Chapter 537
Although Chris didn't say who the young man was, Esther knew.
That young man was Chris himself-her own husband-who had such a tragic past.
Once a young master from a wealthy family, he had fallen from grace overnight, ruthlessly driven out of
his home by his own father.
In the end, even his own mother had died in his arms.
Such pain was heartbreaking and beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Suddenly, Esther felt as if her heart was being eaten away by insects.
Her heartache wasn't for herself, but for Chris.novelbin
"I'm sorry, dear! I shouldn't have brought up your sad past. It's all my fault," Esther tightly hugged Chris,
her tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
Chris reached out and wiped away the tears from Esther's eyes, smiling, "Silly girl! It's not your fault! I
told you that story because I wanted to let you know that the past is painful for me, and I won't miss it
for anyone or anything. Only you and Hope are the most important to me in this life! Even if I die, I
won't betray you or our family."
"Dear!" Before Chris could finish, Esther threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Although
Chris spoke calmly, she knew his heart was in more pain than anyone else's.
Anyone driven out of their home by their own father would probably be in unbearable pain.
Esther suddenly felt incredibly cruel for reopening Chris's wounds and causing his healing injuries to
bleed afresh.
At that moment, she was overwhelmed with guilt.
Chris also tightly embraced Esther, as if trying to merge her body with his own.
A trace of pain appeared on his face.
Although he had tried to bury these sad memories deep within him over the years, he still had
nightmares when he awoke at midnight.
In his nightmares, his mother, as thin as a skeleton, would stroke his face and tell him not to hate his
biological father, who had his own unspeakable difficulties.
This silly, kind-hearted woman-despite being driven away by the man she loved her entire life and even
defending him on her deathbed-did she not know that her tragic end was all because of that heartless,
unfaithful man?
Every time Chris thought of this, his hatred for Todd Shelby deepened.
He longed to kill Todd Shelby.
If it weren't for his mother's dying words forbidding him from seeking revenge, perhaps Chris would
have stormed into Middleton and attacked the Shelby family long ago.
Suddenly, Chris's phone rang, interrupting his painful thoughts. "Hello!"
"Master, there's someone claiming to be from the Middleton Alliance here to see you!" James Mester
reported over the phone.
"Middleton Alliance?" Chris frowned.
"What kind of riffraff? Tell him I don't have time to see him!" Chris was about to hang up the phone.
Seeing Chris about to end the call, James Mester hurriedly said, "Master, I'm afraid that's not an option!
This person from the Middleton Alliance is incredibly powerful and has already taken down all the
guards at Mester Manor…"
"Get lost!" Before James Mester could finish, a rough voice came through the phone.
