My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 990:

He fixed a stern look on Kody, Reece, and Arion. “Is this some kind of joke? They’ve been walking all over us, and you’ve done nothing! You left everything in the Hinks family’s hands—what have they managed to accomplish? After all this time, no explanations, no respect towards the Morrison family. I’m still here, aren’t I? Carrie has endured so much, and you’ve stood by and done nothing!”

Carrie rose and moved next to Luca, softly pulling at his sleeve to soothe him. “Luca, please, it’s not their fault. They’ve tried to protect me. I haven’t really faced any harm. Let’s not create enemies where we don’t need to. Having more allies is always better than having enemies.”

Luca shot Kody a reproachful look. “Hear that? Carrie always puts the family first. What have you done in her defense?”noveldrama

Arion, unbothered by the scolding, flashed a smile and joked, “Seems like Grandpa only has eyes for Carrie. He never bothers to fuss over me or my brother like that.”

Reece rolled his eyes and muttered, “Speak for yourself. I’m not part of this.”

Gerry, the butler, who had initially announced the arrival of the visitors, was drenched in sweat from the heated exchange. Seeing the momentary calm, he asked, “Should I go tell them we’re not available?”

Carrie, massaging her temples with a slight smile, responded, “You should have simply said no one was home from the start. Who were you announcing it to, anyway? Isn’t that just a complicated way to show we’re avoiding them, possibly causing offense?”

Gerry stumbled over his words.

Luca let out a derisive snort. “Their adopted daughter isn’t shy about causing offense. What does it matter if they know we’re here? We simply don’t want to see them.”

Carrie interjected with a serene expression, wisdom showing beyond her years. “Let’s not sever ties with the Hinks family just yet, Luca. Many in Isonridge would love to see us falter. Alethea acts on her own accord. My dealings with her parents suggest they are decent.”

“It’s only right for parents to defend their child. It would be more troubling if they disowned their daughter to appease us.”

Acknowledging her words, Luca’s gaze softened with respect as he looked at Carrie. “You always think things through, Carrie. You’re as capable as any leader. As I grow older, it’s clear the Morrison family’s future will depend on your generation’s ability to collaborate and flourish.”

He then turned to Gerry. “Please, bring the Hinks family into the living room.”

“Yes.” Gerry nodded and quickly exited to fetch them.

Luca rose to his feet, and Carrie, supporting him, said, “Let’s meet with the Hinks family and hear what they have to propose tonight.”

Carrie had just assisted Luca into the living room when Kelsey and Jacob, accompanied by an assistant bearing gifts, made their entrance. Alethea was notably absent.

“Mr. Luca Morrison,” Kelsey and Jacob extended a polite greeting as they entered, then turned their attention to the others present.

Luca nodded sharply, keeping his composure for Carrie’s sake.

Upon noticing Carrie, a look of guilt briefly marred Kelsey’s expression. She said, “We fully recognize Alethea’s actions. It is with deep regret that we stand before Ms. Campbell and your esteemed family.”
