Chapter 45: Fearing to Kiss His Lips

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Fearing to Kiss His Lips

"What now, Mr. Hart, are you planning to make me your ’village chief’s wife’?" she mocked intentionally, knowing this man would neither dare nor do it.

Christopher Hart smiled a smile but didn’t pick up on that, and self-mockingly said, "You’ve won! No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"

It turns out she had been well prepared long ago, wiping clean all traces that could prove her identity.

"Hart..."

"Do you think by doing this you can make a clear cut from me?"

The man interrupted her, a dark smile on his face.

"The more you do this, the more it stirs my interest in you!"

"..." The woman’s eyes flitted back and forth, showing a hint of panic.

"I don’t care if you’re Amelia Garcia or Clarke Norton... from today on, don’t even think about escaping the palm of my hand—’village chief’s wife’... that’s not a bad idea."

His tone was low, enunciating every word with gritted teeth.

Amelia Garcia outwardly remained calm, but inside she was already in turmoil.

Had he gone mad?

Could it be that he was seeking compensation from her after suffering emotional damage from Lily Garcia?

"Psycho!" she coldly responded, pushing him away with a shove.

But before she could escape his domain, she was dragged back against the wall.

"Have you had enough! I can sue you for harassment!"

"This is my house..." the implication being, you’re in my house, who would believe that I’m harassing you?

"Shameless!"

The man was unfazed, his handsome face closing in until his thin lips were just a hair’s breadth from her breathing.

Amelia Garcia didn’t dare move, even her breath was carefully restrained, fearing any contact with his lips.

This madman, what on earth was he planning to do!

"If you want to hide, then hide well... or else, if I catch you, I will make you regret it immensely!" He was definitely sober when he said this, his demeanor calm and gaze intimidating.

"Psycho!" Amelia Garcia spat out the three words with hatred, pushed him away forcefully, and without looking back, she left slamming the door.

This time, Christopher Hart didn’t stop her and instead steadied himself unsteadily, shoulders slumped, face downturned.

After a while, as though waking from a dream, he raised his hands to rub his tired and numb face fiercely, then punched the wall angrily.

Damn woman!

In his entire life, he never thought he would be toyed with by a woman!

-------------

Amelia Garcia had just arrived home when Kane’s call came.

"I thought you wouldn’t come home tonight."

She sat down to catch her breath and asked weakly, "How did you know I wasn’t at home?"

"Shaw told me." The man answered and then suggested, "Want to take the kids out tomorrow, is it convenient?"

Amelia Garcia leaned back on the couch, her eyes void of light.

"Probably not... he’s still suspicious of my identity, he seems determined to not give up until he gets his way, I’m afraid he’ll discover the boys."

"OK! Then I’ll take them out by myself."

"Can you handle it?" Amelia Garcia sat up, skeptical, but before the call could be answered, she was alerted that there was another incoming call.

"Kane, wait a minute, Snow Fitch is calling, I have to go."

After ending the call in English, she quickly answered her best friend’s call, "Hello, Little Snow, this late..."

"My dear! Great news!" Snow Fitch interrupted her excitedly.

She was confused: "What great news?"

"My aunt is in the emergency department, right? She said that Lily Garcia was admitted to the hospital tonight, but after a short stay in the ER, the Garcia Family had her transferred."

Amelia Garcia didn’t understand why this was considered great news, and moreover, she had no interest in Lily Garcia’s well-being.

"Haha... my aunt said, listening to her cry to her mother, Christopher Hart wants to call off the engagement! No matter what, he refuses to marry her!"

Snow Fitch was genuinely excited and agitated.

"Hahaha, she surely didn’t expect that, despite all her schemes, it was all for naught! To please the Hart Family, to get on Christopher’s good graces, she even went so far as to give away one of her kidneys! Honestly, to be so ruthless to oneself, it really isn’t something just anyone can do!"

"But, the irony is—of all the Hart Family members, not a single one was a match, but she, unrelated and unexpected, turned out to be a perfect match."

"They say the odds are one in a million! Do you think this is fate or misfortune? That she got such an opportunity to climb up the Hart Family!"

Amelia Garcia listened calmly, her heart uncertain between joy and sorrow.

Wendy Hart had always been frail and sickly; doctors initially said she wouldn’t live past 20.

But, with the Hart Family’s wealth giving her the best care, the doctors later said there might still be a miracle.

However, after that cruise party accident, her health deteriorated rapidly, and in just a few short years, she developed kidney failure, needing a transplant to survive.

What nobody expected was that Wendy Hart waited years without a suitable donor, even her own family weren’t a match—yet Lily Garcia happened to be one!

It was heard that not long after her divorce from Christopher Hart, Lily Garcia selflessly donated a kidney to Wendy Hart.

Originally, Lily Garcia was an adopted daughter who came to the Garcia Family with her mother and only changed her surname to Garcia upon joining them. Her status was not soundly established, so she was never acknowledged by the Hart Family.

But this act of enormous generosity instantly elevated her status.

And her former mother-in-law, head of the older generation of the Hart Family, Emma Carter, since then joyously determined that Lily Garcia would be the next chosen daughter-in-law, fixing the engagement.

Snow Fitch went on and on, but when she heard silence here, she was puzzled: "Hello!? Did you hear me?"

"I did." Amelia Garcia snapped back to reality, her tone still even, "I know about this."

"You know?"

"Yes, I’ve just come back from Christopher Hart’s place. He fooled me into going there by claiming he needed me for something, but he went back to the Hart ancestral home afterward, and he came back tonight completely drunk."

"What’s the situation?"

"I don’t know... I heard from Benny Palmer that he broke up with Lily Garcia, I thought he was drowning his sorrows over a broken heart."

Snow Fitch laughed, "A broken heart? Impossible! Christopher never cared for Lily Garcia, all these years, it’s just been Lily chasing after his cold shoulder!"

Amelia Garcia didn’t respond.

Suddenly, Snow Fitch said something surprising: "Actually, I feel that Christopher still has feelings for you."

She was shocked, "How could that be possible? He’s convinced that I was the one who pushed Wendy overboard, causing her condition to worsen, leading to her untimely death."

"It’s normal for reality and emotions to conflict. If he didn’t have any leftover feelings for you, he wouldn’t be so indulgent with Hope."

"..." Amelia Garcia froze, then fell silent again.

Considering Christopher’s behavior towards her tonight, she almost misunderstood that he might still have residual feelings for her.

But there were too many obstacles between them.

Unable to reconcile four years ago, the contradictions now only intensified, making resolution even more difficult.

WhatsApp "ding-dong ding-dong" sounded off; she saw it was from Shaw, worried it might be about the kids, she opened WhatsApp without hanging up the phone.

But when she read the message, her surprised face froze.

"Sis! Something’s happened! You’ve been exposed online!" Shaw’s voice message came through, her tone serious.
