My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 621:noveldrama

The Morrison family observed the interaction, their impressions of Daxton positive. Yet, they were mindful of Carrie’s history and struggles. To them, her happiness mattered above all else. Whether she married or not was secondary. The Morrison family had the means to support her unconditionally, for a lifetime if need be.

Two days later.

Norris Group.

Oliver strode into the office, a spring in his step as he delivered the news. “Mr. Norris, the AR project in Isonridge is nearly finalized. Once the contract is signed tomorrow, we can move to production.”

“Isonridge?” Kristopher echoed, his attention snapping to the mention of the location. His expression shifted subtly, betraying a deeper thought.

Oliver paused, slightly puzzled, but answered honestly. “Yes. The partner company, Waterway Technology, is based in Isonridge. They were one of the first companies in Mothor to explore the AR field…”

Kristopher interrupted abruptly, his voice cutting through Oliver’s explanation. “Is Carrie in Isonridge now?”

Oliver quickly pieced it together. “Yes, the trainees from Mrs. Norris’s company are heading to Isonridge for performance classes. Mrs. Norris and Miss Nixon are accompanying them,” he said, his tone measured.

Kristopher did not bother to correct Oliver’s choice of address. Instead, he replied with calm indifference, “I will personally sign the AR project contract. Go and pack my luggage.”

“Understood,” Oliver answered, though he sighed inwardly. It was disheartening, almost pitiable, how much Kristopher still cared for Mrs. Norris, even after the divorce. To Kristopher, she remained the wife he recognized, the only one he truly acknowledged.

Who could say? Perhaps traveling to Isonridge and seeing her might soften her heart.

Norris Mansion

Kristopher’s apartment was under renovation, so he had returned to the family mansion temporarily.

As Oliver carried Kristopher’s suitcase inside, Billie noticed him. Her tone was casual, but her curiosity was evident. “Where are you headed?”

Oliver gave a fleeting glance toward Kristopher before replying simply, “Mr. Norris is going to Isonridge to sign a contract.”

Billie frowned, a shadow of skepticism crossing her face. “What kind of contract demands your personal attention?”

Kristopher, already changing into slippers, replied with an air of detachment. “In this digital age, projects like AR and the metaverse are uncharted territory for us. It is only natural I give them closer attention.”

“Kristopher, do not overwork yourself,” Lise interjected, her voice soft but laced with an undertone of concern. She was well aware that Kristopher no longer held any warmth for her. Her only ally now was Billie.

After Kristopher and Carrie divorced, Shawn and Melany had expressed their disapproval of Billie’s interference but had chosen to avoid confrontation by retreating to Pinecrest for a while.

With the elders gone, Lise had taken full advantage, frequenting the Norris Mansion as though she were a cherished daughter of the family.

Kristopher, on the other hand, had immersed himself in work, often staying late at the office or at hotels to avoid the mansion entirely. Now, as his gaze landed on Lise for the first time in weeks, his expression hardened. He did not spare her a single word as he brushed past her.
