My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 181

E

In stark contrast to Jaxon’s turmoil, Isabella embodied the image of a blushing, excited bride.

Taking wedding photos was one of the most crucial moments for a woman.

Although the original schedule slated the photography session for two o’clock in the afternoon, Isabella

arrived eagerly by 1:30 p.m. at the photo studio. She was too anxious

to wait.

A supervisor greeted her enthusiastically, “Ms. Jennings, we have prepared various wedding dress

styles and suits for you in advance. We can begin when the groom is

here.”

Glancing at her luxurious watch, Isabella realized there were still 20 minutes until Jaxon’s arrival.

A hint of worry lingered within her, fearing that Jaxon might have regretted their

marriage.

Jaxon had always seemed so indifferent while she was the one putting in all the effort.

Smiling politely at the supervisor, she said, “Alright, thank you.”

Just to put her mind at ease, Isabella stepped away to call Jaxon.

After a few rings, he answered.

“Jaxon, you’re coming for the photo shoot this afternoon, right?” Isabella asked with at mix of shyness

and urgency.

At this time, Jaxon was driving. “Yes, I’m on my way,” he replied.

Finally feeling reassured, Isabella began browsing the wedding dresses. She chose a figure-hugging

fishtail style with a shoulder-baring neckline that perfectly accentuated her proportions.

With the supervisor’s help, she slipped on the wedding dress. Jaxon was walking into the studio when

Isabella came out.

His gaze lifted to meet the figure in that sacred white dress.

The supervisor showered Isabella with compliments. “Ms. Jennings, you look amazing in this wedding

dress. It feels like it was made for you. There is no need for adjustment. It fits you perfectly,” the

supervisor gushed. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Isabella was so flattered by the compliments. She then instinctively turned to the

entrance and saw Jaxon stand rooted to the ground.

She became overjoyed.

“Jaxon, do you like it?” she asked. Her eyes were eagerly seeking a compliment.

Lost in his thoughts, Jaxon was abruptly snapped back to the present. He nodded in response to her

question.

In truth, the moment he stepped in, the dress had captivated him completely, not for its beauty or style

but for the memories it evoked.

Many years ago, when money was tight, Jaxon often took Olivia window-shopping.

Once, they passed by a famous bridal shop, and in the display window were wedding dresses almost

identical to what Isabella was wearing now.

Back then, Olivia lost in a daze as she gazed longingly at the wedding dress. That look had stayed with

him until this very day,

When Jaxon first came in just now, it felt like he had traveled back in time.

The bride before him transformed into that wistful Olivia in the past.

Sensing the tension, the supervisor skillfully interjected, “Did you see? The groom’s captivated! Ms.

Jennings, you are one lucky woman.”

However, Jaxon’s distracted look had not escaped her notice either. Isabella’s face could not help but

blush slightly at the supervisor’s playful remark.

Blake, a man of efficiency, wasted no time as soon as he landed. His first move was to call Christopher.

In a teasing tone, Blake asked, “Are you sure you’re not coming to Dellmoor?”

Blake could not quite fathom Christopher’s approach to the situation.

Typically, when someone he cared about was involved, Christopher’s response would be to rush to

their side.

subsidiary is about to go

Christopher explained, “I can’t leave these time. Once things settle down

public, and I can’t afford to be away during

here, I’ll come over. Meanwhile, keep an eye on them and make sure they’re safe.”

Hearing that, Blake suddenly grasped the reasons behind Christopher’s decision.

Blake pushed his luggage and took a cab to a top-notch hotel in Dellmoor that he had booked for

himself.

Pulling out his laptop, Blake started a meticulous search on Kimberly.

However, beyond routine business records, there was surprisingly little personal information available

online about her.

As Blake looked at Kimberly’s photos, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He immediately believed that she

was a perfect match for Christopher.

Yet, a sudden realization sparked a pang of remorse in Blake for his friend’s blindness. The latter had

failed to cherish this precious person who had been by his side for two years. She was so close yet

overlooked. Christopher had even resorted to using Kiara to drive her away in disgust.

Moving on, Blake began gathering useful information about Kimberly’s recent distressful situation.

He hacked into the stalker’s phone records and performed a technical analysis on the fragments of

intercepted phone calls.

The conclusion was evident-the culprit was cu nning, and what had unfolded was a premeditated

crime.

Blake now understood Christopher’s anxiety.

Dealing with a hidden enemy was tricky indeed.

It seemed he had to explore alternative approaches.

Since the enemy’s lair had been disturbed, they were unlikely to surface anytime soon.

Nevertheless, Kimberly appeared to be temporarily safe.

Protecting the children was a priority while probing deeper.

To Blake’s astonishment, he discovered traces of Curtis’ involvement in this incident.

As an industry insider, he knew Curtis worked for Patterson Finance Group. Nevertheless, he could not

comprehend how the latter had become linked to harming Kimberly.

This left Blake with more questions than answers.

got a few

He called Christopher and immediately got to the point. He said, “I’ve questions. I’m not sure if you

have the answers. Do you have any idea who Kimberly and your enemies are?”

Puzzled, Christopher asked, “How are my enemies connected to Kimberly’s danger?”

With a hearty laugh, Blake replied, “You don’t quite get it. Maybe your enemies have figured out that

Kimberly is your weakness and want to target you through her.”

This new angle came after his routine attempts had failed to provide a clue.

Also, Blake had worked with similar situations, dealing with women skilled at using covert methods.

“Take your time to recall them, especially your past entanglements with women,” he reminded

Christopher.

Then, he added, “Also, I found something strange. Curtis Spencer from Patterson. Finance Group is

also investigating this matter.

The mention of Patterson Finance Group felt like steel needles piercing Christopher into a realization.

He was lost in contemplation. He never expected that Gerald would be interested in Kimberly’s affairs.

His pupils subconsciously tightened as he wondered, ‘Who could have informed Gerald. about this? If it

weren’t for Candice, I would have been in the dark completely. Did Kimberly get close to Gerald and

share everything with him?”

Growing impatient with Christopher’s distraction. Blake yelled, “Christopher! What’s going on in your

head? What are your thoughts on this? It seems your ex-wife’s charm is quite something”

Blake’s accuracy left Christopher deeply rattled.

“Find out Gerald Patterson’s whereabouts. Check if he’s in Dellmoor, Christopher demanded.
