Chapter 54 Remember What You Promised Me

He was smoking a cigarette when someone hit him hard from behind. He turned around and found that it was

Zofia, the daughter of his second sister, Layla.

“Uncle Chris, you’re secretly smoking here again. I’ll snitch on you to Uncle Kendrick later!” Zofia was five years old

and had always been quick-witted. Even Alex, who was three years older than her, couldn’t necessarily outdo her in

this aspect.

Christopher pinched her chubby cheek and scoffed. “Are you the reincarnation of a crybaby? You want to snitch

about everything.”

Zofia made a face at him. She stared at Christopher for a moment, studying him. “Uncle Chris, did you cause some

trouble again?”

Christopher raised his eyebrows. “You tell me. Who is the one who loves to cause trouble? Hmm?”

Zofia asked, “Then why do you look so preoccupied?”

Christopher looked down and glanced at her. “You know the word ‘preoccupied’?”

“Don’t look down on me. I know a lot of words. Daddy forced me to study every day. I’m so annoyed,” Zofia

retorted.

Jared was a university professor and had always been very strict with his daughter’s education. Zofial learned to

count right after she learned to speak.

Christopher squatted down and stared at Zofia.

His gaze was making Zofia’s skin crawl. “Uncle Chris, why are you staring at me like this? I’m scared…”

Seeing that Zofia was about to run away, Christopher hurriedly pulled her back and said, “Stand still. If you move,

I’ll tell your Uncle Kendrick that you broke the vase in his study!”

Zofia endured the urge to roll her eyes. “You’re the one who broke it, Uncle Chris. Yet you have the cheek to blame

it on me.”

However, Zofia obediently stood there, unmoving.

Christopher stared at Zofia, looking her up, down, left, and right. After having a good look, he still felt something

was wrong. “If Yuliana gives birth to a child like Zofia or Alex… my head would hurt,” he thought. The guests slowly

left one after another. Even Layla and Jared left with their daughters.

The Solace residence, which was originally lively, became peaceful once again.

Winnie took Annabelle’s hand and said, “Annabelle, it’s gotten pretty late. You and Chris should stay at the Solace

residence for the night!”

Annabelle didn’t refuse and instinctively looked at Christopher.

They locked eyes with each other. Christopher smiled and said, “Mom, I have an appointment with someone to talk

about something, so I have to go now!”

After a pause, he pulled on his eye and said cheekily, “You also know that Annabelle and I are getting married next

month. I have to make full use of my remaining single life and enjoy myself, right?”

Winnie was supposed to get angry at his words but let out an exasperated laugh. She poked his forehead and said.

“You’re always fooling around. I’m warning you. You can play to your heart’s content, but don’t cause any trouble.

Otherwise, I’ll skin you.”

With that, she looked at Annabelle again and said, “Since Chris has an appointment, why don’t you stay at the

Solace residence tonight?”

“Aunt Winnie, I have something to attend to. There are a few paintings I have to finish before the wedding. I want to

spend a few months on honeymoon with Christopher after we get married!” Annabelle replied with a smile.

When Winnie heard that, she broke into a wide grin. “All right, I know all of you are busy. Leave now and stop

bothering me.”

As the two of them couldn’t drive after consuming alcohol, Winnie had Joyce tell the driver to give them a lift. Ever

since they left the Solace residence, Christopher rested in the car silently with his eyes closed.

Meanwhile, Annabelle also quietly looked out the window and didn’t take the initiative to say anything.

When they arrived in the city, Christopher said, “Julio, please send Annabelle back to Grand Island Mansion first.”

Julio glanced at them via the rearview mirror. They hadn’t spoken since they got in the car, and the atmosphere in

the car was obviously abnormal. Although he had noticed everything, he wasn’t planning to butt in at the moment.

He acknowledged Christopher’s instructions and drove in the direction of Grand Island Mansion.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Grand Island Mansion.

Annabelle looked at Christopher. After a night of silence, she finally said something. “Christopher, remember what

you promised me.”

After that, she pushed open the door, got out of the car, and entered the mansion.

The lights in the car were not on. The interior was illuminated only by the street lights outside the window. The light

rays were cut by branches and shone into the car, making his face appear bright yet dark.

Julio coughed lightly and asked, “Mr. Solace, where are you going?”

Christopher was silent for a while before replying, “Drive me back to Oceanview Apartment.”
