My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 24

In the absence of stress, Kimberly’s body felt lighter.

A person’s body was always honest.

Now that there was a weight off her shoulders, she dozed off into a pleasant sleep.

When Kimberly woke up the next morning, the sun had already risen.

Olivia had a habit of jogging in the morning.

When she returned, Esther informed her that Kimberly was still in slumber.

Olivia then tiptoed into Kimberly’s room. She soon noted to herself, “This girl is probably still dreaming

about Wonderland. It might be excessive sleeping that’s associated with pregnancy. At any rate, the

theme of the day is to relax and unwind. She’ll wake up naturally once she’s had enough sleep and

when her stomach is empty.”

Olivia closed the door gingerly, then headed straight downstairs. Esther already had breakfast

prepared.

With the free time Olivia had after breakfast, she collected a large pile of documents related to the case

and brought them to the rose garden. She sat down in the garden and began to dissect them.

Kimberly and Olivia had originally made a pact that weekends were for having fun and that no work

was allowed.

If Kimberly were to see her work, she would surely nag Olivia.

When the clock nearly struck ten, their knight arrived and reported for duty.

Vincent, who wore a pair of bronze shades, stepped out of the garage.

He surveyed the Larson residence and concluded, “This place is indeed a treasure land. when it comes

to geomancy. It’s no wonder that Kimberly and Uncle William had the notion of taking over this place.”

With just one sweep of his eye, Vincent caught sight of the figure within the rose garden.

A lock of hair cascaded down one side of the feminine figure. The woman had documents in one hand,

and with the other hand tugged the lock of hair behind her

ears.

Despite her casual attire, her elegance and charm shone through in the way she moved.

Vincent picked up his pace and trod to the rose garden.

Miraculously, Olivia was so deeply engrossed in her documents to the point that she did not notice the

person approaching her.

It was not until Vincent stood before her, blocking the sun, that she finally realized that there was a man

by her side.

Due to the misunderstanding that had occurred during their first meeting, Olivia still felt a tad bit

embarrassed, and Vincent could sense the agitation and awkwardness within her.

He never expected that a mannish woman such as Olivia, who carried herself ruthlessly at court, would

have such a cute and adorable side to her.

Olivia stood up immediately, but due to her haste, she dropped her documents and they scat tered all

over the ground.

Vincent promptly crouched down and helped her pick up the papers.

When they got back up, their heads collided with each other.

Olivia ducked away immediately as if she had been jolted by electricity.

The corners of Vincent’s lips arched up into a smile. He then proceeded to break the ice first. “It’s the

weekend, and you’re still working hard. I guess that’s why you’re the leading figure in your field of

work.”

Hearing Vincent’s words, Olivia continued the conversation in a heartbeat, “In that case, my patron

should be more generous. That way, we workers would have more motivation to grind away at our

jobs.”

Kimberly, who was sleeping like a log, awoken at the sound of the car engine coming from the garden.

She abruptly recalled that she had a date that day. She jumped off her bed in a hurry, not treating

herself like a pregnant lady.

She washed up and then went down the stairs. Esther informed her that it was Vincent who had

arrived, and he was chatting with Olivia in the garden.

With Esther’s words, Kimberly grabbed a cup of milk and a large piece of bread, then marched outside,

taking bites of the bread between strides.

Esther followed behind, reminding Kimberly to take caution, but the latter ignored her.

Kimberly’s curiosity drove her onward. She wondered, “Am I missing something here?”

Then and there, she was a cliched drama-goer.

Π

It was likely true that the employees of Larson Corporation were not aware of how big a gossip their

CEO was.

When Olivia spotted Kimberly drawing nearer, she instantaneously comprehended Kimberly’s intent

just by a glimpse of the odd expression on her face.

Out of professional habit, Olivia made the first move. “Look at you, you future mom. You’re still running

about while having something to eat. Quickly now, go back to the living room and dine properly. With

that prenatal education of yours, you’ll soon give birth to two little devils.”

Kimberly choked on her bread upon hearing Olivia’s words and began to cough incessantly.

Olivia swiftly caught the cup of milk from Kimberly’s hand, then lifted it to Kimberly’s mouth. “Hurry up

and drink some milk.”

In the meantime, she did not forget to continue with her lecture. “People tend to say that a woman tur

into a fool for three years with each pregnancy. But it seems to me that your foolishness would be

many folds worse.”

Then, without waiting for Kimberly to react, Olivia fled the scene! the cup of milk still in her hand.

Meanwhile, Vincent was close to being breathless as he howled out in laughter at the sight of his

sister’s withered face.

When it came time to depart, it was already half-past ten.

Their roles were clear, and their duties were obvious. That day, Vincent was to take exceptional care of

the two beautiful ladies.

In the car, Kimberly and Olivia had conflicting ideas for their morning and evening schedules. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Kimberly desired to visit the amusement park in the evening when they had lots of time to spare, while

Olivia preferred doing so in the morning when they were still full of energy. Olivia further reasoned that

since Kimberly was pregnant, thus, she should not spend too much time having fun, nor should she get

too wild.

At last, Kimberly yielded. In her heart, she thought, “These two are such sweet burdens. One day,

when I’m no longer carrying the two of you, I may then enjoy myself to the fullest.

The amusement park they visited was one of the subsidiary companies under Larson

Corporation. With the trio’s authority, they could have reserved the entire venue for their personal

entertainment.

However, the notion felt hollow to them.

Hence, on that day, they played the role of commoners. They were there to relax and to experience the

park firsthand.

In other words, they were undercover – an incognito inspection by the CEO.

Vincent queued up to purchase the tickets while Kimberly and Olivia waited under a parasol.

He had a camera hanging on him and was carrying two bags. A gorgeous and handsome man such as

Vincent had inadvertently been transformed into a super nanny by the girls.

Half an hour later, Vincent finally managed to purchase three tickets when he began to bemoan.

Olivia soon made a deal with Kimberly, whereby no matter what rides Kimberly wanted to go on, it must

first be approved by her.

Alas, Kimberly could only stare wide-eyed at Vincent and Olivia, who went up in the air on ride after

ride of the roller coasters and pirate ship.

Meanwhile, she could only visit booths catered for children, such as the merry-go- round and dart

games.

She was not even allowed on the bumper cars.

When Vincent and Olivia descended from the rocket ship ride, all they saw was Kimberly pouting, a

look of disappointment on her face.

In the blink of an eye, Vincent came up with a way to placate her. “Don’t be sad. I’ll go and get you

some ice cream to eat.”

The weather was hot that day. Worried that Kimberly might come down with a heat stroke, Olivia

urgently asked Kimberly if she felt uncomfortable in any way. She then started fanning Kimberly with an

introductory pamphlet.

As Vincent and Olivia busied about nervously, their mannerism amused Kimberly.

Kimberly had wanted only to dish out some light punishment on the duo who were enjoying themselves

to their hearts’ content while she herself was down in the dumps. Never did she dream that both of

them would fall for it.

Soon enough. Vincent returned with ice cream in hand.

Unfortunately, Olivia had seen through Kimberly’s trickery. She intentionally got her hands on the ice

cream first and took it from Vincent.

She outright pretended in all seriousness and said, “Vincent, pregnant women can’t have frozen food.

Aren’t you aware of a common logic such as this? Hurry up and get a cup of hot milk for Kimberly.”

Kimberly gagged at the mention of milk.

She had never viewed milk in such a light before.

Yet, for some reason, after she got pregnan milk.

she always detected a peculiar taste in

At that point, Kimberly panicked. She begged deploringly, “My dear, sweet Ollie. Just please let me

have this one bite. I’ll have the milk next time.”

Before Olívia, Kimberly was but an earnest child.

No one could glean a trace of the CEO of Larson Corporation from this Kimberly.

At the end of the day, everybody would meet their match, and Olivia was indeed Kimberly’s adversary.
