Chapitre 363: Meeting with the landowner

Abigail stirred from her sleep, astonished to see him dressed and preparing to leave for work so early.

Christopher, who was going out, paused and locked his gaze with hers. He couldn't get over what he had overheard on the phone the night before, igniting a storm of conflicting emotions inside him. He couldn't, however, simply walk away, ignoring her.

He was torn between wanting to confront her about it and feeling a sense of hesitation, not knowing how to approach the situation.

Part of him still cared deeply for her, and he longed to hold her close, to find solace in her embrace, and to beg her not to leave him. But the other part of him was wounded, angry, and disappointed, making him hesitate to engage in any conversation with her.
