Gossip Girl Reborn

Chapter 34 The Tears Of A Man 

With these thoughts in mind, Christopher’s gaze grew resolute. 

eemingly perceiving a shift in his gaze, Luna also quieted down. 

What did you want to say?”. 

Christopher spoke in a deep voice. “Thank you.” 

ama was taken aback, probably because she didn’t expect the first thing Christopher said to be that.. 

Christopher said, “Thank you for going to find me back then and for carrying me out. You saved my life. Thank you so much!” 

ama hesitated for a moment, her resistance weakening “I accept your gratitude, but truthfully, I don’t ecall that part of my past, so I don’t feel like you owe me anything. It’s all water under the bridge now.” 

Tut I don’t want it to be water under the bridge! 

you isn’t 

Christopher felt a pang of pain in his heart, yet he still said, “You saved my life, so a simple thank enough! If my investment in your project makes you uncomfortable, please consider it as my way of repaying the life–saving favor, and accept it without any burden.” 

Luna hesitated for a moment. In reality, she couldn’t possibly let her personal feelings hinder the progress of the project. Even if she might feel upset, she would find a way to deal with it. However, after hearing Christopher’s words, she found it easier to accept. 

In the end, she nodded in agreement. It was only fair and reasonable that she would get repaid for saving his life. 

Christopher was relieved. “I also want to tell you I’m sorry.” 

Luna’s expression shifted subtly as she said with slight repulse, “You haven’t wronged me in any way. From your perspective, you didn’t do anything wrong.” 

A flash of sorrow crossed Christopher’s eyes. “I know my apologies mean little to you, especially after the harm I’ve caused you when I was deceived. I don’t have the right to ask for your forgiveness. What I truly regret is forgetting the promise I made when we were young. I failed to stand by your side steadfastly, to believe in you. I broke my word. I’m sorry, Luna.” 

An inexplicable emotion flickered in Luna’s eyes. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when Christopher said, “Lastly, I want to tell you that I like you. Could you give me another chance? This time, I promise not to break my word.” 

Luna stiffened all over, taking a deep breath as she turned to look at Christopher only to meet a pair of eyes brimming with tears. 

Luna faltered. As far as she could remember, she had never seen Christopher cry, not once. 

“N–No, you don’t.” Luna’s voice was initially shaky, but as she continued speaking, it gradually grew steady and calm. “You only think you like me because you’ve realized you’ve been deceived, I understand you’re filled with regret now, but don’t deceive yourself in an attempt to make up for it, let alone get me

involved.” 

“No, I’m serious…” Christopher panicked. 

Luna admitted that Christopher’s confession overwhelmed her. It was something she had fantasized about a long time ago, but not anymore. 

Luna said with a faint smile. “So what if you’re serious? I’ll give you my response right now. I don’t love you anymore, so I won’t give you another chance. Christopher, you’re exceptional and charming, so you’ll find a better partner. I’ll send my blessings from across the ocean on account of our relationship as childhood friends. I mean it. Stop clinging to this. I’ve made peace, so you should let it go too.” 

Watching Luna turn and close the door behind her, Christopher stood disheartened at the doorway, motionless. 

When Isabella closed the door, she turned around to find that everyone’s expressions were far from pleasant. 

Their reactions were understandable. They were anticipating a good show but ended up witnessing a disheartening scene. 

“I’ve never seen Christopher like this before. This is bad. It’s likely going to take him a long time to recover.” Hayden began to worry about the future of their agency. 

“That’s just how Luna is,” a female researcher said. “Once she makes up her mind, she won’t change it.” 

Everyone sighed, awkwardly waiting for a moment. Once they confirmed that Christopher had returned to his room, they all came out. 

The female researcher shared a room with Luna. As she swiped her card to open the door, she immediately noticed Luna, who was sitting in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, lost in thought. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Actually, you still have feelings for him, don’t you? After all these years of being in love with him, you can’t possibly stop loving him altogether,” she said. 

Luna turned around and smiled, without uttering a word. 

The female researcher quickly waved her hands, brushing off the matter. “Pretend I didn’t say anything. A wonderful girl like you is bound to have a bunch of handsome guys chasing after you once you go abroad. Sooner or later, you’ll meet someone you like more than you do Christopher.” 

Meanwhile, Hayden was planning to check on Christopher. Isabella wanted to bring Thalia back for some rest but was stopped by Hayden, who awkwardly said, “Ms. Jeannet, he’s family, isn’t he? Aren’t you going to check on him? I’ve never dealt with a heartbroken Christopher before. Just the thought of it scares me. Would he drown his sorrows in alcohol or take drugs? Or worse… would he do something stupid?” 

“You and your imagination!” Isabella exclaimed. I never expected Hayden to be so paranoid. 

After some thought, Isabella still decided to check on him. Oh well, He’s a regular client after all. I’ll check on him and maybe call him an ambulance if he really does something stupid. 

Hayden had the key card. He knocked on the door first, but when there was no response, he used the card. to enter directly.

It was only after Hayden entered and confirmed everything was fine that Isabella stepped in. 

Upon entering, she saw Christopher engrossed in his phone, incessantly tapping on something. 

“Chris, what are you…” Hayden cautiously approached, only to see Christopher engrossed in studying the research project of Luna’s team, along with details about their destination country and the research institute. 

Isabella arched her brow. Whoa. Looks like he hasn’t given up yet. 

Unfazed by the noise around him, Christopher seemed to hold his breath as he frantically searched for various pieces of information. His expression remained cool and composed as if nothing could possibly affect his resolve. 

Isabella sighed inwardly. Too bad Luna seems to have made up her mind. Unless he resorts to some drastic measures, there’s no hope. Indeed, it’s always too late for regrets in this world. Some chances are lost forever if you miss it one 

time. 

Christopher froze as beads of tears fell from his eyes, blurring the screen of his mobile phone. 

Hayden’s eyes widened in shock as he turned around to leave. “Since you’re okay, we’ll be leaving now.” I don’t want to see my boss breaking down in tears! 

Isabella was taken aback. Everything was fine just a moment ago! Why did he suddenly cry? My goodness. The sight of a man like him crying is such a shocking sight indeed! 

When Hayden pushed Isabella out the door, they could even hear Christopher’s sobs. 

The two exchanged glances at the door, with Hayden awkwardly saying. “This floor is full. I’m staying on, the one below. If anything happens up here at night, I’d appreciate it if you could handle it.” 

At a moment like this, Isabella naturally nodded in agreement. 

Just as she was about to turn in for the night after retiring to her room, she received a message from Alexander, asking: Have you reached your hotel room? 

Isabella: Yes. Your brother is also staying here. He came to pursue Luna, but he was brutally rejected. Typically, Isabella wouldn’t chat much with Alexander. However, today’s juicy gossip was too much to keep to herself. 

Alexander: Oh. He probably wouldn’t give up. 

Isabella: But he cried! 

She was Alexander typing, but in the end he didn’t send anything. 

Sensing the resounding silence from Alexander’s end, Isabella was amused. 

Isabella: Hayden is worried about him, so he asked me to keep an eye out for any unusual activity at night. 

Alexander: No need to worry about him. He’ll be fine. You should get some rest. 

He’s his brother all right. Isabella laughed heartily then promptly transferred today’s earnings to Alexander. After that, she washed up and went to sleep.

However, she was roused by Thalia’s nudging. 

“Ms. Jeannet, I hear some noise next door.” 

Seeing the wide–awake Thalia, Isabella envied her youth. It’s so good to be young and be able to stay up all night. The noise of constant knocking on the door of the neighboring room was so soft that Isabella could only hear it when she was awake, 

Isabella was puzzled. It’s the middle of the night. It can’t be Hayden again, right? 

Isabella, bundled in her cloak and yawning, was just about to open the door when she heard the sound of the neighboring door opening at the same time, followed by a voice. “Chris, I miss you so much!” 

Isabella gave a start and was no longer sleepy, knowing that there was only one person who would address Christopher in such a manner. 

Her gossip radar kicked in, prompting her to pause in her tracks. Instead of opening the door, she took a sneak peek through the crack.. 

As expected, Bianca was standing at the door, and Christopher, who opened the door, was clearly taken. aback/ 

“What are you doing here? Please leave!” Christopher lowered his voice and warned. The last thing he wanted was for Luna to see him together with Bianca under such terrible circumstances. 

Isabella couldn’t see what was happening. All she could hear was Bianca’s sobbing. “Chris, I know I’ve deceived you about years! You won’t just stop loving me, right?” 

many things, but my feelings for you are gene. We’ve been in love for so many 

Her question had undeniably hit Christopher’s sore spot. 

Luna doubted him, and now Bianca refused to believe his words, too. What do I do to prove myself? 

Christopher took a deep breath. “Just seeing you now makes me sick, let alone love you. You’ve deceived. me for so long, and all I feel for you is disgust. If you don’t leave, I’m calling security.” 

Bianca fell silent. “Have you been drinking?” 

“This has nothing to do with you!” 

“Do you not love me but love Luna instead?” 

“Yes!” 

Suddenly, Bianca yanked off the overcoat she had on, revealing a nearly transparent nightgown that hugged her graceful curves. 

“Let me be Luna’s stand–in then. All I need is one night with you, Christopher. Please, hold me.” 

Isabella had to admit that Bianca was truly adept at imitating Luna. In a split second, she could even mimic Luna’s tone to perfection. 

Her pretense as Luna instantaneously ignited the fury within Christopher.

When Bianca lunged toward him, intending to embrace him, he promptly kicked her aside. “Get lost!” 

“Ah!” Bianca yelped in pain. 

Christopher rarely hit women, unless he reached the end of his patience. 

This time, he was clearly backed into a corner. 

A commotion was inevitably caused under such circumstances. 

In an instant, two doors of the adjacent rooms where the researchers were staying swung open. However, they quickly recoiled and retreated into their rooms, seemingly witnessing something shocking. 

The female researcher was the one who opened the door to Luna’s room. The sight of Bianca, who was practically half–naked, startled Luna. She froze in shock and was about to close the door immediately. 

“Luna, why are you insistent on stealing Chris from me? You have no shame!” Bianca immediately burst into tears. “Are you planning to seduce Christopher and climb into his bed tonight?” 

Livid, Christopher was about to step forward when a cry of surprise echoed in his mind. 

The noise which only he could hear frightened him, and he halted in his steps. Turning around, he saw Isabella coming out from her hiding spot, staring at him and Bianca in surprise. 

Just as he was wondering what she was doing, he heard her inner thoughts. 

Oh my goodness! Bianca has STD! She caught it from Thomas Don’t tell me she infected Christopher too after having been with him so long! Oh, no! How am I supposed to bring this up? Thankfully, Luna didn’t… 

Christopher was so shocked that he didn’t even register that those were only Isabella’s inner thoughts, and. she didn’t say it out loud. Looking at Isabella’s doubtful gaze and then at Luna who was across from them, he blurted out, “I’ve never touched her! D*mn it, I’m still a virgin!” 

In an instant, the hallway fell into absolute silence.
