<h4>Chapter 133: Chapter ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE: Thanks For Birthing Him</h4>


    Christy’s POV


    I couldn’t understand why Harold would suddenly turn against us and it made things moreplicated.


    "How much do you owe in gambling debt?" Kendrick suddenly asked Evan’s father.


    The man looked stunned by the question and stared at him with wide eyes.


    "Remove the cloth" Kendrick instructed one of the guards to remove the gag.


    "I owe quite a lot of money," the man said, his voice barely above a whisper.


    "I asked how much?" Kendrick frowned at him and his wife also red at him.


    "Fool, won’t you speak up?!" she yelled at him angrily.


    "Ten million dors" he said with his head lowered in shame.


    "What... So much?" The woman was shocked by the amount and so was I.


    "They kept increasing it all in the name of interest and there was nothing I could do," the manined. I could easily tell how much he hated the people.


    But it was his fault for going to a gambling den in the first ce. None of these would have happened if he wasn’t greedy for quick wealth.


    "If you are both willing to go abroad and start a new life, I will arrange it. My people will watch you for the first two years, then you will be on your own afterwards" Kendrick said to them.


    They looked shocked and stared at each other in disbelief.


    "I am doing this for Evans, he still cared about the both of you despite all that you put him through.


    I will clear the gambling debt and settle everything else but you need to leave tonight. I will have everything arranged" Kendrick said and got up to leave as soon as he finished speaking.


    "Wait.. Why are you being so good to us? We treated him so badly... Your kindness makes me more regretful" the woman said as fresh tears streamed down her face.


    "I am thanking you for giving birth to him, he was more than a brother to me, so consider my help as a reward for birthing him" Kendrick replied to her before walking out of the room.


    Mason followed him out and I was left alone with the couple.


    "Sometimes pushing those we love away isn’t the best approach. We might think that it’s what is good for them or will keep them safe but we are always wrong.


    Those moments when theye to us are when they need us the most. So the best thing to do is to pull them close, embrace and wash their sorrows and worries away with our love and kindness.


    Just follow Kendrick’s arrangement and I also want to thank you for giving birth to such an amazing man. He is the reason why I am still breathing" I said to them before walking out as well.


    Seeing the both of them crying as I spoke made my heart hurt and I had to rush out of the room to stop myself from breaking down.


    "Have everything arranged"


    "I want them out of the country by 9PM"


    When I stepped out, Kendrick was on the phone, making arrangements for their departure.


    "What are you going to do about Harold?" I asked Mason and Kelvin as Kendrick was busy with the call.


    "We have no idea for now, the issue is the disappearance of Celeste and the others. We aren’t certain that he didn’t have a hand in it and on the other hand, Kendrick’s grandfather has already confessed to doing it" He exined with a frustrated sigh and ran his fingers through his hair.


    "We have a lead regarding the Michaelson family, so we are going to discuss it with some trusted superiors"Kelvin said from the side and I wanted to continue asking about what they found but Kendrick gave me a light pat on the head.


    "I am heading to the military headquarters with Mason and Kelvin, so you have to head back to school.


    You can’te along because there might be a dangerous situations which I can’t control" he exined to me as soon as he ended the call.


    "I know that I can’te with you... I’m not that unreasonable" I said with a slight smile.


    "It’s good that you are very self aware" he chuckled before cing a gentle kiss on my forehead.


    "Enough of the lovey dovey stuff... It’s disgusting to watch" Kelvin’s voice broke our little moment and I red at him.


    "Dexter is here to pick you"Mason informed me and I turned to see Dexter in a ck Lexus outside the vi gate.


    "Stay safe.. You all better return to me in one piece" I said to them before walking out of the gate.


    I pulled the passenger door open and got in with a smile but Dexter’s face was stoic.


    "What’s wrong with you?" I asked him with a yful tone but he just ignored me and started the car before driving off.


    "What’s wrong with you?" I asked him again with a frown but he still didn’t respond.


    Well I can’t force him to talk, so I decided to keep quiet as well and took out my phone to surf Instagram.


    "Isn’t he too old for you?" he suddenly asked and I frowned as I didn’t get his question at first.


    "We don’t even have up to a ten years age gap, why do you think he is old? He is just five years older than you!" I asked him angrily when I finally understood.


    I felt really annoyed as this whole age gap thing has be really annoying and Kendrick seems to find it quite sensitive.


    "You need someone young, that can do things with you and show you what you are really missing, you ... " He added with a serious expression.


    "I am very okay in my rtionship, thank you" I interrupted him angrily.


    He suddenly stopped the car a few buildings away from the apartment building.


    "What’s wrong?" I asked him with a frown but he just kept staring at me.


    "What if there is someone better, that truly understands and loves you" he suddenly asked and my mind immediately shed to what Kendrick said about him having feelings for me.


    But I shook my head in denial.


    Before I could say anything else, his face erged in front of me and I felt a cool sensation on my lips.
