My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 793:

“Come on, today marks Carrie’s return. Let’s not focus too much on this,” Reece said, masking his mixed feelings as he tapped Arion on the shoulder and moved ahead with his drink.

Meanwhile, Kristopher was unaware of Aliza’s whereabouts, his gaze fixed on Carrie in the middle of the crowd.

A subtle smile played on Carrie’s lips, radiant like the early rays of the sun breaking over a snow-capped mountain.

He felt an unexplained discomfort. He couldn’t pinpoint why Carrie mattered so much to him.

Perhaps it was because he thought she deserved better than the company of these men.

After all, Carrie was once his wife.

Though he couldn’t remember their shared past, he had recently reviewed his finances and realized he had transferred a substantial amount of assets to her following their divorce.

The sum was comparable to the fortunes of many families here. He couldn’t understand why Carrie, a woman with so much potential and wealth, would settle for being just another option among these men. She was beyond help, he thought. No amount of money could change her need to hold on to men.

Their eyes met. Kristopher’s lips curled into a half-smile—mocking, cold.

The disdain in his gaze made something in Carrie’s chest tighten, anger burning beneath her skin. She should have walked away. But she couldn’t. Not this time.

Even if he had amnesia, what right did he have to look at her like this? To treat her like she was nothing? Why was she always the one hurting?

Lifting her chin defiantly, she met his stare head-on.

“Mr. Norris, you couldn’t wait to get engaged to someone else right after our divorce. So what’s wrong with me thinking about my own future?” Her voice was steady, but inside, she was trembling.

“You can have it all, but I’m not even allowed to think about myself? You get to move on, have endless romances, but I’m supposed to be alone?”

Kristopher took a few strides forward, closing the space between them.

Towering over her, he looked down at her as if she was being unreasonable.

“Is this how you handle relationships?” His voice was low, edged with something unreadable.

“Everyone here today is looking for a marriage that’s a perfect match, a powerful union. Don’t tell me you didn’t see that.”

Carrie let out a quiet scoff.

“So what if I did?” She met his gaze, unwavering.noveldrama

“I’m your ex-wife, Kristopher. Since when does anyone get to control their ex-wife’s love life?” Then, without waiting for his response, she turned to leave.

But his hand caught her wrist, gripping tight. His fingers burned against her skin.
