When Christina remained silent, Sabrina Sabir urged her, “Did you hear?”
Like a dead person.
Sabrina despised this but didn't show it.
Christina managed a faint smile, “Okay, mom.”
Sabrina was very pleased, “That's right! My silly daughter, if you had been obedient like this earlier, things wouldn't have escalated with mom and dad like this.”
There wasn't much expression on Christina's face.
A moment later, Sabrina looked at Edward Armstrong and continued, “Christina is going abroad soon, go buy some marinated dishes, let's have a good gathering tonight.”
“Okay.” Edward nodded, “I'll go now.”
Christina stood up, “I'll go with you.”
Fearing that Christina might take the chance to run away, Edward was just about to refuse when Sabrina said, “Both of you go together, there won't be many more chances like this in the future.”
Sabrina was not at all afraid that Christina would run away.
Because she had nowhere to run.
Sabrina had locked away Christina's cell phone and identification documents.
When his wife spoke, Edward didn't say much else, but he kept a close eye on Christina throughout the journey, afraid that she might run away.
Soon, they arrived at the market.
While they were buying vegetables, they happened to meet Christina's colleague and line leader at their factory, Barry.
Barry had always liked Christina.
Seeing Christina, he was excited, “Christina!”
“Team leader Barry.” Christina looked up.
Barry's gaze fell on Edward beside her, “Is this uncle?”
Hearing this, Christina nodded, “He's my dad.”
Barry immediately bowed to Edward, “Hello uncle, I'm Barry, twenty-eight years old. My family is also from Southern City, and we have an apartment there in the city.”
Barry had long harbored the wish to return home to start something of his own.
But he couldn't leave Christina behind and wanted to wait for her to go back with him. But suddenly, Christina resigned. Barry had lost all hope, and meeting her at the market today made him very excited.
Edward was somewhat perplexed by this young man's unusual approach during their first meeting, “Why mention all this now?”
Barry looked at Christina and continued, “Where did you go after resigning?”
Christina answered, “I'm getting married.”
The answer was like a bolt from the blue.
Married?
Barry suddenly didn't even know how to breathe, “Who are you marrying?”
“A person you wouldn't know,” Christina continued, “After the wedding, we will settle abroad.”
She made everything sound so wonderful, her face wearing a happy smile.
Barry was dumbfounded, all energy seemed to have been drained from him.
This was the woman he had liked for several years.
How could he remain indifferent?
“You, you're lying to me, right?” Barry forced a strained smile.
Edward also noticed Barry's feelings, and continued, “Young man, our Christina is not deceiving you. She really is about to get married, and my future son-in-law is from Capital City, a very amazing person. After the wedding, he will take Christina abroad.”
Once he finished speaking, Edward pulled Christina away.
Christina looked back at Barry, smiling, “Team leader Barry, I wish you happiness.”
Barry stood in place, unable to recover for a long time.
How…
How could things suddenly turn out like this.
Barry didn't even notice that Christina's eyes were very red.
After this incident, Edward also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Christina had resigned herself to her fate.
Once resigned, there would be no more futile struggles.
Thus, there was no need to worry about Christina running away anymore.
The next day, Peter Stone delivered the wedding dress on time.
A bright red bridal gown.
Christina touched the soft fabric, thinking, must this be very expensive?
Having money is good.
The wedding dress was delivered by Peter's driver.
The driver looked at Christina, “Miss Armstrong, Mr. Zach asked me to tell you that you don't need to do anything from now on. If you need anything, just call him directly. Here is Mr. Zach's business card.”
Sabrina immediately grabbed the business card, her face beaming with a smile, “Thank you, young man.”
“You're welcome,” the driver maintained a polite smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, I'll be leaving now.”
As the driver turned to leave, his gaze swept past Christina, showing a hint of sympathy.
A young woman in the prime of her life, why couldn't she think things through?
