My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore -

Chapter 90
After bidding farewell to Christopher, Vincent took Olivia and began preparing for some shopping.
Olivia felt like her legs were about to give out. Luckily, the hearty steak they had for lunch earlier boosted her energy.
Both of them had their hands full of shopping loot, though most of them belonged to Vincent.
The bags were filled with a variety of high-end skincare products, scarves, handbags, and other items.
Olivia could not help but feel that Vincent was being overly extravagant and said, “Stop buying things. We won’t even be able to fit them in the car later.”
She even threatened him, saying, “If you can’t fit them, you’ll have to carry them back yourself!”
At this time, Olivia’s friend brought over the agreed-upon 20,000-dollar car.
Olivia told him where Vincent’s car was and asked him to pull over.
When Olivia and Vincent got down, the two cars formed a clear contrast.
Olivia obviously felt a black cloud hanging over Vincent’s head as he seemed dumbfounded and unwilling to accept the situation.
It seemed that, sometimes, men needed to be coaxed.
Olivia collected her thoughts and attempted to offer some words of wisdom, imitating the expression of a motivational speaker. “A capable man can adapt to different circumstances. Think of this 20,000-dollar car as a part of a popular reality show where billionaires experience ordinary life.”
After saying that, she did not forget to ask Vincent, “Does that make now?”
A real man never went back on his word.

Now that Vincent had already agreed and won a benefit for himself, he was not one to go back on his word.
He took the car keys and stuffed all the shopping loot earlier into the trunk.
He then pulled out the keys to his luxury car.

Seeing this, Olivia thought he might be having second thoughts and was about to intervene. However, Vincent spoke first, putting her concerns to rest.

“Don’t worry.
I’ve promised you, and I’ll keep my word. I’m just moving the things from the trunk of my car to this car.”
This response was typical of Vincent. He was someone who always kept his promises; otherwise, he would never make them in the first place.
Subsequently, Olivia observed Vincent opening the trunk of the Bentley, which was filled to the brim with an assortment of items and various products.
Seeing this spectacle, Olivia’s mouth fell wide open, and she looked utterly incredulous. “When did you prepare so much stuff?”
Then, she came back to her senses and asked, “After buying so much, what’s the point of all these extra items?”
She even playfully commented on his wealth, saying, “Mister, are you so wealthy that you don’t know where to spend your money anymore?”
Vincent did not offer a response or engage in the conversation. Instead, he busied himself with transferring all the offerings he had prepared for his future mother-in-law. Olivia’s friend also joined in to help with the lifting.
Vincent had already prepared numerous gifts when he was in Dellmoor, and while shopping in Norham, he had indulged himself even more.
Consequently, this small car was packed to the brim with gifts, and the back seat was overflowing with products.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Olivia could not help but laugh as she looked at the back.
Both of them gave off a distinct impression of being small business owners. They seemed as if they had just completed a successful haul and were on their way to set up a street market stall.
It was just that they were carrying a car full of items from luxury brands.
Olivia did not intend to let Vincent off so easily. She teased him, saying, “Look at all the things you bought. It’s very professional. These are the essentials when a son-in-law visits his mother-in-law. It seems like you have a lot of experience because you have considered everything so thoroughly.”
Olivia had observed carefully. Indeed, Vincent’s choices were all top-notch and in line with her mother’s preferences.

However, what Olivia did not know was that these were the result of the wisdom of five men combined.
Vincent was experiencing this kind of thing for the first time as he had never been a son-in-law before.
Seeing Olivia wearing a mischievous smile and mocking him, Vincent felt that he needed to punish this little woman properly. However, they were in a moving vehicle.
After all, his carefully selected Bentley had significant sentimental value as it was a witness to their relationship.
Moreover, if he had driven his own car, they would not have been so crowded, and he would never have felt like a FedEx driver.
This experience was truly unique for him.
Olivia, who was gloating, did not anticipate that Vincent would suddenly slam on the brakes and stop the car at the side of the road.
He leaned toward Olivia’s side, directly aiming for her l*ps. Olivia sensed the impending danger; however, it was too late to react. Vincent used his hand to hold the back of her head, rendering her unable to break free from his k*ss, no matter how much she struggled.
Feeling the little woman struggling hard, Vincent released her and sat back upright. He restarted the car and continued on their way.
Vincent wore a mischievous smile, thinking, ‘This eloquent woman’s taste is quite good.’ Finally, he gave her a friendly warning. “Don’t provoke a man face-to-face; the consequences are self-inflicted.”
The scene from just now played back and forth in Olivia’s mind, and her face turned even redder.
Vincent took great pleasure in observing Olivia’s bashful demeanor; it was all within his sight.
Because of his bold move, she finally became quiet.
She could not quite explain the mix of emotions she felt. She had always disliked frivolous men and considered herself quite traditional.
However, she did not seem to mind Vincent’s recent actions, even though she found them rather unexpected. All she felt was embarrassment.
They continued their journey in silence. The atmosphere was calm once again.

Vincent thought, ‘Next time you don’t listen to me, I’ll use this trick to deal with you.’ He was secretly delighted that he had discovered Olivia’s soft spot. He felt as if he had mastered a unique skill.
Soon, they arrived at Olivia’s house.
It was located in a peaceful and elegant residential area.
Vincent’s car seemed out of place in this serene setting. He could not help but mutter to himself silently, ‘Blame it on this little woman. I’ve made so many preparations, and now, I’ve wasted all my efforts because of this car.’
He then contemplated what would happen if Kimberly and the others found out that he had driven a 20,000-dollar car to Olivia’s house. It would probably become a year- long topic of discussion among them.
The redness of Olivia’s cheeks and ears had not yet subsided when Madeline rushed out to greet them. She had heard the sound of the car engine.
Madeline was a bit surprised when she saw the car. However, she quickly thought, ‘It’s the person that matters.
Sure enough, she saw the son-in-law looking dignified, even more handsome than Brad Pitt. Despite the slightly worn car, his outfit was quite stylish.
Like a gentleman, he gracefully walked to the passenger’s side and opened the door for Olivia. His demeanor was warm and gentle.
Madeline was thrilled with her son-in-law.
Seeing Olivia’s flushed skin, Madeline asked anxiously, “Ollie, what’s wrong? Why is your face so red?”
Then, she reached out and touched Olivia’s forehead and her own before murmuring to herself, “Not running a fever!”
Seeing the situation, Vincent could not help but wear a mischievous smile. His mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and he took the initiative to greet Madeline. “Hello, Mrs. Salter. I’m Vincent Sullivan.”
Vincent then began to flatter her. “Mrs. Salter, you look so young. If I didn’t know Olivia only has one brother, I would have thought you were her sister!”
