My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore
Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Gerald still had to plan this out carefully.

His eyes were sharp and profound. He thought, ‘It seems like a good idea to follow the stalker’s suggestion and have him lure out the mastermind behind him.”

Gerald always had a backup plan up his sleeve. Of course, him courting Kimberly was

an exception.

He knew nothing about whoever was behind this. If they were cu nning, then they would definitely not take the bait.

Kimberly’s safety was far too important for him to gamble.

Along the way, Kimberly was quiet.

Gerald was driving the car and turned his head from time to time to look at her.

He was so worried.

“Perhaps she’s too tired, he reasoned to himself.

Not long after getting in the car, she fell asleep leaning against the headrest of the car

s cat.

Her brows furrowed so hard it was almost like they were going to tie themselves together.

Gerald’s heart ached to see that. He loosened his right hand on the steering wheel and paused for a moment. He wanted to rub the space between her brows.

However, he was afraid of waking her up.

He only liked seeing her smile.

After Frederick got the news from the security department, he immediately organized a group of staff members to investigate.

The CEO of Larson Corporation, Kimberly, was in the underground parking lot of her own company when she got stalked.

This was a very serious matter.

Frederick immediately felt scared as well. Fortunately, she was fine.

When they were about to arrive at the Larson residence, Gerald saw Kimberly sleeping soundly and didn’t have the heart to wake her.

So, he pulled over to the side of the road.

He watched her carefully. There was no one to disturb her. There were only the two of them.

Frederick happened to witness this scene.

After arranging the investigation, he was worried and drove over to check on her.

A car parked near the Larson residence caught his attention.

He slowed down to get a good look at the people inside. It was Kimberly,

He saw Gerald in the car gazing at her with such affection.

He could tell that Gerald cared about her very much.

He just waited in the car so as to not wake her up.

Kimberly had come a long way over the years. It was not easy for her to live with a big spotlight above her head as part of Larson Corporation while raising her three children.

He watched along the way as things unfolded and naturally knew the bitter story behind things.

It was the kind of thing that seemed effortless on the surface, but in reality, required a lot of effort and sacrifices.

Christopher was her ex-husband, but he hurt her the most.

In front of Gerald, she could put down her guard and sleep so peacefully, which showed that he could bring her a sense of security.

Frederick didn’t stop the car. He drove on for a while and took a turn.

After about two hours, Kimberly woke up.

It was already completely dark outside. The moon wasn’t out that night and it was gusty too. It was so dark that if one put their hand out, they wouldn’t be able to make out their fingers.

Kimberly was embarrassed. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”

Gerald answered half-jokingly, “Hey, I’m innocent, okay? I’ve been trying to wake you all night and you didn’t react at all. In the end, I finally had an idea. I thought of Sleeping Beauty’s story about how only the prince’s k*ss can wake the princess from her slumber. Then, you woke up at last.”

The temperature in the car rose rapidly and even the air smelled sweet.

Kimberly rolled her eyes. “As expected, you’re a love master, huh? Sweet talking must come to you as casily as breathing.”

She gave him a big thumbs up.

Gerald was humorous like that and Kimberly felt very relaxed whenever she was with him.

After leaving the Larson residence, Gerald made a phone call. “There’s something I’d like to ask your help with.”

He wanted to replace the bad guy as soon as possible.

The man on the other end of the phone listened carefully to Gerald, who told him about what had happened from beginning to end.

His name was Curtis Spencer and he was Gerald’s right-hand man. He was good at investigating and solving cases. Furthermore, he was even an expert computer hacker.

He was on standby most of the time.

He didn’t expect to receive a mission from Gerald this late.

Curtis chuckled. It was interesting to him that even Gerald, who had no interest in women all year round, had fallen into the whirlpool of love.

Curtis had worked for him for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen Gerald become so anxious for a woman.

Their relationship was professional but friendly.

Curtis was usually carefree and liked to joke. “Gerald, I never thought this day would ever come. I thought you were the most unlikely among us to replace a partner.

Gerald remained calm-there was even an arrogance in his voice. “Well, when love comes your way, you can’t stop it even if you want to. You single people wouldn’t understand.”

Gerald said this as if he had already gotten together with Kimberly.

Curtis liked to be free and independent. He found things involving women to be

troublesome.

Then, Gerald became serious. “You have to do it quickly.”

Jokes were jokes. But, once Gerald gave instructions, Curtis didn’t take orders lightly.

“Okay, wait for my message,” Curtis replied.

Candice got up in the middle of the night. She was about to go to the toilet when she saw that the lights in Kimberly’s room were still on.

She tiptoed over.

Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she asked, “Mommy, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Kimberly spoke gently. “Candice, sweetheart, why are you up? Did Mommy wake you?”

Candice was very thoughtful and considerate. Kimberly called her a sweetheart because she was the best at being one. “Why did you come back so late today. Mommy?”

Kimberly thought for a while before responding, “Because Mommy met a bad guy. today and sent him to the police station.”

Kimberly liked to teach valuable lessons entertainingly. Since she started talking about. the subject, she did not change it or avoid it. She simply adapted it appropriately into something useful for her daughter to learn.

As children grow up, they may encounter a variety of situations.

Besides singing praises and celebrating goodness, she felt that it was necessary for them to know about evil.

Having a wide view will allow them to form their own values.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while late in the night.

Kimberly hurriedly urged Candice to get some rest because the latter still had to get up early the next day.

However, once Candice got up early in the morning, she called Christopher.

In her mind, Kimberly was bullied, and she felt that she had to replace someone powerful to protect her mother.

At that moment, she remembered her father, Christopher.

Early in the morning, Christopher was reading a newspaper.

Breakfast time every day was also the time for him to watch financial news.

This was a habit he developed over the years.

At that moment, Candice’s call came in.

E

He glanced at the quartz clock on the wall and thought, ‘It’s almost time for school. What is Candice calling me for?”

Christopher was confused. “Candice, shouldn’t you be going to school at this time?”

Candice defended herself, “Daddy, I’m not ski pping school. I’m going soon and mommy is already hurrying me but I still feel like I need to call you so I feel less worried.”

Christopher didn’t expect her to be so clever and logical.

“What interesting things do you want to share with Daddy, Candice?” Christopher thought that Candice was going to share something cute with him again like how she saw the ants move house, found a beautiful butterfly, and so on.

This was Candice’s daily sharing.

She was an observant girl.

Candice was dissatisfied and yelled, “Daddy, I’m not a kid anymore.”

Then, she said seriously, “Listen, your wife was bullied. Are you going to do something about it or not?”
