when she left he went crazy (Hope and Christopher)

CHAPTER 24

When she left, He went crazy

Chapter 24 I Have No Legitimate Right

On the way to dinner, I thought about what had just happened and still felt confused about myself.

When Evelyn asked that question, I actually expected Christopher to say something to defend me.

For example, “She should rightfully spend my money.”

“She doesn’t need your permission to spend my money.”

But how did Christopher respond?

He said, “This car was bought for her by Bentley. He explained this to Evelyn.

However, this car was clearly the Valentine’s Day gift he gave me not long ago.

When Evelyn was making a scene, he didn’t recognize that this car was mine, which was fine, but he even forgot how this car came about.

Perhaps he remembered, but he didn’t want Evelyn to know that he was actually good to me.

As his wife, I surprisingly didn’t have the proper right to use marital property and still needed be cautious in front of his former lover.

But he should give a car to Evelyn in front of me, gently coaxing her, “Alright, you’re thirty now; stop being stubborn. I can buy you the same car; changing the color of the car won’t take much time.”

Looking at the night scene outside the car with flashing lights, I suddenly felt bitter and vile in my heart.

He could give the same thing he gave me to someone else.

Elissa was driving and asked, “Are you still thinking about what just happened?”

“Yes.”

I knew we would definitely get a divorce, but I was still afraid of disappointment time and time again.

Elissa narrowed her eyes, didn’t scold as usual, and just said, “If she wants to drive the same car as you, I’ll teach he00:2 how to behave.”

-21 conced something was off.

“What are you planning to do?” I sensed something was off.

“Don’t worry; I have boundaries; you’re pregnant, so just rest assured!”

The restaurant was not far from the car dealership, and as soon as Elissa finished speaking, the car slowly stopped at the restaurant’s entrance.

The restaurant had been open for over a decade. Although it was a bit remote, the food was delicious and very popular, and many locals liked to dine here.

Getting out of the car, I warned her, “Don’t be impulsive, okay? Right now, I want a smooth divorce with him; nothing

else matters.

“Okay, I got it.”

Elissa nodded perfunctorily and queued up at the restaurant’s entrance.

Seeing the large number of customers waiting to dine, both Elissa and I were stunned.

There were still forty to fifty customers ahead of us waiting; how long would we have to wait?

Just as we were in distress, someone upstairs pushed open the window, revealing a handsome face, and casually said, “Elissa, come up quickly. We’ve reserved a table!”

It was Ivan.

I never expected this playboy to show up in such a noisy place.

Elissa was annoyed with him at first, but upon hearing that there was a table available, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she took my hand and went upstairs.

It was a semi–open private room with Ivan and Cecil inside.

Ivan was as vivid and luxurious as ever, while Cecil preferred casual wear, looking gentle and elegant.

1 greeted them with a smile.

“Copycat,” Elissa greeted, scolding Ivan while sitting down, “I shouldn’t have told you I was coming here for dinner.”

“Hehe, if I didn’t come, you’d have to wait a long time,” Ivan shamelessly said.

“If it werent for Hope, I wouldn’t have accepted your favor, Elissa ruthlessly retorted.

He didn’t mind and looked at me smilingly. “Thanks to Mrs. Valence.”

The restaurant exuded a cozy ambiance and is bustling with energy. The booths were only surrounded by light curtains, which did not fully block out the sounds from outside. The food on the table emitted an enticing aroma, Bon whetting one’s appetite.

Ivan poured us drinks, which is rare, and said seriously, “Let’s raise our glasses to congratulate Cecil on becoming the CEO of the MS Group’s subsidiary.”

I looked at Cecil in surprise, “Cecil, you joined MS Group?” And he was even an executive.

Connie always told me how much she admired Cecil, but it wasn’t until this moment that I realized Cecil’s abilities far exceeded the trophies he had won.

Although The Valence Group was large, it only partially participated in the fashion industry, focusing more on sectors bike real estate, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors.

MS Group, on the other hand, was one of the top luxury brands in the design world that most people aspired to..

Cecil smiled faintly, “Yes, this was just confirmed.”

“Because he just agreed to it.”

Ivan wouldn’t let him he modest, “MS Group had been in contact with him before he returned to the country; he hadn’t made up his mind, and he only made the decision now.”

Even 1, let alone Connie, began to admire him. I joked, “Cecil, it won’t be long. Jacquar University will set up a column for you; you are Jacquar University’s pride.”

Apart from this, Christopher had long been featured in Jacquar University’s on–campus column, and even though he had graduated many years ago, many Jacquar University students were his fans.

Perhaps he was always a bright star in the sky that I shouldn’t have selfishly tried to claim as my own.”

“So, are you celebrating Cecil’s joining MS Group today?” Elissa asked as she ate.

“Yes.”

Ivan nodded, “Let’s eat quickly. I have other arrangements for later.”

As he spoke, he glanced at me, “Too bad Chris is busy; otherwise, you two…”

I could tell he didn’t want me to divorce Christopher.

“Don’t talk during dinner.”

Elissa quickly stuffed a pie into his mouth.

I chuckled, “It’s not worth regretting.”

He had someone he wanted to be with.

Since we were getting a divorce, we each had our own lives, which was normal.

“Yes, this was normal.”

Descended after dinner, perhaps distracted, I missed a step on the stairs, but luckily, a large hand steadied me, preventing me from falling.

After making sure I was stable, Cecil gently reminded me, “Be careful. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

I just twisted my foot a bit.

However, I didn’t expect my foot to be twisted quite severely, as it hurt a lot with each step.

Cecil furrowed his brow, “Does it hurt a lot?”

“It’s okay.”

I smiled and limped down the stairs, holding onto the railing.

Elissa and ivan paying the bill ahead of us. I sighed, “I twisted my foot; you guys go on playing; I need to go home

first.”

“Is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Elissa asked with concern.

“I’m fine; it’s just a minor issue.”

I handed her the car keys, “I just can’t drive; leave it

t to you”

“How will you get back? By taxi? Do you need me to take you home first?”

“Let me take Hope home.”

After Cecil suggested, he checked the time and said helplessly, “I have a video conference tonight, so I can’t continue playing with you guys.”

“That’s fine.”

Hearing this, Ivan was naturally happy, grabbed Elissa, and left, saying. Then we’ll leave Mrs. Valence to you.”

for me to

Elissa struggled in vain, gesturing for me to call her if I needed anything.

I chuckled and nodded, “Okay.”

There was no railing there, so Cecil took my arm, helped me into the car, and said worriedly, “Let me take you to the hospital to have a look; a twisted foot could be serious.”

“I’m fine, it’s not that serious.”

I chuckled lightly, “I’ll be fine after a night’s rest.”

“Then wait in the car for a few minutes.”

With that, he walked away.

Soon, he returned with a bag, got into the driver’s seat after passing the bag to me, and said helplessly, “Now that you

refuse to go to the hospital, you still need to apply some ointment.”

“Thank you.”

“What did you promise me the other day?” He interrupted with a light laugh teasingly.

“Oh.”

Chapter 24 I Have No Legitimate Right

I remembered, paused, and then smiled cunningly, “Alright, I appreciate it.”

“You…” He shook his head helplessly, smiled, and said nothing more before driving away.

The night street lights were bright, there were many vehicles on the road, and the speed wasn’t fast.

A soothing song played in the car, and my thoughts were in a jumble.

“Hope, are you feeling unwell?”

Cecil’s gentle voice suddenly sounded halfway through the journey.

I was slightly surprised, “Why do you ask?”

“When you were eating just now, you seemed a bit nauseous.”
