Chapter 232:
Fernanda blinked, her eyes twinkling mischievously. “What nonsense? I don’t remember anything like that p>
Bobby paused, stunned for a moment, before breaking into a wide, amused grin.
His eyes lit up, sparkling like stars dancing across the surface of the ocean.
As Bobby turned, he spotted Cristian in the distance, casually leaning against a rock, a faint glow from his cigarette flickering between his fingers.
“Cristian likes you,” Bobby said thoughtfully. “I’ve never seen him care about anyone like this before p>
Fernanda gave a small nod. “I know p>
Cristian’s kindness and thoughtful nature had become a constant, unspoken part of her life.
Just like earlier at dinner, Cristian had asked Bobby for his opinion on the engagement—he had noticed she wanted to refuse and stepped in. If she voiced her refusal first, Robert would be angry with her. With Robert’s petty, narrow-minded ways, he’d make her life harder. So Cristian spoke to Bobby first. With Bobby rejecting it, no matter what she said next, Robert couldn’t blame her.
His protection was subtle but unmistakable, and Fernanda understood it completely.
“Fernanda, I really hope you and Cristian end up together,” Bobby said, his tone sincere. “I believe you two are perfect for each other, at least more so than with me p>
“Is being a good match really enough?” Fernanda asked, smiling softly.
“Not at all,” Bobby said, his voice gentle. “Cristian cares about you, and if you feel the same way, I truly hope you’ll be with him p>
He paused, as if there was something more he wanted to add but couldn’t quite find the words for.
After a moment, his expression turned more resolute. “There’s a lot about him that people don’t know, but I hope you can understand. Cristian’s been through so much. His childhood, especially, was full of hardships that most people couldn’t even begin to fathom. So, I really hope you’ll be there for him, treat him with kindness, and bring a little sweetness to his future p>

Upon hearing Bobby’s words, Fernanda was a bit puzzled.
Cristian faced hardships growing up? That was hard to believe.
As the heir to the esteemed Reed family of Litdence, Cristian should have had a privileged upbringing, surrounded by every luxury imaginable. How could his childhood have been anything but easy?
Bobby caught the look of disbelief on Fernanda’s face and offered a knowing smile. “It seems unbelievable, doesn’t it? Yet it’s the truth. Beneath the surface, things are not always as bright as they seem; there are often hidden dark realities p>
Fernanda nodded in agreement.
Outsiders who barely knew her viewed her as the young lady of the Morgan family, blessed with every advantage. They believed she must be content with what she had.
Yet, the truth was she did not grow up with the Morgan family, and her family ties were anything but warm. It often felt like they weren’t a family at all.
