Nevertheless, I don’t understand why I can’t worry about Christopher. As it was the first time Darius spoke to me in such a stern manner, I was at a bit of a loss.
“He will still need to carry out missions in the future. Since you chose to be together with him, you need to be mentally prepared and stop feeling as anxious as you are now. Your negative emotions will affect everyone around you, and Chris would not want to see that. The ladies of the Lane family stay calm as they deal with challenges.”
“So this is the meaning of being the woman behind Christopher.” Looking at him, I could not help but laugh. Darius was right, for I had lost my mind as it was the first time this had happened to me.
The Lane family must have been the first to know about Christopher’s disappearance. However, even when I went over to have dinner with them, they did not bring it up as they had faith in Christopher. No wonder when we were eating, Julia seemed to have something to tell me even though she gave it up in the end.
It seemed that Julia had wanted to inform me about Christopher. However, she forgot about it after we got into a quarrel.
“Thank you for your advice. I understand now.” I smacked my head and calmed myself down. Since they chose to believe in Christopher, I should too. Then, I took a sip of the water and felt that it tasted sweeter from before. Although I wanted to hurry back to accompany Sabrina, I could not help but blurt out, “Darius, did my mother know about your identity when she met you?”
Darius was taken aback by my question. He hesitated for a moment before answering, “I was the one who told her about it. When she was going to graduate, I revealed my identity. At that time, Isabelle was startled and even rejected the gift I gave her. I had a hard time understanding why she stopped contacting me after that; she even refused to reply to all my email messages.” After smiling bitterly, he continued, “I don’t know why you’re suddenly asking me this question. However, I think I now understand why she cut me out of her life. It’s because I’m my mother’s son, so she chose to treat me as a random stranger.”
