My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Meanwhile, Lise, wearing an oversized suit jacket, flashed a smile, reaching out to clasp his hand as they departed together.

Carrie’s eyes were glued to the screen, her gaze intense and unblinking as she absorbed the image before her.

There he was—Kristopher Norris!noveldrama

The suit jacket draped carelessly over Lise was a dead giveaway.

Every piece of clothing Kristopher owned had been meticulously tailored by a master craftsman abroad, a detail Carrie knew all too well.

Her grip on her phone tightened, her knuckles blanching to a stark white, as if her very soul were being squeezed by an invisible hand, the pain sharp and acid-like in its intensity.

In her most desperate moment, Kristopher had coldly disconnected their call, choosing instead to be at Lise’s side.

What was the worth of their two-year marriage?

The tears Carrie had been holding back now overwhelmed her, streaming down her face.

Even as she tilted her head back in a futile attempt to stem the flow, the tears continued to fall.

Lise had always been Kristopher’s first love, a fact whispered and gossiped about among their circles.

The Norris family had never approved of Lise, viewing her ordinary background as unworthy of their son.

Forced apart by family pressures, it had been Lise who ended things, but it seemed the past was not easily left behind.

Kristopher had diligently pursued the leadership of the Norris family, harboring dreams of finally being with Lise.

Yet, when he achieved his goal, he discovered that Lise had already chosen another.

In defiance of his family’s expectations—and perhaps out of bitterness—Kristopher turned to Carrie, a woman equally lacking in wealth or status, to become Mrs. Norris, blocking any further matchmaking attempts by his relatives.

At that time, Carrie had been under immense pressure from her father, Tristan Campbell, who was pushing her toward a marriage with a playboy, the son of a business associate, to cover her grandmother’s steep medical expenses.

Both Kristopher and Carrie, driven by their own motives, consented to a marriage of convenience.

Initially set for just one year, their contractual marriage had extended beyond its term, sustained by a shared understanding between them.

Over time, Carrie began to believe in the authenticity of their union, never suspecting that it was merely an extension of her own hopes.

Just moments ago, a fire had nearly claimed Carrie’s life.

In that critical moment, she had reached out to Kristopher, only to be rebuffed twice as he spent his time with Lise.

This harsh reality shattered Carrie’s illusions, revealing that her perceived transition from pretense to a genuine relationship was nothing but a facade maintained by her own desires.

Carrie wasn’t even a temporary substitute in Kristopher’s life but merely a pawn used to spite his family.
