My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 70

Maxwell’s disappointment and overwhelming sense of loneliness extended far and wide.

Witnessing Christopher’s exhaustion, Maxwell simply couldn’t hold him accountable.

He stepped forward and patted Christopher on the shoulder. “You’ve been running around for two days.

You must be feeling incredibly tired. Go and rest now. There’s no need to hurry to find her. Take your

time.”

Three days later, the Xander family from Norham and the Coleman family from Baykeep had a

marriage of convenience.

It was a joyous event.

Many guests attended the event, including Christopher.

Naturally, he attended the event for the sake of Noah.

He had no interest in the Xander family.

At the wedding reception, Daniel Xander looked around. Today was an important day for him.

On the outside, he feigned radiant happiness, masking the bitter feelings that consumed his heart.

In the hall stood a rigid and dignified figure. As his gaze locked onto the figure, he soon realized that it

was none other than Christopher himself.

He was well aware that Christopher would show up due to his connections with the Coleman family.

Christopher sensed a gaze fixated on him. As he turned his head, little did he anticipate locking eyes

with the groom himself.

In response, Daniel Xander smiled courteously,

Deep down, he harbored a profound hatred for Christopher.

Katherine held a significant place in his heart.

Christopher was lucky to marry her, but he didn’t value her.

Within a mere two years, she was abandoned, and now, there was no news at all.

The most dreadful deed was that he forced the Xander Group into a desperate

89%B

situation, leaving them with no alternatives.

As Christopher was a distinguished guest invited by the Coleman family, Noah soon came to greet him.

He maintained his usual style and teased, “Look at the festive atmosphere. Can you feel it? How is it?

Are you planning to hold a grandeur wedding to make it up to Katherine once you get her back?”

Christopher was difficult to deal with. He immediately raised his fist to make his point clear.

Thus, Noah instantly fell silent and begged for mercy, raising both hands in surrender. Afterward, Noah

spent some time with Christopher. Initially, Christopher intended to come here and give gifts, then

leave.

However, when he noticed the Xander family, he became intrigued and casually observed them.

It was boring too.

Therefore, he stood up and was about to leave.

Noah escorted him to the entrance.

During the wedding reception, everyone socialized and enjoyed drinks.

Daniel Xander’s wedding reception was also a business banquet to get to know more people.

Melvin introduced Daniel Xander to several influential entrepreneurs in the industry.

However, the bride he married was not the woman he loved.

In the end, Daniel Xander deliberately got himself drunk.

It was said that every minute of the wedding night was precious.

Nevertheless, he was trying to avoid it.

Marissa was meticulous about maintaining her cleanliness. Although she had feelings for Daniel

Xander, she would not allow herself to be tarnished by him.

Ultimately, Daniel Xander was left in the study, and Marissa was alone in their festive wedding room.

However, bitterness consumed her heart.

In the fairy tale, the prince and princess lived a happy life in the castle.

But there seemed to be a huge gap between reality and fairy tale.

The marriage of convenience between Daniel Xander and Marissa made headlines, and Kimberly also

read the news.

“This is surprising. Kimberly thought.

Gregory and Lucia protected Kristin so well.

Even in this crucial moment, they refused to sacrifice her to save the Xander Group.

Instead, Daniel Xander became the bargaining tool.

Then, she enlarged the news image.

Daniel Xander’s demeanor remained as icy as ever.

Marissa, who was next to him, seemed very likable and innocent, with no bad intentions.

There were rumors that Daniel Xander was now in charge of Xander Group.

At first, when she heard it, she was a little surprised.

Gregory’s greed for power was so strong. How could he possibly consider surrendering his authority?

It must be the credit of Daniel Xander’s father-in-law, Melvin.

That was good, too.

Daniel Xander was much more capable than Gregory.

Under the leadership of Daniel Xander, it was only a matter of time before the Xander Group went

further.

While she was lost in thought, Olivia came over and invited her for a high tea. “Come on, let’s go.

The three little cuties must be quite famished by now. As their godmother, allow me to pamper their

lovely and talented mother.”

Olivia grabbed Kimberly’s arm and was about to walk toward the door.

“Have you read the latest news? Daniel Xander is married.” Olivia knew Daniel Xander was the only

person Kimberly cared about in the Xander family. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Yeah, I saw it on the trending topics. I’m happy for him that he’s married and regained his authority,

and now he can be independent in his choices.” Kimberly was telling the

truth.

She and Daniel Xander had no status in the Xander family. They were not treated as the eldest

daughter and son. Instead, they were treated as helpless strangers living under someone else’s roof.

All these changes occurred after Diana died and Lucia married Gregory.

It seemed like the lady of the house played a pivotal role in ensuring the harmony and prosperity of the

entire family.

Olivia watched as Kimberly enjoyed a delicious meal in front of her. She couldn’t help but feel envious.

“How many women would long to be in your shoes? You’re pregnant. You can indulge in endless

cravings, never worry about weight gain, and still maintain your stunning figure.”

With a mischievous grin, Kimberly playfully responded, “We share the same build and figure, you know.

If you are expecting, you’ll look just like me. Would you like to give it a try?”

Olivia was taken aback by her final question, “Would you like to give it a try?”

“Forget it! I’m comfortable being alone. Besides, what’s

yours is mine too. You have three little cuties. I’m concerned that you might struggle to take care of

them by then.”

Kimberly was determined not to let Olivia slip away so easily. She leaned in and whispered into Olivia’s

car, “Any updates with Vincent?”

Olivia’s cars and checks turned slightly pink as she was questioned. Indeed, Vincent looked for her and

expressed his intention to pursue and take responsibility for her. She was incredibly irritated..

At work, she displayed a remarkable level of independence.

However, she had difficulties handling her emotions when it came to love.

Probably it was because of a past trauma.

She nodded firmly at Kimberly.

Suddenly, Kimberly’s phone rang. It was David.

Kimberly had a lot of respect for David. She picked up the phone and called out, “David.”

“Kimberly, do you have a moment to talk? Fabian was caught,” David asked on the other end of the

line, sounding cautious.

Once David had ensured that it was safe, he proceeded to inform her about the current updates.

“My buddy has been on guard duty for a while and finally spotted Fabian. However, the progress made

is not significant. The person behind it was too c unn ing and never appeared all along. Before the

accident, Fabian received an anonymous call. The caller asked him to take a leave of absence and

return to his hometown. The caller also asked him to install a mini program in Dad’s car. During that

period, Fabian was being pursued relentlessly by usurious loan lenders. Then, out of nowhere,

someone came to his rescue, offering him a glimmer of hope. However, the caller and Fabian never

actually met during the transactions. The mini-program system and the payment were both

prearranged in one location. Currently, all evidence suggests that Fabian is the one responsible, and

he has been jailed. However, the clue suddenly broke off for no apparent reason.”

David was filled with intense emotions. He firmly believed he could bring the murderer to justice, but he

never anticipated him to be so cu nning.

Kimberly was at the other end of the line, experiencing the same emotions as David. Subsequently, she

comforted David, “Don’t worry, David. The guilty will not escape.”

In Dellmoor, four years later.
