Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

After leaving the bar, Elaine stayed beside Christopher. He drank a little too much, stumbling as he walked. So, Elaine complained, "Since you already know it was just for a show, why do you still have to drink so much? It will only make you feel uncomfortable."

"A show? They're different from Shane. They're not gentlemen. If I don't drink, they won't let me go," Christopher said as he shook her off. "Alright, now go look for your lover. There's no need to pay attention to me."

"Don't be like this. At least, the child is still yours." Elaine gently held his arm. "You are the father of my child. No matter what, I still..."

"Go away." Christopher pushed her away. "I have nothing to do with you, and I don't care about the authenticity of the DNA report. But if you mention it again, I will let you die."

Christopher's gentleness completely disappeared. The hostility in his eyes was potent enough to kill. Elaine could have died on the spot.

"No matter what, as long as I publicize the DNA report, then..."

Before Elaine could finish, Christopher tightened his fingers around her neck. His nails dug deeply into her flesh, and his gaze was more intense than before. His fingers wouldn't stop closing in as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Elaine struggled forcefully, but she felt herself slowly losing consciousness. Fear crept up in her, and she started begging.

Christopher let go of his hand and looked down at her. "This is the last time. If it happens again, I will f*ck you up."

Christopher left Elaine alone on the ground and walked away.

Elaine sat on the floor, thinking about how unreasonable Christopher was. He actually wanted to strangle her to death. Moreover, the merciless force he exerted was nothing like how he used to be. How on earth did he become like this? Elaine was puzzled. She didn't see anything wrong in her cooperation with Christopher, but...

Christopher was behaving less like himself every day. He didn't seem to know the boundaries whenever he does something. If he continued to behave like this, NC would obviously go bankrupt. By then, if Emerson Corporation was affected, all her efforts would be in vain.

Just when she was thinking.

Elaine thought that it would be better to take the initiative, so she immediately phoned Avery.

Avery was teaching Olive economics theories. Olive was smart enough to understand them easily, and she was neither arrogant nor reckless. She wouldn't ask Avery for toys as a requirement for serious learning. Her hard work and intelligence were worthy of her ambition.

Avery was upset when he received the phone call. He frowned and picked it up, "What?"

"Avery, this is Elaine. I have something important to tell you. Christopher's undercity men contacted me, he..."

The so-called undercity was the city under Brine.

Brine was a whole city, but many years ago, an accident divided this place into the uppercity and the undercity.
