Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1069

Whether Christopher was willing to help her or not, it no longer mattered. He didn't owe Sydney anything and wasn't obliged to help her. It was good enough that he was willing to hear her out.

Sydney looked up and said, "I'm not expecting you to help me by telling you all these. You can just hear me out. I'll figure a way out myself."

"How are you going to do that?" Christopher asked.

Sydney pondered for a long time, and her eyes grew sharp. "If he were to force me to a corner, I'd die along with him. I'll kill him and go to jail, at most. Or I could kill myself after killing him. Whatever it is…"

Before she could complete her sentence, Christopher covered her mouth with his hand. His brows furrowed, he said solemnly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sydney broke down and hugged him.

"I really have considered dying with him. I thought of killing him in his sleep, but I hated the thought of having to sacrifice myself to get rid of him. Why? I refuse to accept that!"

"Syd," Christopher called out to her.

Sydney was very agitated. "He's your brother-in-law. Will you blame me if I were to kill him? Will your sister blame me?"

Christopher patted her back gently. "Don't be silly. I won't let you do something like that."

He had never seen Sydney so weak and vulnerable. Clearly, Geoffrey spelled huge trouble for her.

Christopher let Sydney go and gently wiped the tears from her face. "I won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry. Leave Geoffrey Carter to me."

Sydney looked up at him with glistening eyes. "You're willing to help me?"

Christopher nodded. "Yes. My sister has already suffered with him. I don't want that to happen to you, too."

Sydney wiped the tears from her face and drew near to kiss him, but Christopher put his fingers on her lips.

Night had fallen and the tree branches swayed in the wind.

Christopher sent Sydney to the car and instructed the driver to bring her home.

He hugged her before saying goodbye. "Do you really not want me to send you back?"

"No, thank you. The driver can send me back. Go to bed early," Sydney said.

If Christopher sent her back, he would return home very late at night. He undoubtedly had many things to do tomorrow, and she wanted him to have an early night. She didn't want to stay the night for fear of the temptation.

Christopher watched on as she sped off in the car, only turning back when the car disappeared in the distance.

After reaching home, he dialed a number on his phone. "It's time to dig through Geoffrey's accounts."
