My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 148

Chapter 146

Something clearly must have happened between Emma and Christopher. But I had already heard her saying that it was a small matter, so it wasn't a subject I should bother about. Besides, I really shouldn't let my curiosity get the best of me, especially since it involved Christopher.

I hid away my curiosity as Christopher continued resignedly, "You're still young, so there are many things you don't understand. Perhaps it's a small matter to you, but to me…"

I wasn't sure what he would say after that, but it was probably a secret I shouldn't be privy to. However, before he could continue, Emma cut him off nonchalantly, "Uncle, what do you still want from me? I've already said countless times that it's not a big deal. Why are you so obsessed about it?!"

His voice became silent abruptly. He had probably never heard anyone speak to him like this in his thirty-one years of life, especially in such a cold tone while calling him an uncle.

After all, he was only in his thirties and still unmarried. However, if we consider Emma's age, there seems to be nothing wrong with her calling him uncle.

It looks like he had come to the same conclusion because he didn't bother correcting her. Instead, he only replied offhandedly, "Emma, please consider the proposal I spoke of before this."

She smiled sweetly, "Goodbye, Mr. Forger."

She hung up before he could react. Then, she leaned against the seat and sighed in frustration. "It was just a small matter, yet he keeps bringing it up. Why is that man so annoying? To think I even complimented him on how handsome he was the other day."

I chuckled and asked casually, "What is it that he keeps bothering you about?"

She shrugged, "It's not anything worth talking about."

Since she was reluctant to tell me, I decided not to press on the matter. Instead, I exclaimed in surprise, "I've known Christopher for many years. While we were not close, I've always had the impression of him as a cold and distant man. Whatever the matter, it must've been important enough to him to keep bringing it up."

She replied indifferently, "I've no idea what you adults are thinking about."

I smiled in response as I set up the navigation system to go to Bryxton.

It seems like Emma didn't sleep well the day before because she was asleep most of the time during the car ride. However, she woke up right as we arrived at the city, rubbing her eyes as she asked groggily, "Renee, how long before we arrive at Bryxton?"

"We've arrived. I was just about to go to Felix's Villa," I answered.

She asked curiously, "Have you lived there before?"

"Yeah, it's the place I grew up in."

Emma turned her head as she observed the gloomy skies above and said, "You can drop me off somewhere later. I have a friend staying here, so I plan to meet with them. You can pick me up later at night."

I agreed before reminding her, "Make sure to be careful."

She nodded in response, and I dropped her off after we reached the inner parts of the city.

I watched her disappear in the crowd before I drove away and ordered a takeaway when I reached the villa. After I ate, I decided to take a stroll in the gardens.

I could still remember playing in the gardens with Quinn when we were young.

But I could not recall what we were playing.

However, it was undeniable that the person who accompanied me throughout childhood was Quinn and Leon, who had always disliked the Felixs.

The older one gets, the more their childhood memories fade. I could barely recall the happy times I had shared with her. Instead, all that came to my mind were her mistakes.

I will never forgive her for what she did, nor will I give her a shred of my pity.

However, there were still many questions left in my heart. If Quinn only had one kidney and our family had no intentions of taking it, why did my parents adopt her from the orphanage?!

And to adopt her under Mr. Brennan's name.

I had no idea why they did that. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time when we met last time, so I didn't have the opportunity to ask them, especially since a car accident occurred when we were going back.

It's been a month since the incident occurred, yet I still haven't contacted them.

Maybe it was a cowardly act, but I didn't dare to press that number on my phone.

I just couldn't find it in me to contact the woman who gave birth to me and then abandoned me.

Why should I contact her?!

So that we could reenact a touching reunion?

No, I refuse. My family has always been the Felixs.

As my thoughts wandered to my parents, who were currently in Montreal, I decided to contact my birth mother as soon as possible.

I have to understand the truth behind the past and her true identity. This was necessary in order to dispel the worries in my parents' hearts, or they would never accompany me to Eldham for a reunion.

Finally, I took out my phone to stare at the foreign contact. I was still hesitating when a familiar voice reached my ears, "Renee, why didn't you give me a call so I can come and pick you up when you arrive?"

My body stiffened as I subconsciously took a few steps back from him. Then, I gave him a stern look as I sneered, "Even if I don't contact you, you'll still find some ways to track me down, right?"

A look of surprise flashed across as Nicholas looked at me innocently. In an instant, I knew that the man I was facing was the person I knew. So, I pursed my lips and asked, "Where is 'he'?"

By 'he', I meant his alternate personality.
