Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 469 No Longer As Fond Of Her As Before

As Michael posed his gentle question, a hint of bitterness flickered in Christopher’s eyes. While he had often heard murmurs about Michael’s favoritism towards him, he had never dwelled on it. Yet, amidst the evolution of the Sanders Family situation and Michael’s consistent care, Christopher’s heart warmed deeply.

Michael possessed a profound understanding of Christopher. Observing his furrowed brow and pursed lips, Michael detected subtle signs of emotional turmoil and inquired, “Is everything alright?”

Reflecting, Michael acknowledged, Despite Fanny’s lack of biological ties to the Kins Family, their genuine kindness towards her was unmistakable. Despite encountering some internal challenges within the Kins Family company, the alliance between the two families yielded more benefits than drawbacks.

Furthermore, Michael had taken the initiative to visit George, ensuring the smooth

progression of the marriage between the Kins Family and the Sanders Family. While James held authority within the Kins Family, George’s involvement necessitated his participation in Fanny’s marriage. This communication could lay the groundwork for future mutually advantageous agreements with the Kins Family.

Nevertheless, Michael experienced discomfort during his encounter with George. Previously, he harbored a negative perception of Fanny and the Kins Family, making it especially difficult for him to regard George, the incompetent leader of the Kins Family, with respect. George’s lack of competence and involvement in multiple scandals in Riverdon have been well–documented. George’s relationship with Linda remained a subject of conversation and an exemplary example within certain social circles.

After the Martinez Family incident, Michael found Fanny to be the most fitting daughter–in- law, and he could no longer dismiss the Kins Family or George.

Michael and his company desperately needed an opportunity, while he and Teresa were enthusiastic about the prospect of having a grandchild. Hence, the optimal situation would involve Christopher getting married shortly. Coincidentally, Fanny was someone Christopher harbored affection towards, fulfilling Christopher’s desires. To his disapproval of Fanny as a daughter–in–law, one potential solution could involve her promptly conceiving a grandchild after marriage, subsequently allowing them to reside apart. In this manner, they could concentrate on their grandchild’s upbringing.

Christopher was unaware that Michael had already formulated an alternative plan. Upon hearing Michael’s worried inquiry, Christopher quickly shook his head. “Nothing’s wrong. I brought up

the topic of marriage with her, and she agreed.”

“I will discuss the timeline with her later, and then I will go to Northland to fetch her,” Christopher stated this with no intention of consulting Fanny. He understood Fanny’s eagerness for him to visit Northland and pick her up, but he was unable to dispel the notion that it might not be the
