NovelGoldChapter 99:
Days of pent-up grievances and frustrations erupted, causing Belinda to cry more loudly and desperately.
“Belinda, please stop crying.”
Fred was immediately thrown into a panic.
He attempted to wipe away her tears with a tissue, gently reassuring her, “Don’t be upset, we'll continue our
search. Perhaps we haven't covered enough ground...”
His attempts to console her only made Belinda cry harder.
“Please, stop crying.”
Feeling helpless about how to comfort her, Fred finally drew her face to his chest with a gentle hand.
Belinda bit her lip, feeling an urge to push him away, yet Fred firmly held her hands.
“Belinda, if you cry into my chest, few will hear. Otherwise, | can’t explain what's happening here at this late
hour.”
After a moment's hesitation, she ceased her attempts to push him away.
Resting against Fred's sturdy chest, her emotions began to stabilize, and her sobs slowly faded.
“Okay, okay, stop crying,” Fred murmured, patting her back awkwardly. “I've heard stories about cats that find
their way home. Perhaps... Fluffy might have returned to your previous home. Shall we check at your ex-
husband's place?”
“Is that really possible?” Belinda stopped crying and asked in a muffled voice as she tried to pull away from his

Fred quickly nodded. “Yes... I've heard about such things...”

Before he could finish speaking, a bright light shone on them from afar.
Fred squinted against the light, instinctively lifting his arm to shield Belinda’s eyes. “Who's being so
inconsiderate?”
Belinda also squinted, troubled by the brightness.
As her vision adjusted, she recognized the high beams of a car. It was a familiar black Maserati with a
recognizable license plate.
It was Kristopher.
Simultaneously, the car door swung open.
A pair of feet clad in handmade leather shoes emerged from the vehicle.
Dressed in a meticulously tailored black suit, Kristopher elegantly exited the car, leaned back against the hood,
and lit a cigarette.
“Didn’t you argue back at the hospital, claiming your relationship wasn’t intimate?”
He inhaled deeply from the cigarette and lifted his gaze, his deep eyes coldly scanning the couple in an
embrace. “Belinda Nelson, is this your definition of not being intimate?”
Belinda’s face turned pale.
She hurriedly attempted to free herself from Fred's hold, but Fred tightened his grip.
“Just now, it was indeed not intimate, but after witnessing how you and your new girlfriend slandered her at the
hospital, | couldn't help but feel sorry for her.”
He confronted Kristopher’s cold stare with the boldness typical of young men. “Well, yes, we are close now. Is
that an issue for you?”
Kristopher stared coldly at Belinda.
His silence and formidable presence thickened the air around them.
Initially, Fred thought his response was sharp and impressive.
However, as the quiet stretched on, his words seemed to dissipate ineffectively, like a punch landing in soft
cotton, provoking no visible reaction.
After a brief pause, Kristopher took a slow puff of his cigarette, his eyes briefly scanning Belinda cradled in Fred's
embrace. “Is that your final say?”
Belinda frowned.
She recognized that Fred was exaggerating to defend her, and to deny his statement now would undermine his
pride.
But...
She recalled how Kristopher had aggressively confronted Darren at the hospital because of her.
Fred was fit and strong, and she wasn’t concerned about a physical altercation between him and Kristopher.
Her concern was that Kristopher might resort to other means to cause trouble.
As she hesitated, Fred gave a sharp, mocking laugh. “You know that silence is also a kind of answer, right?
Belinda doesn’t want to say it outright, and why do you keep pressing for the truth?”
Kristopher’s expression darkened noticeably.
“Need someone else to speak for you now?”
He extinguished his cigarette, his gaze remaining cold. “Fine then.”
