A Cue for Happiness

“Jacyntha, since when did you become my fiancée? Why don’t I know about it?” Jacyntha was sobbing

so much that she could hardly catch her breath. “Of course I am! The Smith family and the Collins family

think that we’re a perfect match. There has never been any woman by your side other than me. With all

that, can’t I be considered your fiancée?” Christopher closed his eyes and emphasized, “Jacyntha, you’re

not. You’ll never be my wife—be it in the past, present, or future. I allow you to stay by my side because I

treat you as my younger sister. I have no romantic feelings for you.” Jacyntha was merely upset at

Natalie’s words. However, when she heard Christopher’s words, she felt like a bomb had just exploded in

her heart. “You can’t treat me like this, Chris!” Ignoring the sales associates staring at her, she burst into

tears and wailed, “I like you so much that I’m dead set on marrying you! Do you think that I’m evil

because I bullied that woman? Is that why you said all that? I can apologize to her and seek her

forgiveness, but please don’t say something like that!” “Jacyntha, is it possible for you to stop liking me?”

“I… I can’t do it.” Jacyntha’s tears streamed down her cheeks. “Similarly…” Christopher continued coldly,

“I can’t make myself fall in love with you. I’ve already got my eyes set on someone else, and that person

isn’t you.” Jacyntha bit her lips. Despite her devastation, she kept clutching Christopher’s shirt. However,

Christopher pried her fingers away expressionlessly, not even sparing her a single word of consolation.

Watching as he left ruthlessly, Jacyntha burst into a crying fit. It’s all that woman’s fault! That freckled

woman has stolen Christopher’s heart! Ever since young, my biggest wish is to marry Chris. To me, he’s

my entire world. However, this woman just made me lose everything I have. Still crying, Jacyntha swore

that if she could not secure Christopher for herself, Natalie would not either. Since she could not bear to

harm Christopher, she would make life a living hell for Natalie. The wind was exceptionally cold that

night. After being drenched in the rain and splashed by coffee, Natalie wrapped her arms around herself.

She was tired and mentally exhausted. Suddenly, her phone rang. When she saw that it was a call from

Xavian, she forced herself to become more energetic. “Hello, Sweetheart!” “Mommy, I’m in Mr. Morin’s

car now. Franklin and Sophia are here too!” “What?” Natalie frowned. Although it was normal for Franklin

and Sophia to be fetched back to the Bowers residence, it was absurd that they had brought Xavian

away too. “Mr. Bowers wants me to live with Franklin and Sophia for a while.” After a slight pause,

Xavian continued carefully, “Also, Mommy, I… I want to live with them for a while too.” When Natalie

heard that, she felt like her heart had just been ripped into pieces. A sad feeling engulfed her. Since

Clayton was out filming a show, she only had Xavian with her. Yet, Xavian was gone as well, having been

snatched away by Samuel so easily. “Are you unhappy, Mommy?” “No…” Natalie pursed her lips. “Okay,

I understand.” After ending the call, Natalie bit onto her lips. Tears started welling up in her eyes. She did

not know why, but she suddenly felt very aggrieved. First, she could not cure Yana without the

dragonblood fruit. After that, she was splashed with coffee for no reason. Then, Xavian moved to the

Bowers residence. With all these added up, she could not contain her emotions any longer. Once she

returned home, she did not turn on the lights. Instead, she sat onto the ground in the dark. At that

moment, a man walked toward her slowly and stopped.Chapter 222 Her Fragility Christopher’s gaze was

filled with indifference when he gazed at Jacyntha.
