My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 29

At that moment, Christopher’s phone rang. Since Noah was close, there was no need for secrecy, so he answered it.

“Chris, I heard the company is trying to secure exclusive distribution rights for “LOVE. Do you want me to come back and assist you?” A soft female voice came from the other end of the line.

“Don’t worry. I can manage things here. Focus on your studies and return to the company to help me when you’re ready,” Christopher replied.

Noah was well aware that the only person who could make Christopher sound so gentle was a girl named Ivy Ab bott.

In Christopher’s heart, Kiara and Ivy held different positions.

Kiara was his passive choice, a deliberate way to defy Maxwell and annoy Katherine.

Ivy, on the other hand, was a benefactor and family to him.

However, Ivy had not fully realized her place and still believed that she was the ones Christopher deeply cared about.

After Christopher hung up the phone, Noah felt it was necessary to offer his friend a for this Ivy? Is it sibling love or

friendly reminder. ‘Chris, what are your true feel as necessary i

romantic love?”

Christopher fell into deep thought, and his mind drifted back to when he was eight years old.

During that time, the Levine family had close ties with the Larson family in Dellmoor, and he visited them with his

parents.

All he remembered was a lively gathering and his escape from the adults to play hide and seek with the other children.

Suddenly, a fire broke out for an unknown reason.

He was terrified, in an unfamiliar place, and helpless.

Amidst the chaos and the cries of those around, he faintly heard his mother’s voice

from outside, but he couldn’t pinpoint the direction. All he did was cry at the top of his lungs.

Then, a pair of chubby little hands grasped him and guided him through a secret passage out of the room.

The girl was focused on finding a way out and didn’t even spare him a glance..

During their escape, Christopher felt an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.

However, as they reached the exit, he saw two individuals waiting there as if they anticipated someone would emerge from this hidden passage.

They were dressed in black and had their faces concealed. They knocked the girl unconscious and took her away, completely disregarding him.

Much later, rescue workers found him.

This incident left a traumatic mark on his childhood.

Fortunately, the girl remained a ray of sunshine in his heart, preventing him from sinking into depression.

Since then, he had always striven to discover the whereabouts of that girl, although nob*dy could identify her based on his fragmented descriptions.

However, everyone knew that Christopher from the Levine family in Norham had been searching for his savior for years, and later, Ivy appeared in his life.

Ivy was indeed one of the children at the scene during that incident.

She had also been trapped but couldn’t follow them through the secret passage as it had already closed.

Thankfully, firefighters rescued her in time, and the secret passage became her unique card to win Christopher’s affection.

The Ab bot family, once prestigious in Dellmoor, had been invited by the Larson family that day.

However, due to mismanagement, their family had declined over time.

Ivy later revealed her secret about the hidden passage, reuniting with Christopher.

In gratitude for the girl who had saved Christopher’s life, the Levine family stepped in to help the Ab bot family regain their status.

Ivy was beautiful and sensible, always obediently following Christopher’s commands.

He had cherished her as if she were his sister, but Christopher always felt something

was amiss.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ivy was seen as unique, and many believed Christopher would marry her.

However, the unexpected arrival of Katherine and Kiara surprised everyone.

Responding to his friend’s well-intentioned reminder, Christopher raised his glass, downed it in one gulp, and stated, “Don’t worry, I can distinguish between gratitude and love. My previous relationship has served as a warning. I’d prefer quality over quantity.”

With those words, he walked away, leaving Noah behind.

Noah, somewhat baffled, picked up his coat and hurried to catch up with Christopher, lamenting, “You’re the one who invited me out, yet you have this habit of coming and going like a phantom. When are you going to change?”

As he left, Noah cast a glance back at the bar. To his surprise, Daniel was still there, now slumped on the counter.

Noah, being a nosy person, left Gregory’s number with the waiter to call for Gregory to pick Daniel up.

Daniel was the man Noah’s sister had set her sights on, and with Daniel’s handsome and charming demeanor, he posed a potential problem if he were to be touched by a wealthy woman.

It was best to exercise caution until the situation was resolved.

Soon, Gregory sent a driver to pick up Daniel, thinking he was on a date with Marissa. However, he was surprised to find Daniel alone at the bar, heavily intoxicated and in a terrible state.

Gregory’s face darkened as he witnessed the driver struggling to assist the inebriated Daniel.

Xander Group was already not as strong as it once was, and if the Coleman family were to see Daniel in this dissolute state, the chances of the marriage of convenience would significantly decrease.

With a wave of his hand, Gregory motioned for the driver to take Daniel to his room.

Inside the living room, Gregory paced back and forth, causing Lucia to become uneasy.

“Don’t worry too much. He’s already in such a state. Get some rest now, and we can discuss further tomorrow,” Lucia said.

To her surprise, Gregory’s tone took on an aggressive edge. “You don’t understand. This is a critical moment. Every step is crucial. We’re on the brink of success. I can’t let this boy ruin everything.”

Saying that, Gregory hurried into Daniel’s room, ready to give his son a stern

reprimand. However, when he entered, he found Daniel lying on the bed, unconscious,

and murmuring something.

As Gregory approached, he heard Daniel repeatedly calling out “Mom.”

For a brief moment, Gregory felt a twinge of discomfort. Perhaps no man could endure being forced into a loveless marriage.

However, it was only a fleeting

sensation

He tucked his son in and left the room.

“Katherine… Katherine…”

Afterward, Daniel continued to call out Katherine’s name.

Meanwhile, at the Larson residence in Dellmoor, Katherine was with Olivia in the nursery, sorting through their day’s shopping finds.

As she looked at the adorable baby clothes, Kimberly’s face was filled with joy.

But soon, a sense of uncase soon crept into her heart.

“Ollie, do you think it might raise some flags now that Jaxon knows I’m in Dellmoor? Is it safe for me to be here?” Kimberly fired several questions at once.

Olivia carefully placed the tiny shoes she was holding into the respective drawers and responded calmly, “You’re always so brave, but why are you afraid of Christopher? Even if he discovers that you’re Kimberly, what can he do? Even if he finds out you’re carrying his child, he can’t take it away from you.”

“Don’t worry. You’re Kimberly now, and there are plenty of people to protect you. With your current capabilities, you can handle things just fine. You’re just getting worked up for no reason,” Olivia reassured her.
