He kept a low profile, always watching his back.
Later, someone started tailing him, trying to yank his hair. Owen smartly figured out they were after his DNA to run a paternity test with his shitty dad.
No way was he letting that happen.
A few days later. Diana got the results. Even though she had a hunch.about the outcome, seeing it in black and white still stung. Owen was the spitting image of Chris as a kid; how could he not be Chris's son? Despite the disappointment, she had to face the facts.
Diana thought about Leila. Chris had been flying solo for years, bout he still looked out for Leila, the only one who could get close to him.
Diana had no clue how things were going between Leila and Chris.
She went to find Leila, but neither of them had any idea where Chris was.
He'd taken off right after work, and no one knew where he went.
Leila suggested, "Maybe he's out drinking for work stuff. We could follow him and try to get him to take better care of himself."
Diana nodded.
They waited in the garage for half an hour before they saw Chris come down to get his car and tailed him.
Chris drove out to a villa in the suburbs, which was a surprise to Diana and Leila.
"Did he buy a place here? How did I not know?" Diana peered at the villa gates through the car window, feeling suspicious.
Leila stayed cool, "I have no clue either. He must be staying here lately.Why don't we grab some stuff to bring over? If he's living here, he'll need food and drinks."
Diana gave her an approving look and agreed.
They went shopping for a bunch of groceries and headed to the first villa near the gate. They saw Chris go into that villa.
Leila rang the doorbell.
Amelia, who was working in the living room, heard the bell and asked the maid to get the door.
"Chris, you..." Diana was stunned when she saw Amelia in the living room.
The groceries slipped from her hands.
Leila was just as shocked, "Ms. White, what are you doing here?"
Were they already living together?
"You shameless woman, what are you doing in my son's house? Get out now!" Diana was fuming, yelling at Amelia without holding back.
Amelia barely looked up, "Sorry, this is my house. You two need to leave."
Just then, Chris walked out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of sweet soup the maid had made.
"Why are you here?" He frowned at Leila and Diana, clearly annoyed.
Diana lost it and scolded, "You must be out of your mind. There are so many women for you to pick, and you choose to steal your uncle's girlfriend. You two have always been at odds, and now you're giving him a reason to report you to your grandpa. Do 'you know how much of your assets will be divided because of this? She's a bitch who brings trouble to you. She made you a laughingstock before, and now she's back to seduce you again with another look and identity. Only an idiot like you would fall for her tricks over and over!"
"It has nothing to do with her," Chris said coldly. "You two, get out."
This time, it was he who walked towards her.
"No way!" Diana glared at Amelia and then turned her anger on Chris,"Unless you come with me."
"Mrs. Spencer, let's go. Chris has his own plans," Leila suggested weakly.
Diana turned on her too, "You're useless. You've been with him for years and still haven't gotten pregnant. If you had any sense and capability,he wouldn't be tempted by this shameless tramp."
Upon hearing the blame, Leila's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Chris, silently pleading for him to come back with them.
"I said, you two leave," Chris's patience was wearing thin, his voice icy.
The tension in the living room was palpable.
"I also said, you come with me. What's so great about this bitch? Should I remind you once again? She is your uncle's girlfriend! If your grandfather finds out, you'll be in big trouble!"
Diana was extremely urgent that she wished she could drag her insane son
away herself.
"She was mine first," Chris said coldly. "Lucius was in the wrong. Even if we argue in front of Grandpa, he has no case."
Diana and Leila were startled. Did he just admit that Bella was Amelia?That was even worse.
"You nuts. What did Bella do to you to make you ignore your own mother?" Diana gritted her teeth.
"It's none of your business," Chris said, stepping forward, his strong presence forcing Diana and Leia to back off. Realizing they had no choice,Diana and Leila sheepishly turned and left.
Amelia kept focusing on her work during their argument, her expression indifferent, as if she didn't take them seriously at all.
"Don't mind them," Chris returned and said, sitting down in front of her.his long limbs awkwardly positioned.
Amelia looked up, "I never gave them much thought. Dealing with them is your job."
Chris took a deep breath, his gaze darkening, "You are so heartless.What do you take me for?"
She didn't care about him, which made him deeply unhappy.
Amelia picked up her laptop and placed it on her lap, "A sex partner."
"You..." Chris stood up abruptly, furious,"What do you mean?"
Amelia looked at him with displeasure, "First, Mr. Spencer,can you stop being so emotiona1? I'm tired of your drama. Secondly, we are just in that
kind of relationship. Do you expect me to pay you for the sex? Your services aren't worth much."
Chris's eyes narrowed, a flash of anger crossing them.
But instead of getting angry, he laughed.
"Fine, you're right." He stepped forward and picked her up, "Since we're just sex partners, I don't need to be gentle with you."
"Let go of me!" Amelia frowned.
They had been making love many times in the past few days, and she thought it was enough to get pregnant. She didn't want to do it again.
"No." Chris's eyes flashed with a hint of revenge, "Unless you satisfy me."
Another round of intense sex.
Amelia was so exhausted that she couldn't straighten her back, curled up on the bed to rest.
He, on the other hand, was in a good mood, sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling window in her bedroom, admiring the view.
"Have you figured it out now? What am I to you?" He got up and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling her into his arms.
Amelia was too weak to move, glaring at him angrily.
Chris was amused by her pufferfish-like expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"Say it, what am I to you?" He pinched her chin, a wicked smile on his lips.
Amelia bit his hand hard until she tasted blood, but he didn't get angry.
"You'll pay for biting me," he said after a moment, his gaze deep,"Your punishment is to be my secret lover."
