My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 667:noveldrama

Kristopher let out a quiet laugh, shaking his head. “That heartless girl,” he muttered under his breath.

Oliver stared at him, stunned. There was no trace of anger in Kristopher’s voice, only a warmth that bordered on amusement.

Terrified that Kristopher might pursue her, Carrie hastened back to the banquet hall.

Reece, observing her agitated expression, placed his object down and approached her, with Daxton trailing close behind.

Extending his hand, Reece gently moved a loose hair from her face. “What’s the hurry?”

Observing her, Daxton’s expression turned into a scowl upon noticing the pristine condition of her suit.

How was it possible that there was no sign of the dragon fruit juice that had drenched her just a short while ago?

“I thought you might be waiting here for me,” Carrie muttered to Reece, her eyes darting across the room, yet the maid from before was nowhere to be seen.

Facing Daxton, she asked, “Have you seen that maid return, Daxton?”

“No, why?” Daxton replied.

Having escaped any serious mishap, and it being her first time attending a party with her cousins, Carrie preferred not to stir up any issues in another’s home.

With a forced grin, she remarked, “It’s nothing…”

“Nothing?” Kristopher burst into the hall, his cold stare scanning the crowd. “Is this the Webster family’s way of hosting? By stealing guests’ attire and locking them in restrooms?”

Carrie, taken aback by Kristopher’s defense, stood rooted to the spot. Their divorce had been finalized; legally, they were no longer connected, so why was he still meddling in her affairs?

If he truly couldn’t move on, sending Lise to jail would have been sufficient, and they might never have divorced.

She had offered him a choice.

Yet, here they stood, faced with the consequences of his decision. What was the purpose of his renewed interest?

Such shallow and deflective excuses were incredibly aggravating!

Marina had barely reached the staircase’s midpoint when Kristopher’s voice halted her. Her heart dropped at the sight of Carrie, impeccably dressed amidst the gathering.

Though Carrie’s makeup had washed away, her appearance was anything but dull; she radiated a simple, genuine beauty.

Marina caught only a fleeting glimpse of Carrie’s allure before turning to make her escape back upstairs.

Kyson, puzzled by Kristopher’s accusations, spotted Marina’s hasty departure. As if a light bulb went off, he looked up sharply and called out, “Marina, where are you off to?”

All eyes in the hall turned toward her direction.
