My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 177

Candice felt very helpless. Adult stuff was far too complicated. There was a lot that she wanted to do

but couldn’t.

However, her dear Mommy was bullied and she couldn’t pretend that she didn’t know

about it.

Christopher on the other end of the phone was confused and thought he had misheard something.

“Candice, did you say that Mommy got bullied by someone?*

It was almost school time and Kimberly was already downstairs yelling out at the top of her voice.

“Candice, hurry up. We’re going to be late.”

Dexter and Sebastian were in a hurry. They didn’t want to be late.

In their kindergarten, the children who arrived on time got red sign-in cards, and those who were late

got green ones.

“Candice,” one of the brothers called out.

Candice… Candice Larson, hurry up!” the other hollered.

Dexter and Sebastian took turns calling out to Candice, switching between her name and full name.

With the bursts of shouting, Candice felt more and more stressed.

She lowered her voice. “Daddy, I’m going to kindergarten,’ she said anxiously and with

urgency.

After saying that, she quickly clicked the end call button on her pink phone.

Christopher was still lost. When he wanted to ask for more details, he heard the busy

tone.

Christopher didn’t give up and yelled out a few times. “Candice. Candice? Candice!”

However, Candice had hung up the phone and was getting in the car.

Kimberly blamed Candice. ‘Candice, you should have a better sense of time. It’s impolite to keep

others waiting for so long like you did today.”

Candice smiled sheepishly. “Alright, Mommy,” she answered kittenishly.

She voluntarily admitted her mistake and did not find any excuse to shirk responsibility.

07:00 Thu, 1 Feb uu.

It was so early in the morning and Christopher had already received a sudden random message that

was so unclear.

He frowned and began pacing up and down the living room with the phone in his hand.

The easiest way to get clarity was to call Kimberly and ask her what was going on.

Christopher paused, struggling to find his words.

‘Kimberly, what happened to you

What happened?’ Several openierday? Kimberly, Candice said you met a bad guy.

“Felix, send someone to find out if there was anything big that happened at Larson Corporation

yesterday.” In the end, Christopher called his assistant

If something big happened at Larson Corporation, Levine Group employees who were stationed there

should know.

Felix didn’t ask too much. He would just do as Christopher said. “Alright, Mr. Levine.”

Christopher was no longer in the mood to continue reading the newspaper. He put it on the dining

table, picked up his car keys, and left.

After Kimberly was done sending Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice to kindergarten, she didn’t go to the

company.

She was frightened and prepared to rest at home for a day.

After going to work, Olivia was shocked to her core after hearing about the danger Kimberly faced.

She was really scared for her. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

She hurriedly rushed to Kimberly’s office.

It was empty.

The administrative assistant told her that Kimberly would not be coming in today.

Olivia assumed roughly that Kimberly was in the Larson residence, but she didn’t call

to confirm.

17:09

She drove to their favorite dessert shop.

During their university days, whenever they were unhappy or something bad. happened, they liked to

eat dessert together.

tor

That was their secret recipe to relieve stress and anxiety.

Olivia bought some of Kimberly’s favorite desserts and drove to the Larson residence.

Kimberly was dressed in a haze-blue tulle dress and rocking in the swing set in the medicinal herbs

garden.

There was sadness in her eyes.

Although she was feeling blue, with her beauty, she still resembled a fairy who fell to

the earth.

Kimberly liked to wear dresses. She thought that women in dresses appeared very feminine.

However, she seldom wore dresses at work and often wore a professional suit.

She believed that the clothes she wore should depend on the occasion.

She thought that in the workplace, suits made a person look powerful and this energy could influence

others.

Today, she did nothing but choose a dress she liked and breathed fresh air in the medicinal herbs

garden.

She emptied her mind and did nothing.

After Olivia got out of the car, she caught a glimpse of Kimberly’s somber figure.

She took the bag of desserts and walked to her.

They smiled at each other and Olivia hugged Kimberly.

Then, she put the dessert bag on a stone table by the swing.

She put the tempting desserts on the stone table one by one.

This was the sense of ceremony that belonged only to them.

They chatted while enjoying the desserts.

Olivia asked with concern, “Has that man been arrested?”

She was worried that the bad guy would come back for Kimberly.

E

Kimberly nodded slightly in response.

Nevertheless, it turned out there was a mastermind behind this whole thing.

Olivia’s heart rate, which had just begun slowing in relief, began to quicken again.

After hearing the whole story, Olivia was full of praise for Gerald.

“This man, Gerald, doesn’t seem too bad. Looks like you’re really into him. How about it? Why don’t

you consider being with him? That way, you can turn the page on Christopher forever.” Olivia’s words

were based on facts and her own experience.

Long before, Jaxon had been her nightmare.

Over the years, many men pursued her.

However, she couldn’t let go of feelings from her previous relationship.

It was not until Vincent came into her life that everything changed.

It was getting better.

She sincerely hoped that Kimberly could experience a good change like that too.

Kimberly fell into deep thought recalling the time she spent with Gerald yesterday.

She had to admit that Gerald’s appearance in such a situation made her feel at

Since leaving Christopher, she had been uninterested in love.

She made herself strong.

With her brothers doting on her and the company of her three little children, she felt like she could do

anything.

However, after yesterday’s incident, she saw her vulnerability.

She knew that she was not only a “Queen” in everyone’s eyes, but also a woman.

They sat in the garden together for a long time.

Thanks to Olivia’s company, Kimberly felt much better.

Otherwise, she would have thought about it again.

She had to find out the person behind it as soon as possible.

The man did not succeed in completing what he had planned but she was worried that there would be

a second or third time.

07:09 Thu, 1 Feb uu.

She was more concerned about whether that person would turn his attention to the people she cared

about instead like her three children.

It was obvious that they were her weakness.

She had talked to John, Esther, and Anderson this morning.

“We must be more vigilant these days, especially on the safety of the three children. We should not

take it lightly,” she brought up sternly.

At around eleven o’clock, a Rolls-Royce pulled into the yard.

The car had come to the Larson residence before so the gatekeeper let the car in right away today.

Kimberly frowned and wondered to herself, “Who would visit me at this time?”

Her eyes followed the direction of the sound and an extraordinary figure walked out of the car.
