Kimberly squinted and snorted coldly. “You are so shameless!”
She sneered and looked at Christopher across the table with disgust.
Christopher caught the look on her face, but he didn’t bother.
Instead, he looked proud and smug.
He continued to enjoy the delicious food.
Felix was at a loss after he hung up the phone.
He even suspected that it wasn’t Christopher who answered the phone just now.
‘The person didn’t sound like Christopher,’ Felix mused.
Felix pinched himself hard on the arm. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Ouch! It hurts!” he yelped.
Felix concluded, “It’s not a dream.”
He couldn’t help but admire Christopher.
Christopher brought the children back quietly.
Knowing Kimberly’s temperament, she wouldn’t let him go easily.
But Christopher’s smugness over the phone suggested that things had worked in his favor.
Felix was sincerely happy for Christopher.
‘Mr. Levine finally came to his senses,’ Felix thought.
Love could cloud one’s judgment.
For a long time, Felix couldn’t understand Christopher’s feelings for his wife.
It was obvious that he cared about Kimberly, but he still always annoyed her.
And finally, Christopher’s efforts had borne fruit.
Christopher was at home with his wife and children, so Felix, being Christopher’s
personal assistant, had to stay busy with work.

Half an hour later, in Charmant Hotel, Felix headed toward Timbo Hall and stood at the entrance.
The hall was large, magnificently decorated, and well-lit.
At first glance, it looked like there was a prestigious event being held there.
A pretty figure walked toward him.
That woman was none other than Ivy.
“Morning, Mr. Lynch! Hasn’t Mr. Levine arrived here yet?” Ivy looked around in anticipation in the
direction of the entrance.
Ivy respected Felix.
She walked forward and offered him her greeting.
In the past, Christopher and Felix always attended such important events together.
Once, Ivy even joked that they were like conjoined twins.
Felix smiled and nodded, responding, “Mr. Levine is busy with other important plans today.”
Ivy immediately understood Felix-Christopher wouldn’t be here today.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and then disappointment followed.
It was a big event, and she had prepared it carefully for a long time.
Even the dress she wore was designed by a well-known haute couture designer.
It cost her a lot of money, and she had to ask her friends for help to get the dress.
All her efforts were to shine in this event, standing brightly next to Christopher.
However, Christopher was not coming today.
Felix saw through Ivy’s mind.
‘Alas, she is also a poor woman,’ he mused.

Of course, Felix knew that Ivy had a crush on Christopher.

Before Kimberly appeared, everyone thought Ivy would become Mrs. Levine sooner or
later.
Even Felix thought so, too.
That was because Christopher treated Ivy differently.
He cared about her.
But there seemed to be no romance between them.
Felix seemed to know what it was.
Christopher treated Ivy intimately but with a certain distance, as if he were conducting business every
time.
In other words, Christopher and Ivy were more like siblings.
Felix could sense the embarrassment and said, “Ms. Abb ot, you look beautiful today.”
He decided to change the subject.
“Thank you!” Ivy’s eyes were full of loss and sadness, but she still responded politely.
The event was going to start soon. Felix was going to reh ea rse.
Ivy was left alone in a daze.
She was unwilling to accept Christopher’s absence.
She knew Christopher’s schedule in advance.
Besides, when she asked Felix why Christopher had changed his schedule, she could tell Felix was
brushing her off.
She knew by sixth sense that Christopher didn’t go to the company, and she had confirmed it with her
colleagues.
Ivy drove to Osimor Residence.
*****
Christopher deliberately canceled the schedule today because he wanted to build a stronger bond with
Kimberly and the kids.

However, Kimberly didn’t give him a chance.
At the dinner table, Kimberly kept urging the kids to finish the food.
Yes, she was in a hurry to leave the place.

However, Candice was dissatisfied with Kimberly’s urging. She was a slow eater, and she felt
embarrassed to get told off in front of Christopher.
Candice said, “Mommy, didn’t you say to eat slowly? Girls should be ladylike.”
Kimberly held his chin with one hand. She couldn’t help but think, ‘Candice is indeed Christopher’s
daughter. She has repeatedly refuted me for Christopher’s sake.’
Kimberly answered, “What? I did say so, but you can’t eat as slow as a little snail!”
She needed to worry less about Dexter and Sebastian compared to Candice.
Kimberly started to doubt whether Candice had been bought off by Christopher.
Christopher was unhappy as he pondered, ‘Does this woman want to escape from me so eagerly? She
can’t even wait for the children to finish eating? Or is she in a hurry to meet the man named Gerald?’
Thinking of the two’s call yesterday, Christopher couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Christopher tousled Candice’s head and said, “Candice, don’t worry. If your mommy doesn’t wait for
you, I will send
I will send you home.”
Kimberly was stunned to hear that.
‘What? Not only is this man causing trouble in my territory, but he also wants to go to Dellmoor?’ she
thought.
However, Candice was so excited that she asked, “Really?”
After saying that, she reached out and wanted to interlock her pinky finger with Christopher’s.
Then, she bragged to her two brothers, as if it was her privilege.
However, Dexter and Sebastian had been taught to take care of their sister since young. They were
generous and didn’t like to compete for favors.
In other words, they felt secure.

They were more interested in computers and the internet than Christopher.

Along the way, Ivy was nervous.
She knew that Christopher didn’t like her going to Osimor Residence without permission.
However, the more he acted like this, the more she wanted to be the lady of Osimor Residence.
Her intuition told her that he was at Osimor Residence.
‘In ancient times, there was a king who forsook his duty for the sake of a woman.
‘Could it be that Christopher has a woman in Osimor Residence?’ Ivy wondered.
A bad feeling hung over Ivy.
No one knew how desperate she was.
In the yard of Osimor Residence, a car engine sounded.
Kimberly thought it was Maxwell and the others.
When she felt troubled about how to explain herself, George’s voice sounded in the yard again. “Ms.
Ab bot!”
‘Ms. A bbot?’ Kimberly searched through her memories briefly and concluded that she didn’t know the
person.
‘She’s probably Christopher’s new sweetheart,’ she thought.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Christopher.
The man’s face darkened visibly as he got up from the dining table and walked to the door.
Kimberly looked forward to the spectacle.
Christopher trotted to the yard and asked, “Why are you here?”
He had no intention to let Ivy into the house.
“I…” Seeing the man’s ugly expression, Ivy swallowed her words.
Ivy had expected that Christopher would get upset if she came here without permission, but she didn’t
expect his anger to be so serious.
