My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore
Chapter 135

Chapter 13 5

Ivy had always been smart.

She was like Irene Adler in “Sherlock Holmes.”

She was good at reading people, and her actions often resonated positively with others.

For a long time, Christopher, Maxwell, Lilian, and Heather thought Ivy was a sensible

person.

Even the gossipy female employees at Levine Group had to admit that Ivy was quite exceptional and had a talent for winning people over to her side.

However, Ivy did lose control this time.

It was unusual for Christopher, a workaholic, to be absent from such a grand business

event.

Ivy wouldn’t be that surprised if Christopher was just a play boy.

However, he was not.

Thus, Ivy decided to go to Osimor Residence to replace out the situation.

Christopher looked at Ivy with pensive eyes.

Judging from her attire, Christopher speculated that Ivy must have come from Charmant Hotel.

In the past, he had always been patient with her.

However, he didn’t want her to interfere with his privacy.

That was why he had lost his tolerance and affection compared to usual.

Ivy sensed that things had taken a turn for the worse for her.

Her eyes were full of concern. She said, “Christopher, I saw that you didn’t come to the venue and was very worried about you, so I came here to have a look.”

Most men would be impressed by Ivy’s shy and attractive appearance.

However, Christopher didn’t buy it.

He narrowed his eyes, obviously not buying Ivy’s excuse.

Chapter 1 5

“Didn’t Felix tell you that I am staying at home with my wife and children today?” he asked.

He deliberately raised his voice as he said this.

It seemed like he was intentionally saying that for Kimberly in the house.

However, his words made Ivy stumble.

Christopher stood still and didn’t intend to help her.

Of course, she knew who he meant by “wife and children.”

Ivy was heartbroken. She pretended to be surprised and asked, “Did you replace Katherine and the baby?”

“Yes.” Christopher couldn’t bear to keep Ivy in the dark.

Christopher had gone out for a few minutes and didn’t return.

Candice lost her patience.

She got off the table and ran out.

“Daddy, daddy…” she shouted as she ran.

Kimberly found that after Christopher heard Candice’s voice, the anger on his face disappeared and was replaced by a doting and gentle expression.

Ivy saw a cute and sweet girl rush out of the house and run into Christopher’s arms.

Christopher was dressed in a business suit with a little kid in his arms.

Even Ivy found it hard to believe that these two completely different elements could harmonize so well with each other.

The more she looked at them, the more she found the scene serene.

Ivy was lost in thought, and she heard a soft kid’s voice.

“Daddy, who is this beautiful lady?” Candice pointed at Ivy with her chubby little finger.

After saying that, she licked her l*ps with her tongue, never hesitating to show off her

cuteness.

Ivy was about to introduce herself.

Chapter 13 5

Christopher spoke first. “This is a friend of Daddy’s. Come on, let’s go back to the house

and replace Mommy!”

These words hit Ivy hard.

Soon, the father and daughter returned to the house.

Before Christopher walked in, he turned around and said to Ivy, “I believe you still have work to attend to!”

He spoke in the same tone that a boss would use with his subordinates.

Ivy was left standing outside the door in a daze.

Kimberly was ready to watch the show. She didn’t anticipate the spectacle ending so quickly.

The car in the yard started again and drove away. –

She smiled jokingly. “No wonder people say that men are heartless. Why didn’t you invite her in for a cup of tea when she came all the way here?”

The more Christopher listened to Kimberly’s words, the more he felt that she was gloating.

He was upset that Kimberly didn’t show any signs of jealousy when another woman approached him. Instead, she started joking around.

Christopher felt distressed.

Angry, Christopher exclaimed, “I’m not the type to casually chat with a random guy in the middle of the night.”

Kimberly knew that he was insinuating her.

She was not to be outdone. “Oh? How do you know it’s a random man? Did you investigate me?”

Kimberly had a sharp tongue. Christopher was considered a novice before her.

Kimberly reiterated, “That’s my friend. He is not what you call a random guy.”

Hearing this, Christopher was about to explode in anger.

He walked to Kimberly and lifted her chin. “Need I remind you that we just signed the contract?”

Chapter 1 35

When Dexter and Sebastian saw what Christopher did to Kimberly, they reflexively ran over and pushed Christopher hard.

They warned sternly, “Don’t bully our mommy!”

Christopher was speechless. He thought, ‘Little rascals, don’t you know this is called a couple’s game? How could I bully your mommy? I can’t wait to pamper her, okay?’

Christopher joked, “Your mommy did something wrong. I was merely reminding her.”

The kids were skeptical. They glanced at Christopher and then Kimberly, their gazes shifting between them.

‘What are these two adults doing? Can’t they let us have some peace of mind?’ they mused.

Seeing that Kimberly didn’t refute Christopher’s claim, they decided to believe his words.

Dexter put on a solemn front. “Hey! Adults are really troublesome! We don’t want to be bothered anymore.”

Then, he took Candice and Sebastian to the children’s playground on the second floor.

Four years ago, after learning that Katherine was pregnant. Christopher asked someone to build a children’s playground on the second floor.

Kimberly couldn’t believe that a childless family would have such a well-equipped children’s playground.

She didn’t know whether it was because Christopher loved the children or he felt guilty for them.

After the three little kids left, Kimberly said sternly to Christopher, “Please keep at least three feet from me in the future, or I’ll beat you to a pulp!”

When she said this, she deliberately made a kickboxing gesture to threaten him.

Her posture was quite cool, and she appeared to be a serious, trained fighter.

Christopher ignored the warning. “It depends on your performance!”

Kimberly rolled her eyes at him.

The conversation ended there.

Chapter 1 35

Kimberly didn’t want to waste more time on Christopher. Anyway, she had warned him that if he did it again, she wouldn’t be lenient.

“Dexter, Candice, Sebastian, come downstairs. We have to go back to the Larson residence…” Kimberly called out.

Laughter echoed from upstairs. The kids seemed to be having so much fun that they didn’t take Kimberly’s words seriously.

Kimberly was dumbfounded. She muttered, “I haven’t been strict with them lately, and it looks like they’ve lost their way. Indeed, only consistent effort leads to success.”

Kimberly decided to discipline the kids consistently and never slack off.

Meanwhile, Christopher played with the lighter, turning it on and off. His gaze followed Kimberly all the time.
