Chapter 642 Bringing Him Up In Front Of Christopher

I was forced to invite Kevin and Aimes for coffee, along with Ian, who was invited by Kevin. I had afeeling Kevin thought Aimes would make things difficult, so he had Ian come along.

They each ordered a cup of coffee following that, and Kevin thoughtfully ordered a strawberry cake forAimes. However, Aimes shouted at Kevin, "A strawberry cake? Do I look like someone who likes it? Doyou want everyone to know that I am a..."

Aimes suddenly stopped at that instant.

I pretended not to hear anything, but it was too late.

He didn't even make it hard to be figured out.

Aimes was the one who had an effeminate nature!

I turned my head and chuckled at the window. Just then, Ian suddenly called out, "Ree." I quickly hidmy laughter and turned to him. "What's up?"

He asked expectantly, "I heard Serene Johnston has been with you a lot lately. Did she ever mentionme in front of you?"

It was true that I had been with Serene every day previously because of the concert, but she nevermentioned Ian in front of me.

Serene was not a person who would dwell on the past. Although she had never mentioned Ian in frontof me, I thought we simply hadn't gotten that close to discussing a man more than anything.

I wanted to tell him the truth originally, but I told a white lie when I saw his hopeful look. "She did."

"Well, what did she say about me?"

What did Serene say about Ian?

It was hard for me to answer as I couldn't come up with something that didn't even happen.

"She mentioned you a few times in passing. I can't remember the specifics. Have you not seen herthese days?"

"She's not in Espoo. She went back to the Johnston Family to take care of her grandfather a few daysago, and she also mentioned that he doesn't have much time left."

I reminded him, "You must accompany her at times like these if you really have feelings for her, Ian.Women are at their most vulnerable states during such a time. I didn't feel much when my motherpassed away because there was not much between us. But the more I thought about it when I wasalone, the sadder I became. I didn't expect Shawn would accompany me that night, but I was reallygrateful for his timely appearance."

Aimes took a sip of coffee before asking, "Are you showing off?"

I fell silent after that. Ian sighed and replied, "Things between me and her are still complicated. We'lltalk more about it later."

Suddenly, Kevin asked, "Are you busy lately, Ian?"

"I'm in the middle of the busiest period. I have to pull through the next two weeks somehow," Ianreplied.

Kevin continued after he let out a sigh with empathy, "Indeed, these two months are the busiest for us.I'm still relatively free now. But you and Sunny will be busy for a while. I really feel it for you."

"You can replace me at work for a few days if that's the case, Kev."

Kevin stopped speaking when he heard that.

Kevin and Ian had to go back to work after they had finished their coffee, leaving only I and Aimes.

I asked, "Are you going to see Kev later?"

Aimes only rolled his eyes as he replied, "Why would I look for him?"

I fell silent once again.

He asked just as I finished my coffee and was about to leave, "Has Colin contacted you?"

I asked in confusion, "Why would he contact me?"

"He was kidnapped. Didn't he ask for your help?"

I recalled what Kevin had told me at that instant.

Then, I tried to explain calmly, "Colin probably didn't feel right to ask me for help. We're not even thatclose after all. Plus, he always ensures that his dignity is intact, and I don't have that much money tohelp him anyway."

Aimes was skeptical, and he asked, "Would you sit down and chat with someone you're not close withfor an entire afternoon?"

I was instantly left speechless.

That felt like a punch right to the face.

I retorted after a moment, "So, is this what you'll do as someone close to him?"

Aimes got angry, and he asked, "How dare you question me!"

I only sighed and replied, "I really don't know him that well."

Moreover, he didn't even contact me. Why should I worry about him?

Besides, I didn't mind seeing him in such a miserable state anyway.

"Fine. I'm leaving."

Aimes left the coffee shop after saying that, leaving me behind. However, I saw Christopher sendEmma to the company from afar when I was alone.

So, I messaged Christopher after Emma entered the company, and he took out his phone to take alook at it before looking in my direction.

Christopher entered the coffee shop following that, and he asked, "Are you free today?"

He took a seat right across from me and ordered a cup of coffee.

"I'm sorry. I missed the meeting last time," I apologized.

I felt it was necessary to apologize in person even though I had explained the reason to Christopher onthe phone previously.

Christopher was a real gentleman. He replied, "It's okay. I heard from Emma that it was inevitable. So,don't worry about it."

I only nodded before asking, "When are you planning to return to Bryxton?"

"I found that Emma was always busy when I was in Espoo. She would only rest five to six hours a day.A young lady like her shouldn't carry such burdens at her age. Although I feel sorry for her, she didn'tmind about it at all. She said she would go back to Bryxton at the end of the month according to herplan, and my vacation would also be over by then. So, I plan to hold the remaining musical concertsdomestically only."

Christopher had been trying his best to cater to Emma's needs.

I laughed and said, "You've really done a lot for Emma."

Apparently, the thought of Emma made Christopher happy. He gently placed his hand on his headbefore adding, "I'm older than her, so it only makes sense that I do what I did. She's the one whoalways has to make sacrifices after all. Don't be fooled by her good temperament. She can be colderthan me and Shawn at times. It took me two whole years to pursue her. Even now, I'm not sure whyshe suddenly called me and asked if I wanted to marry her back then."

Christopher continued, "She actually thought of me when she wanted to get married, and I think that'svery special. Everything I've done for her is worth it."

"I wish you nothing but the best. I'm glad that you're a happy man now," I replied.

"You also have a man who cherishes you in his heart, little girl. You're just as happy too, but sadly, wecan't say the same goes for Nicholas just yet."

Christopher mentioning Nicholas reminded me of the last time we met.

He still loved me in his heart.

He owed me big time in this life.

But I also owed him a lot.

We owed each other too much to be only considered friends.

"When is he getting married?" I asked Christopher.

"He'll be marrying Aria pretty soon although there isn't a specific date just yet. Aria is getting older, andher family is pushing her to get married while Nicholas is also being urged by his father."

Christopher paused for a brief moment, and he claimed confidently, "Nicholas doesn't love Aria.Fortunately, she doesn't care about him not loving her. However, she does love him. Nicholas haslearned his lesson after his marriage with you. They will treat each other thoughtfully with respect evenif they can't love each other for now. So, their marriage should still work out well. In fact, they aregetting what they deserve if you ask me."

"Aria is not a greedy person."

"Aria is a talented person. A person like her loves Nicholas..." Christopher continued insightfully, "Shemust be a woman who has suffered gravely. Otherwise, she wouldn't just compromise and settle downlike this."

"I heard that Aria had an unhappy childhood."

Aria had told me a little about it before.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was from Colin.
