Laura had never thought that Kristina would be Christine's sister.
Gentry didn't sit with them at the same table. He probably felt that it was a bit awkward for a man to sit with two women. They wouldn't have anything in common to talk about.
So he sat at another table and ordered a cold drink.
Laura felt a bit weird, but she didn't ask him to come over and sit with them because she saw Kristina seemed to be OK with this.
She looked at Kristina, frowned, and asked, "Does Christine know that you're back in the country?"
Kristina was stunned for a moment because she didn't think that Laura would ask her this.
It seemed that Kristina had never thought about this before.
After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't think so."
Christine would definitely hate her if she had known.
She had promised her that she would leave the city, stay away from that man and never come back.
But she failed to keep her promise. She came back over 20 years later.
She wondered what her sister would do upon knowing she was back.
She thought about that in a daze.
Laura didn't know what to say. She always had a feeling that Kristina didn't tell her the whole story.
Why did Chad have her photo in a book if they were sisters?
That was odd.
Laura actually figured out something in her mind, but she couldn't believe it was true.
Christine didn't like her to be Max's wife and had hurt her self-esteem too many times.
But to Laura's surprise, she didn't hate Christine that much.
Sometimes she was mean, but in fact, she was not a bad person.
She could have separated them if she was awful enough.
She didn't really do it. Maybe because of her kindness and love for her son, she didn't make things too hard for them.
Thinking of that, Laura looked at Kristina again with a wary gaze.
"I'm sure Mrs. Nixon will be thrilled to know that you're back."
Kristina was slightly stunned. When she read Laura's implication in her words, her face changed slightly.
She frowned slightly and said in a pleading tone, "Laura, could you do me a favor?"
She seemed to be eager for her help with a pleading tone.
Laura didn't agree at once. Instead, she asked, "What is it?"
"Don't tell my sister that I met you in Eqitin and that I'm back."
Laura paused and frowned.
She asked out of curiosity, "Why?"
Kristina pursed her lips and did not speak.
There was a dead silence.
After a long while, she said, "I did something terrible to her a long time ago. I could have died, but she had forgiven me and pulled me back from hell."
