Chapter 293

One was William, who had been chasing after her, constantly begging for her forgiveness and professing his love.

The other was Thora, whom she had just started to trust and consider a friend.

William and Thora were together now, and they had sent Christina a suggestive photo.

Especially when Christina saw the photo, she was in the middle of giving her daughter Harper some medicine!

If Christina said she didn't believe it at all, that would be a lie.

If William and Thora really had nothing going on, then how was this photo taken?

Unexpectedly, William found her, and he was so anxious, "Christina, let me explain..."

William, in a hurry, quickly tried to explain the situation.

However, Christina didn't want to listen anymore. She took a step back, raised her hands to block him, and resisted William's approach.

"Enough, I don't want to hear any of your explanations."

Christina shook her head, her angry expression disappearing completely, replaced by cold indifference and detachment.

It was as if there had never been any relationship between them.

"You can be with whoever you want; that's your choice. There's really no need to explain so much to me, right?"

Christina said coldly and turned to leave.

She didn't go home but went outside.

She felt a bit frustrated, and unexpectedly, Harper called her!

But it was William's voice.

"Christina, it's really not what you think!"

William was extremely anxious, feeling very disappointed that Christina didn't believe him, but he had no grounds to blame her.

If it weren't for Harper being the link between them, they probably wouldn't have any relationship at all right now.

"Enough, you really don't need to explain to me."

Christina felt a sharp pain in her heart and didn't want to say another word to William. She hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up, she slowly exhaled, trying to ease the sadness and disappointment in her heart.

Although she had long since come to terms with everything and told herself not to care about William anymore.

The painful consequences of the past had already made her not want to have any connection with William.

But deciding is one thing.

To immediately sever all ties with someone she had truly loved for so many years wasn't something that could be done instantly.

She tried hard to push such thoughts out of her mind, but the more she tried, the clearer the sad emotions became in her mind.

And the fleeting pain on Christina's face was caught by Thora from a distance.

Thora's face instantly showed satisfaction, and she felt extremely pleased.

As long as she could see Christina in pain, see William and Christina tormenting each other.

Thora's goal was achieved.

However, when Christina looked up and saw Thora again, Thora walked over with a face full of sadness, feeling guilty and remorseful.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Windsor."

Thora wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, looking as sad as could be.

"I really didn't know these things would happen, and I didn't know it would cause such a big rift between you and Mr. Cavendish."

"If I had known, I shouldn't have stayed here and caused you so much trouble. It's all my fault."

After saying this, Thora didn't wait for Christina to respond and continued with guilt, "Forget it, since Harper has found her biological mother, I should leave to avoid causing you more trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, Thora turned to leave.

But in the next second, Christina grabbed her arm.

Christina looked at Thora with a complex expression, her heart already a tangled mess.

"Wait a minute, Thora."

Christina took a deep breath, looking at Thora's sad and remorseful appearance, and sighed helplessly.

"Harper still needs you right now. If you leave her so abruptly, it will definitely have a bad impact on her."

"And this isn't your fault. I believe you wouldn't do something so excessive. Why don't you stay?"

Although she had some doubts in her heart, feeling that something was off.

But she remembered how Thora had taken care of Harper meticulously during this time, always by her side.

Just for this reason, Christina believed Thora wouldn't do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding.

Moreover, she had been extremely busy these days, with no extra time to spend with Harper.

Having another woman to take care of her daughter, and this person genuinely caring for Harper, wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"But William..."

Thora hesitated, looking very sad, "Christina, I don't know if I should say this, but if I don't, I really feel guilty."

Christina's heart moved slightly, and she said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Thora nodded, as if gathering courage, and said, "It's like this, that day, William grabbed my arm and mumbled your name, Christina."

She seemed to find it hard to say, "I think William mistook me for you, which is why he acted out of line."

"So, please don't be mad at him, okay? It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

Thora's words made Christina feel even worse.

Clearly, it wasn't Thora's fault, but because of Christina, a rift had formed.

"It's not your fault."

Christina forced a smile, her emotions extremely complex.

"Just stay here peacefully. Harper still needs you."

"As for the matter with William, I'll handle it. You don't need to worry."

Thora reluctantly nodded, still looking very apologetic.

In the end, it was Christina who comforted her for a while before Thora left, taking Harper to the toy room next door.

But.

Watching Harper walk away holding another woman's hand without even looking back at her, Christina still felt an uncontrollable pain in her heart.

She slowly exhaled, trying to suppress the indescribable emotions in her heart.

She recalled the photo she had seen earlier and decided not to think about it anymore. The most important thing now was to focus on preparing for the company's matters and find a way to minimize the impact of the negative rumors.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have temporarily handed Harper over to another woman.

She really didn't have the time to take good care of Harper, so she had no choice.

But thinking about Thora's fleeting guilty expression when she questioned her earlier.

Christina still felt a trace of doubt in her heart.

After thinking for a while, she decided to call the housekeeper.
