NovelOnlineChapter 913 Chapter 913: Daxton lowered his gaze slightly before turning back to Kristopher. "I heard you lost your memory. Whether that's true or not, letremind you of something." His lips curled slightly, though his eyes remained cold. "Carrie and I met in college. I knew her before you did. My story with her has nothing to do with you." He paused, then added pointedly, "You really shouldn't think so highly of yourself." Kristopher's expression darkened. "You two aren't suitable for each other." Daxton smirked. "Someone who isn't suitable for you might be perfect for someone else. There's no need to project your personal standards onto others," Daxton continued, his voice carrying a hint of mockery. "That kind of thinking is rather narrow-minded. If that's truly how you see the world, I have to question the legitimacy of all your so-called achievements." Kristopher didn't react to the taunt.
Seeing the smug look on Daxton's face, Kristopher spoke without thinking. "Do you even know that she..." He hesitated, his tone hardening. "That she's been intimate with other men?" The words nearly slipped out-his accusation that Carrie had gone to a hotel with two men. But at the last second, something in him pulled back, and he swallowed them down. He couldn't say it.

He couldn't explain why. He just knew that, despite himself, despite his resentment, he didn't want her to be hurt.

But the words he had spoken had already done their damage.

For a split second, guilt flickered in his expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKristopher's words struck Carrie like a blade—sharp and unrelenting. No matter how much thad passed, no matter how many wounds had healed, spain never truly faded.
But before the ache could consher, Daxton's hand tightened around hers, grounding her. His warmth, steady and unwavering, gave her the strength she needed to face Kristopher without faltering. For the first time, she felt grateful that she had accepted Daxton. If nothing else, it gave her the confidence to stand tall in front of the man who had once shattered her heart.
Daxton let go of her hand and instead wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. His grip was both protective and possessive, leaving no room for doubt. His voice was calm, but each word was laced with quiet authority as he addressed Kristopher. "You cut ties with the Garcia family. You divorced Carrie. Adults should take responsibility for their own choices. You can't expect to have it both ways."
Then, he glanced over at Aliza, who still stood in the distance, waiting. His lips curled into a smirk. "Mr. Norris, you left your fiancée standing on the side of the road to cand meddle in the affairs of two people who no longer have anything to do with you. Don't you find that... strange? If you have tto spare, you should spend it on the person beside you, focus on your own marriage."
