Ivy followed Christopher sweetly to a high-end restaurant called Cinderwood.

Those who could afford to visit the establishment were all rich and noble.

The restaurant’s manager naturally was always on his toes. He would always personally welcome the guests at the entrance, especially individuals like Christopher, who was considered a big shot of Norham.

The manager immediately made the necessary preparations to personally escort. Christopher once he received a call about his arrival at the front desk.

Ivy quickened her pace when she noticed that the restaurant’s entrance was drawing.

near.

Her slender right arm h o oked itself intimately with Christopher’s left hand.

The manager was all smiles when he caught sight of his most generous patron.

His eyes swiftly scanned the woman next to him.

She was drop-dead gorgeous with supple skin and an alluringly delicate face. Moreover, her style was the epitome of class and elegance.

While everyone in Norham knew Christopher was married, few were genuinely acquainted with Katherine.

Christopher had always been a cold and distant person. As such, there weren’t any. rumors swirling about his romantic relationships after Kiara.

The manager jumped the gun and presumed that the stunning woman before him was. Christopher’s wife.

“Good day to you, Mrs. Levine,” he greeted automatically.

Ivy was stunned for a moment. However, she was secretly overjoyed despite the misunderstanding..

It seemed like Christopher had never brought Katherine to this restaurant before.

Christopher, on the other hand, felt ruffled by the manager’s term of address.

There would always be people around him bringing up Katherine, no matter how hard he tried to forget about her.

Even so, he hid his displeasure upon second thought that the manager wasn’t to blame for his assumption.

“She’s not Katherine,” he clarified stonily.

The manager was in a terribly awkward position. His intention to lighten up the mood. had backfired.

True enough, today just wasn’t his lucky day.

However, his embarrassment lasted for merely a second, as his line of work required him to read the room and defuse situations.

Ivy was upset that Christopher had denied that she was his wife.

“Wouldn’t he have laughed it off or said something along the lines of Katherine belonging to the past if he’d gotten over her?”

She would have still looked gentle and amicable if one did not pay heed to her dainty hands that tightened into fists.

When Christopher clarified her identity, she’d even plastered on a charming smile.

The restaurant’s refined and petite dishes were a testament to the chef’s outstanding culinary skills.

Ivy was an exceptionally demanding person when it came to others and herself.

She had an extremely strict daily diet and only sampled several morsels from the lavish spread that Christopher ordered.

Not a single moment of Ivy’s time was spent idle as she was busy waiting on Christopher.

She would serve him salad in one moment, as it was good for his health, and fish in the next to improve his vision.

The view of how busy Ivy was sent Christopher into a trance, and he was reminded of Katherine.

In his memories, Katherine enjoyed cooking and was good at it, too. The dishes she made were comparable even to a hotel’s.

Unfortunately, he rarely went home and only tasted it a few times.

A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth at the recollection.

Ivy was beside herself with glee since she thought it was because of her.

Alas, the smile was replaced quickly by a frown after three seconds when Christopher began being ticked off by Katherine in his mind.

Ivy had been constantly observing his expressions beside him.

It was a challenge to decipher his mood with how fickle his emotions were, no matter how astute she was.

“Christopher, the brand ‘LOVE’ will be coming over for their market research soon. How is our company’s product design going?”

Ivy switched topics in an attempt to throw attention to her magnificent works..

“Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner as planned. While the product’s design is crucial, providing them with the best service takes precedence so that the brand will approve of our

e cultur

Christopher had already considered Ivy as someone within his inner circle and explained the situation to her in detail.

“I see. I recently chatted with the director of design department and learned that our current works are mostly classic in style and lack innovation. In addition, I have also tried coming up with designs based on my ideas as of late. The first draft has been released and will almost be finalized tomorrow. I’ll show it to you then.”

Ivy became increasingly passionate the more she spoke, as she could almost picture Christopher recognizing her accomplishments and showering her with praise.

“I’ll view this as a major evaluation after all my years studying abroad.”

Christopher was sometimes unsure what to make of the woman before her.

While her softness often filled him with a protective instinct, her assertiveness at work made her a completely different person who could handle everything herself.

Christopher smiled affectionately at Ivy upon how seriously she viewed her career.

“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Leading a happy life is the most important thing.” He didn’t forget to remind her out of concern.

“At the moment, Larson Corporation is most probably our biggest competitor. We should not underestimate their competitiveness, especially since Kimberly became its president.”

Ivy was secretly displeased to hear Christopher mentioning Kimberly.

Nevertheless, upon further consideration, one couldn’t say for sure who would get the last laugh now that she had Whitney as her capable assistant, regardless of how co cky Kimberly was.

With that, Ivy’s mood lightened significantly.

Moreover, her troubles were dispelled in the blink of an eye with how caring Christopher behaved toward her.

Ivy was eager to learn how much Katherine meant to him at being presented with such a precious opportunity.

“Christopher, I didn’t expect so many things to happen at home after I’d gone abroad. Why did you and Katherine divorce so suddenly?”

Ivy’s heart was beating so hard as soon as the question left her l*ps.

George had told her that Katherine was a topic of taboo in the Osimor Residence.

She deliberately gazed at him like an innocent and harmless ingenue while blinking her eyes, making her look irresistibly captivating.

Christopher put down his fork and looked up at the woman opposite him when Katherine was brought up.

Her question made him vastly uncomfortable as feelings of irritation stirred within. him.

Despite that, he never lost his temper with Ivy and would always tolerate her, even when she misbehaved.

He would be willing to tell her the truth if that was what she wanted.

It would save her from making assumptions that would only harm their relationship.

He paused briefly to fiddle with his sleeve cuffs before uttering calmly, “There’s no particular reason. We merely feel nothing for one another. We remained married for two years solely for the sake of Grandpa and the rest.”

Ivy was thrilled to hear his response but acted sympathetic outwardly.

“It must be horrible to marry a woman you don’t love.”

Of course, Ivy knew that Maxwell had been in poor health. That was likely why Christopher kept up appearances with Katherine at that time.

Now that Maxwell seemed to be healthy, it was no wonder Christopher chose to divorce.
