My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 178

Olivia was spearing a delectable bite of red velvet cake with a fork.

As she was about to put it in her mouth, she looked up and noticed Kimberly’s eyes were focused

elsewhere.

Following Kimberly’s gaze, Olivia saw Gerald walking toward them, holding a bouquet of roses.

Olivia set the dessert down. Then, she grinned mischievously, nudged Kimberly, and said, “Well, speak

of the devil!”

Of course, Kimberly could see that Olivia was being a nosy onlooker.

With a slight frown, Kimberly kept her gaze steady, and then it landed on the bouquet in Gerald’s

hands.

Suddenly, she remembered the previous rose incident. He had said, “From now on, I’ll personally send

you flowers. You’ll receive one bouquet every day.”

He truly lived up to his name as the CEO of a large corporation. As soon as he arrived in Dellmoor, he

had bought flowers. That simple act alone contributed to the city’s

economy.

After exiting the car, Gerald saw two figures in the medicinal herbs garden.

It was a scene of peaceful serenity. Two elegantly dressed, beautiful woman were by the swing as they

sipped on their coffee, indulged in snacks, and confided in each other.

Gerald had always hoped he could have such genuine friends, too.

He sincerely felt happy for Kimberly.

To Gerald, what he witnessed moments ago was like a real-life version of Damon and Pythias.

He strode gracefully, and in no time, he stood before them.

Gerald then handed the bouquet to Kimberly. In his perception, every kind-hearted girl deserved to

have beautiful flowers.

Gerald was tall, towering at a little over six feet. He hit the gym regularly, sculpting an alluring eight-

pack that charmed countless women, complemented by his long legs.

Although Kimberly was considered tall among girls, she seemed petite next to Gerald.

He looked down, quickly assessing Kimberly, whom he couldn’t help but worry about..

Gerald smiled and thought, ‘Not bad, she looks much better today. She’s got a remarkable ability to

recover on her own. Looks like I’ve underestimated her.

Olivia stood aside, observing their interaction.

She smiled faintly and said inwardly, ‘Coming to the Larson residence today is totally worth it.’

Gerald turned, flashing a gentlemanly smile at Olivia. Then, he extended his hand to introduce himself.

“You must be Olivia, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Gerald Patterson.”

Surprise flashed in Olivia’s eyes, but it quickly turned into delight.

She glanced at Kimberly and smiled meaningfully.

Olivia had not expected that Gerald and Kimberly were so close already.

Otherwise, Kimberly wouldn’t have introduced her to Gerald.

She returned to her senses and extended her hand. “Yes, I’m Olivia. Nice to meet you.”

Their unexpected meeting left Kimberly feeling awkward and somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, Esther noticed a guest had arrived and came over with coffee and some snacks.

“Let’s consider today a little fall adventure,” Kimberly warmly welcomed Gerald.

After sitting for a while, Olivia stood up to leave.

Kimberly grabbed her. “It’s almost mealtime. Are you planning to return to the office for the buffet?”

Olivia pulled Kimberly aside, whispering jokingly, ‘After witnessing Mr. Patterson’s affectionate

gestures, I’ve reached my limit. I can’t eat anymore.”

With that, she chuckled. Olivia then turned to greet Gerald before walking to her car.

Of course, Gerald knew that Olivia was doing it on purpose.

With just the two of them left, Kimberly felt more comfortable.

“Any news?” she asked nervously.

Gerald shook his head.

This individual was cu nning. He was always the one reaching out, not the other way

around.

On that day, Kimberly did reach out to the stalker. However, the conversation was brief, and she

couldn’t locate him before the call was disconnected.

The most frustrating part was that he was exceptionally good at avoiding being tracked.

He had numerous SIM cards. Each time a call ended, he would destroy one.

Nevertheless, Gerald believed that no matter how sly a person was, they would slip up. eventually.

He gestured for Kimberly not to worry too much and suggested increasing security, especially ensuring

the well-being of the three children. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After all, the kids were her weakness. Gerald was sure the scoundrel was aware of that as

well.

He was worried that the evil guy might use the children as leverage. By then, the situation would be

challenging to handle.

If that were the case, Kimberly would be devastated. The pain would be much more unbearable than

any harm she might endure personally.

At this critical moment, taking preventive measures was crucial.

Kimberly nodded, signifying their unspoken agreement on this matter.

Esther approached them after the meal was ready, urging them to eat.

Esther shuttled between the kitchen and the dining room. Unlike usual, she sensed that the Larson

residence gave off a lively vibe that day.

Although Gerald was the guest at the dining table, he ate as if he were the host. On the contrary,

Kimberly seemed like the guest.

Esther felt that Gerald had become the owner of the Larson residence.

This man isn’t too bad. He’s good-looking, and most importantly, he cares for others, Esther

commented inwardly.

After all, Kimberly rarely brought men home.

Apart from her five brothers and Frederick, who often visited, Gerald was an exception.

Kimberly loved seafood. Thus, very gentlemanly and professionally, Gerald removed fish bones and

peeled prawns for her.

At that moment, John walked over. He, too, witnessed the sweet and affectionate scene.

He was curious and gossipy.

John waved, signaling for Esther to come out.

“Who is this man? Why do I feel like there will be a celebration at the Larson residence soon?” he

asked.

John’s imagination was wilder.

Esther shushed John, asking him not to be so loud..

Nevertheless, she couldn’t resist gossiping. Esther glanced toward the dining room before saying,

“That might happen.”

After Esther said that, Kimberly’s voice sounded. “Esther, the lentil soup today is delicious. Is there

more? Please get me another bowl.”

She never deprived herself when it came to food.

She wasn’t like other girls who controlled their food intake to maintain their figure.

As long as Kimberly liked it, she would have as much as she wanted.

Esther hurriedly replied, “Yes, there is. I’ll bring it to you

now.”

Christopher was in the office during his lunch break.

Then, Felix knocked at the door.

“Come in.” Christopher wasn’t taking a nap. Instead, he was reviewing some important documents.

It turned out there was news from Dellmoor.

Felix didn’t dare to delay. Whenever it was about Kimberly, he had to report it promptly, no matter the

time.

“Mr. Levine, there’s feedback from Dellmoor…” Felix then carefully reported all the details that

Christopher wanted to know.

Right then, Felix rubbed his temples, thinking, “They do face everything together. Can this be

considered as going through thick and thin together?’

Kimberly’s challenges in her own company were similar to Christopher’s.

Christopher’s gaze turned icy, and a cold aura radiated from him.

Felix continued reporting from his position while observing Christopher clenching his fists, veins

bulging.
