Outside the house, under the grapevine, Christopher Robinson was sitting on a stone bench with a phone in hand, a cup of tea by his side. In the distance, he saw Isaac Fenton approaching with many gifts.
The one who reached out was a woman clad in a jade-green cheongsam.
Amelia Cobb's gaze stiffened as she recognized the woman - it was none other than Kallie Rayno.
Amelia sprang up from the sofa and hurriedly walked toward the courtyard.
Hearing the footsteps, Christopher slightly turned his head while still holding his phone.
Amelia was surprisingly swift and didn't hesitate for a second. She dashed right out and collided with someone carrying a bowl of soup, spilling it all over her.
"Watch out."
"Christopher Robinson, you're a damn jinx!"
Both of their grievances were aired at once. Amelia felt that, ever since she'd met Christopher, not a single day had gone smoothly. It was like he was bad luck incarnate.
How did Christopher feel?
Amelia's outburst startled him.
