My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 39



Chapter 39

lvy was alone abroad and had silently endured all those years.

She was waiting for her chance.

Her intuition told her that with the divorce of Christopher and Katherine and the sending of Kiara abroad, her time had finally come.

Christopher doted on her, but she didn’t think it was enough.

She did not want to be seen by Christopher as a sister. She wanted to be the lady of the Levine family.

Initially, her intention was to leverage that rationale to help him secure the exclusive distribution right for “LOVE,” giving her a perfectly justifiable reason to return.

Unexpectedly, Christopher had refused her help.

She was determined not to let that opportunity sl*p away quietly after lying dormant for so long.

So she decided to take the initiative and act first before informing him..

Ivy was undoubtedly a smart and scheming girl.

When she returned to Norham, she did not contact Christopher. Instead, she went straight to the Levine manor.

Maxwell and Lilian liked Ivy very much because she was the savior of their grandson.

The two elders were in tears when Ivy said she missed them and snuck back to visit.

Ivy was worried that returning alone might irritate Christopher.

She decided to take the opportunity to seek Maxwell and Lilian’s support when she saw that they were happy about her return.

She fawned over Lilian. “Mrs. Levine, I’ve wanted to come back to visit you both for a long time, but Christopher wouldn’t allow me. He insisted that I must complete my studies before returning.”

She added, “But learning is not something that happens overnight. How can I bear to be away from my family for such an extended period?”

Ivy was really good at talking. She emphasized that they were a family with every sentence she uttered.

Maxwell and Lilian were still dissatisfied with their grandson, even though Katherine’s incident was over.

At the same time, another girl complained next to them, coincidentally expressing the same unhappiness they both felt. They instantly connected.

Heather, who was sitting beside her, was also very kind to Ivy. She basically regarded Ivy as her own daughter.

She even thought it would be a good thing if Ivy could marry her son.

At Lilian’s words, Ivy had a feeling that she had gained certain privileges and that Christopher would not hold her responsible.

As expected, the squeaky wheel got the grease.

The Levine family loved Katherine as well, though not quite as much as they loved Ivy.

However, Katherine and Ivy were on two different paths.

Katherine’s kindness toward the Levine family was genuine, unspoken, and selfless.

In contrast, Ivy’s kindness to the family was intentional, direct, and audacious. Maxwell couldn’t wait to stand up for Ivy, so he called Felix.

“Ask Mr. Levine to come back early tonight.” Maxwell hung up after saying that, leaving it unclear what the matter was.

Felix held the phone and was baffled.

He felt deeply distressed. Without a valid reason, he was uncertain about how to convey the message to Christopher.

He didn’t know how to respond if Christopher asked about the reason for the early

return.

Ever since Christopher’s divorce, Felix had found himself between a rock and a hard place, torn between Christopher and Maxwell.

He had no choice but to brace himself and walk toward the CEO’s office.

“Mr. Levine, Mr. Maxwell Levine just called and asked you to come back early after work today.”

Felix stood there and paused for a moment. He was ready to be questioned by Christopher.

“Got it,” Christopher replied.

Felix was taken aback that Christopher didn’t inquire further, so he hurriedly left the

office.

Christopher was familiar with his Grandpa Maxwell’s temperament. He was such a hothead. He likely hung up the phone even before Felix could ask.

After work, Christopher drove to the Levine manor.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard laughter inside. He thought there must have been some guests at home.

As soon as he entered the living room, Ivy immediately hid behind Lilian, looking guilty.

When Lilian saw that, she couldn’t help but say, “You brat, come here. Your bullying has caused Ivy to do this. When she sees you, it’s like a mouse encountering a cat.”

Christopher thought, ‘No wonder the house is so lively. I should have known that only Ivy could make them so happy.

This girl is really shrewd. She’s afraid that I will scold her, so she finds Grandpa. Maxwell and Grandma to back her up.

Previously, when Ivy met Christopher, she would have clung to him like a koala.

Truth be told, she hadn’t come back for a long time after going abroad for several years.

When Ivy heard that Lilian was standing up for her, she was very happy. The whole family was on her side, making Christopher look like a bad person.

However, Ivy didn’t want the person she loved to be embarrassed by her.

She hurriedly smoothed things over and shook Lilian’s arm. “Mrs. Levine, you have misunderstood Christopher. He has always taken good care of me. He did it for my own. good. He hopes I can complete my studies as soon as possible so that I can come back and help him. That’s actually my wish, too.”

At that moment, everyone’s attention was centered on Ivy. Lilian didn’t say anything as Ivy stood up for Christopher.

Besides, she didn’t have the heart to scold her own grandson. Last time, she even had quarreled with Maxwell because he had been too strict on Christopher.

Chapter 39

Maxwell had long ago put the previous disagreement with his grandson behind him. His urgency in reaching out to Christopher wasn’t just because he hadn’t seen him for several days and missed him deeply. However, he felt uneasy about directly asking for Christopher’s return and was also understanding of the significant workload and pressure Christopher was under.

Maxweil seized the opportunity today and reached out to Christopher so that the house wouldn’t feel so desolate.

He had always hoped that she and Christopher would have children as soon as possible when Katherine was around.

Children would bring a livelier atmosphere to the house.

The Levine family’s business was extensive and had a strong foundation. In his youth, Maxwell had focused solely on his career and hadn’t had more children. Now he regretted it.

Therefore, he wished for Christopher to have children soon, allowing him to relish a contented life in his later years.

Wherever Christopher went, Ivy’s gaze followed. He had grown more mature and appealing after a few years apart.

She understood that Christopher treated her kindly and considered her a sister after spending a considerable amount of time with him. However, that wasn’t the kind of relationship she yearned to have with him..

When she heard that he got married to Katherine while she was abroad, she was stunned and even wanted to die.

Christopher eventually married someone else after years of her efforts.

At that time, she felt as if she had sunk into the depths of the ice, and she even wondered if she could endure the despair any longer.

While dinner was still being prepared in the kitchen, Maxwell invited Christopher to play chess with him.

Ivy wanted to follow, but she knew it would be inappropriate.

So she joined Lilian and Heather to chat in the living room, sharing what she had seen and heard abroad.

The room was filled with a warm atmosphere, with laughter and moments of joy from time to time.
