StarNovelChapter 1071:
Carrie, on the other hand, had been innocent throughout. Even when he had been cold or cruel, she had never
retaliated. When she encountered him during one of his episodes, she didn’t run—she stayed, comforted him,
and soothed the sharpest edges.
It was only now, through contrast, that he understood who had truly cared for him. Even without memories of
their past, her compassion in recent days said enough. They weren't lovers anymore, just former partners
navigating complicated terrain—but she had treated him better than anyone else around him.
That realization stung, especially when he pictured Daxton—the kind of man who would cross every line—getting
close to Carrie.
Kristopher never truly believed Daxton had feelings for Carrie. It wasn’t love—it was ownership Daxton was after,
the kind of possessiveness that turned people into trophies.
What had becclear over the past few days was that Carrie wasn’t easily swayed. She held tight to her
beliefs and didn’t bend for anyone. Blind obedience wasn’t in her nature.

That realization hit Kristopher like a jolt, making him freeze in place. Affection, if it existed between Carrie and

proven false, and if he felt nothing for her, why would he have ever slept with her?
When he dug through the fragments of his memory, it was always Carrie who surfaced—her voice, her face, her
presence.
A fantasy couldn't have created that kind of familiarity. That level of intimacy didn’t cfrom nowhere. They
must've spent countless nights together like that. Every touch, every kiss had carried an echo, as if they'd done
it a hundred times before.
But if he had never been with Aliza, then how could she be pregnant?
And on the other hand, Carrie wasn’t acting like a woman hiding a pregnancy from the child's real father. She
was steady, calm, never once flinching around him. Something wasn’t adding up.
Outside the Morrison family’s villa, Daxton accompanied Carrie all the way to the entrance but didn’t push
beyond the door. Rather than invite himself in, he stood quietly by the entrance, smoothing down a few stray
strands of her hair while gently urging her to get srest. Just as he leaned forward, Carrie shifted ever so
