My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 89

A series of clattering sounds came at an inappropriate time. Christopher usually disliked this sound the

most.

He found himself already irritable after not gaining any advantages from his visit to Olivia and the

others.

This sound was like a fuse, aggravating the irritation in his heart.

Unable to control his irritation, he furrowed his brows and turned to look in the

direction of the sound.

He saw Ivy rushing to catch up with him.

Ivy was well aware that Christopher disliked the sound of high heels. In fact, everyone in Levine Group

knew that.

In Levine Group, the entire floor of the CEO’s office was furnished with expensive soundproofing

materials, all imported from Zosteylor.

Men’s shoes were not a problem. Even if they were to step heavily on this type of flooring, it would not

produce noise.

However, women had to be more careful. When buying high heels, they must pay attention to the

material and design of the heel.

If anyone accidentally wore an inappropriate pair of shoes to work, she should stay at her office table

as much as possible and avoid walking around. This was to prevent the CEO from confronting her for

her bad choice.

In Christopher’s eyes, Ivy had always been different from others. She was his savior and had been

helping him at Levine Group ever since her return to the country. She had now become the director of

Levine Group’s design department.

Upon noticing Ivy’s embarrassed expression, he realized he had indeed gone too far.

Christopher stopped in his tracks and waited for Ivy to catch up.

Seeing this, Ivy’s mood improved instantly. She was even happier than seeing a rainbow after the rain.

“Christopher, you were walking too fast, and I couldn’t keep up with you. I had to run.” She decided to

explain herself even though she knew Christopher was not going to blame her at all.

Christopher remained silent and said nothing. He just nodded.

When they arrived at the underground garage, they each got into the car separately. Ivy fastened her

seatbelt and glanced to the left.

She could not hold back her feelings. It was as if she was going crazy.

The once-distant long-distance calls now seemed more heartwarming. Even if not particularly sweet,

they were warm enough to comfort her.

However, now that he was right in front of her, it did not feel the same as before.

“The furthest distance is when I am right in front of you, and you do not know that I love you,’ Ivy

thought. This thought kept hovering in her mind.

However, it was not quite accurate.

Christopher had known her feelings for him for a long time.

It was all just her making a fool of herself.

She used to think she had lost to time and distance.

However, it seemed that that was not the case.

She had known him longer than Katherine, and she had also returned early.

“Christopher, your behavior in the restaurant earlier was a bit unusual,” she commented tentatively.

Startled by Ivy’s remark, Christopher hesitated for a moment. Undeniably, his behavior in the restaurant

had indeed been unusual.

He replied nonchalantly, “I was just saying hello to an old friend.”

If Olivia knew that Christopher regarded himself as “an old friend,” she would most probably roll her

eyes.

“I didn’t expect that girl to be the famous Inferno. It’s hard to tell.” This was Ivy’s honest opinion.

However, after saying this, she had second thoughts. ‘Birds of a feather flock together. Katherine and

Olivia; being classmates and best friends… I assume Katherine’s legal skills are also extraordinary!

Kimberly had always been a nightmare for her while growing up. No matter how hard Ivy tried, she

could not compare to Kimberly.

Some people were clearly more talented, yet they still worked so hard, so Ivy had no reason to be lazy

or complacent.

This was why she had been working hard all these years.

Christopher succinctly replied, “Indeed.”

There was not much conversation between them on the way.

In the entire Levine family, Ivy got along well with everyone except Christopher.

Two years ago, Ivy moved out of the Levine manor.

Originally, her plan was to marry into the Levine family. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Unexpectedly, it did not go as she wished.

What was more, Christopher rarely came back home, for he usually stayed at Osimor Residence.

Living in the Levine manor subjected her to various restrictions, so she decided to

move out.

This move also had its advantages.

On weekends, she could use the guise of visiting Maxwell to bring Christopher along.

When they arrived at the Levine manor, Christopher went to play chess with Maxwell.

Maxwell liked to play chess when he had free time, but Lilian did not know how to play. If Heather had

time, she would accompany him for a few rounds.

Therefore, he always hoped that Christopher would come back to play chess and have a heart-to-heart

talk with him.

Ivy naturally accompanied Lilian and Heather to enjoy the cool weather in the yard. It was early

autumn, yet it was still a little warm.

Lilian shook a fan with a blade pattern in her right hand, which was reminiscent of the steel fans of

Kitana from Mortal Kombat.

Ivy took over the fan and carefully fanned Lilian, making her happy.

Maxwell paused for a moment while holding a chess piece halfway in the air. He asked thoughtfully,

“That girl, Ivy, has been infatuated with you for years. You’re eventually going to settle down and start a

family.”

Being pressured into marriage again disrupted Christopher’s thoughts. He was accustomed to making

his own decisions and did not favor the sudden interference, which left him feeling rather displeased.

This was why he was reluctant to visit the Levine manor frequently.

He glanced at Maxwell for a few seconds and then refocused on the chessboard.

Silence was Christopher’s signature move.

Maxwell was a smart man himself, so he naturally understood Christopher’s feelings after seeing his

actions.

“Don’t give her fantasies since you have no intentions. Let’s get it straight. If a woman develops

resentment due to love, it can be disastrous.” It was indeed true that wisdom came with age.

Christopher would realize how prescient Maxwell’s advice was in the future.

Lilian had the habit of taking a nap every day. She would go and take a nap not long after.

Ivy was so bored that she ran to the study and decided to challenge Maxwell to a few games of chess.

Ivy was a diligent girl with talents in various fields, including the five fine arts.

She knew that Maxwell enjoyed playing chess, so she had even taken chess lessons to be able to

bond with him.

As they played, Ivy acted like an advisor to Maxwell, breathing life back into the game whenever it

seemed to be nearing a stalemate.

Deep in thought, Maxwell considered Ivy, realizing that she was a good girl. However, Christopher was

not interested in her.

However, Maxwell had some close friends with children of a similar age to Christopher, and he

wondered if he could be Cupid and help Ivy find a suitable partner.
