Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 11

Chris' eyes flickered with surprise when he turned around and looked at me. Soon, a flash of anger appeared in his deep eyes.

"Madeline, there's a time and place for your stubbornness. Jewel is—"

"I'm your fiancée," I cut him off. Saying that made me feel so lowly.

When I watched TV and saw scenes like this, I used to think that the female lead was weak and that such a man wasn't worth the effort. Now that it was happening to me, I finally understood how it felt.

"Jewel is pregnant. I can't let anything happen to her!" Chris insisted as he stepped back.

A few steps later, he turned around and ran outside.

In the end, between Jewel and me, he didn't choose me.

Sitting there, I saw him catch up with Jewel. They struggled with one another until Jewel clung to his clothes and collapsed into his arms.

I lowered my head. I couldn't watch them any longer.

Whether or not there was something between them, his choice today gave me the answer to my wavering heart.

In the end, I barely ate a bite of that meal, yet I paid a three-thousand-dollar bill.

I didn't go back to Gildon Estate; instead, I went to Lisa's place.

"Have you really decided to break up?" Lisa, the gynecology expert, massaged my acupoints, relieving me from the torment of menstrual pain.

While she could heal my body, she couldn't heal my heart.

"Yes." I sprawled on her bed at an angle where she couldn't see my red eyes.

"You might find it harder to end things with him than you think." Lisa paused. "Don't forget you're Chris' assistant."
