My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 98:

And yet, Kailee couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy. If she had the chance to stand beside someone like Albin, she’d cling to it with both hands. Despite her superior background, she had never had the chance to enter a relationship.

Carrie, unfazed, shrugged lightly. “Have I ever so much as touched the Norris family’s wealth for myself?”

Kailee hesitated. She knew the answer but couldn’t admit it. Refusing to back down, she fired her last shot. “Do you really mean it? You don’t love Kristopher anymore?”

Carrie’s expression hardened, her voice steady and cold. “No, I don’t. Love is a luxury, and not everyone is worth the cost.”

Kristopher approached, concerned Kailee might be harassing Carrie. Instead, he discovered Carrie confidently declaring her emotional detachment. He felt like a fool.

Carrie now resembled a defensive cat, prepared to scratch anyone who threatened her.

She would no longer suffer in silence.

Rage burning beneath his calm exterior, Kristopher spoke coldly. “Carrie, bad habits are easily acquired, but good ones require dedication. You’ve achieved nothing, yet you speak such nonsense. Marriage transcends love—it’s about responsibility.”

Soren, sensing the escalating tension, intervened. “Mr. Norris, this is a public space. Choose your words carefully. If paparazzi capture any negative remarks about my lead actress, I’ll hold you accountable.” His meaningful glance carried a clear warning. “Moreover, it’s quite inappropriate for a man to berate a woman publicly.”

Kristopher’s eyes darkened as he positioned himself protectively—or possessively—in front of Carrie. “I’m addressing my wife. What business is this of yours?”

Soren ignored Kristopher’s claim and turned to Carrie. “I apologize for tonight’s complications. Allow me to take you home.”

Just as Carrie appeared ready to accept, Kristopher seized her wrist. “You’re coming home with me.”

Carrie paused, her gaze shifting between Soren and Kristopher.

Carrie finally turned to Kristopher, her voice steady yet sharp as a blade. “Mr. Norris, kindly remember where you are and act accordingly.”

Once upon a time, her gaze had been a canvas of warmth and affection, painting vivid strokes of deep, unspoken love whenever her eyes met his. Now, it was as if winter had settled permanently in her eyes—cold, barren, and unyielding, leaving no trace of the man she once cherished.

Kristopher froze for a moment, feeling as though something precious had slipped through his fingers, lost to the winds of time.noveldrama

Taking advantage of his silence, Carrie gently freed her hand from his grasp. Without a backward glance, she strode away with Soren, her steps resolute, her decision clear.

Billie approached Kristopher, her exasperation palpable. “He’s compromised the Norris family’s reputation for Carrie’s sake, and you still doubt there’s something between them? Do you require catching them in a compromising moment to be convinced? My patience with you has reached its absolute limit,” she scolded, her words sharp and unforgiving.

Kristopher remained silent, his gaze fixed on the now-empty doorway through which Carrie and Soren had disappeared. A single, haunting question echoed in his mind: Was there truly something brewing between Carrie and Soren?

Seeing Kristopher’s unresponsive demeanor, Billie huffed in frustration and turned to Kailee. “Kailee, come home with me,” she declared.
