All right, I understand. I’ll tell my brother about it.”

As though she had completed her mission, Luna got ready to leave, not wanting to stay for even a second longer. “Thank you,” she said, “I’ll head back now and inform everyone to prepare for departure. We can’t afford to delay our research progress any further.”

After speaking, she stood up.

Christopher instantly stood up, too.

You’re injured, so stay put. You don’t have to walk me out.” Luna said to Christopher with a smile. “I wish you all the best in the future.”

Suddenly, Christopher asked, “Is it really over between us?”

Luna looked at Christopher, noticing his reddened eyes. She found herself stumped when facing an emotional Christopher, but she had learned from her mistake. Since she hadn’t recovered from the Crauma yet, she couldn’t possibly give him another chance.

“All I want now is to live my life well and focus on my research. If possible… I might not even return after five years. I plan to settle down overseas for long–term study and research, so it would be difficult for us to meet again,” she said.

She bore no resentment toward Christopher, so she didn’t want to keep him waiting, making it clear to him that she would never come back.

After saying all that, Luna didn’t hesitate for a moment before turning and walking away.

Yet, Christopher felt as if his feet were glued to the floor, unable to take a single step forward. Tears were welling up in his eyes. © NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.

The pain of seeing a loved one walk away from you is just as intense as grief! Christopher sobbed.

She’s going abroad, not to heaven! Are plane tickets really that expensive? If I’m not mistaken, the Quirk family owns a private jet, right?

Is he really that foolish or just overthinking? Does he not see it?

At that moment, Evian and Rosalie, who were worried, also arrived in the hallway. Just as they were about to ask what was going on, they saw Christopher suddenly rise to his feet and dash out, his tears flying in
