StartNovelChapter 1029: After sending the last message, Carrie closed Kristopher's chat window without a second thought.
She turned her attention to Daxton's message. It read: "I'll pick you up for a movie tomorrow." Unlike the indifference she showed Kristopher, Carrie's tone with Daxton was noticeably different. She recorded a quick voice reply. "Sorry, I can't go to the movies tomorrow." She briefly explained the situation with Camille and Albin, not bothering to hide the fact that Kristopher might also be present.
As always, Daxton was patient and kind. "Do you wantto cwith you?" he asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarrie felt a wave of warmth at his thoughtfulness-but yet, somewhere deep inside, an unfamiliar sense of distance stirred.
She shook it off and answered simply, "You can pickup at home." "Alright," Daxton replied. He dropped a few reminders before ending the chat.
The next day.
Worry for Camille pulled Carrie from sleep earlier than usual. Before even getting out of bed, she grabbed her phone and opened WhatsApp.
Kristopher's chat appeared first, the red badge showing two unread messages. Below it, Camille's chat was filled with more than a dozen notifications. Carrie instinctively opened Camille's chat first.
"Albin's safe. We'll be back today." Camille had poured out her emotions in the long string of messages, telling how much Albin had endured-how he had traveled all the way to Zimeron simply because of something she'd said without thinking.
By the tCarrie finished reading, the story was clear. Albin had risked everything for Camille, and in the end, it had been worth it. Camille could no longer deny her feelings for him.
Carrie's impression of Albin shifted completely. She had always thought him somewhat unreliable, but now, she saw him for what he truly was—steadfast and devoted.

Just as she exited WhatsApp, Carrie remembered Kristopher's messages. She hesitated briefly, then opened his chat.
"They left this morning. It's a fifteen-hour flight, so they'll arrive tonight. You can cover after dinner." Attached beneath the text was a location pin.
Carrie glanced at it without replying. She switched off her phone andm headed to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for breakfast. Meanwhile, across town, Kristopher had received word of their return at four in the morning, before he had gone to bed.
Setting an alarm for seven, he waited to message Carrie, not wanting to disturb her rest with a message in the middle of the night.
It wasn't that he cared about her specifically, he told himself. Anym Ω decent person would show concern for a pregnant woman-nothing more.
