Chapter 148

Genevieve found herself perched somewhat awkwardly on the sidelines.

She couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an unnecessary third wheel, just hovering int the background.

‘It’s pretty obvious that Kimberly knows that guy sitting next to her. He’s got to be some big-shot CEO or something, Genevieve thought.

For Genevieve, Kimberly had always been someone to look up to, a true role model.

She was aware that Kimberly was a mother to three beautiful children, and there had always been whispers and rumors about who their father might be.

Despite all the gossip, there was never any solid proof or confirmation.

But now, watching Kimberly interact with this man, Genevieve couldn’t help but feel that he seemed like the perfect fit for her.

When it was time to board the plane, Kimberly got up and attempted to heave her suitcase along.

Unexpectedly, Gerald stepped in and took over, pushing her suitcase toward the

passageway,

Kimberly smiled, gathered her belongings, and hastened after him.

Observing this, Genevieve quickly scrambled to keep up with them.

Once on the plane, Kimberly and Gerald were seated together, with Kimberly by the window.

Gerald, taking on the role of the perfect gentleman, effortlessly stowed their luggage in the overhead bin.

He then leaned over Kimberly, pulled the seatbelt across her, and defily fastened it for her.

Kimberly’s eyes widened in a mix of surprise and uncertainty at Gerald’s actions.

She found herself frozen, not resisting but not quite participating either.

Genevieve, sitting behind them, witnessed this scene in astonishment.

It was her first time accompanying Kimberly on a trip, and she suddenly found herself in the midst of a flurry of romantic gestures, straight out of the pages of a novel.

Chapter 148

“Could he be the father of Kimberly’s children, reigniting a long-lost love and now trying to win her back? Genevieve’s imagination ran wild, filled with scenarios from the overbearing romantic novels she had read. ‘Or is this some kind of love-at-first-sight situation? Or maybe…

Gerald continued to display his thoughtfulness. He requested a blanket and a glass of warm water for Kimberly from the flight attendant.

He even advised her against reading during the flight to avoid straining her eyes.

In short, he treated Kimberly as though she were a child, incapable of fully taking care of herself.

Kimberly herself seemed resigned to being treated like a child, a fact made all the more ironic considering that her own child wasn’t subjected to such overbearing care.

Unbeknownst to her, Kimberly was being observed from a corner of the VIP room by a pair of watchful eyes.

It was Christopher.

There were flights available from Norham to Radford, but Christopher had his own reasons for being there. It was an event that attracted the attention of all major groups. However, he harbored a secret hope of encountering Kimberly.

On the way to the airport, a traffic accident led to a fast-forming long queue.

Felix, who was accompanying Christopher on this trip, was visibly anxious throughout the journey.

He couldn’t understand why Christopher had insisted on taking this detour, especially when they could have taken a more direct route.

“You’ve got us stuck in this traffic, and now we might even miss our flight! Felix thought, exasperated.

Fortunately, despite the rush, they made it onto the flight just in time.

The continuous traffic jam seemed to annoy Christopher greatly. Felix hoped that once they boarded the plane, Christopher’s mood would improve.

However, to his surprise, Christopher’s mood seemed to darken even further once he was seated.

Following Christopher’s gaze, Felix noticed Kimberly’s fiancé showering her with

affection.

“This must be hard for Mr. Levine… Felix thought.

Yet, instead of looking away, Christopher continued to stare intently in their direction, deep in thought.

The sight of their interaction felt like thorns pri cking at Christopher.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails left marks on his palms.

Felix, sitting close to Christopher, saw everything. Christopher’s fists were clenched, his veins bulging, his gaze intense-unmistakable signs of his simmering anger.

However, Felix felt helpless in this situation. He couldn’t intervene in matters of the heart, nor could he offer any consolation.

All he could do at that moment was pretend not to notice.

Furthermore, Felix found himself captivated by the girl seated behind Kimberly and Gerald. Her eyes were like clear crystals, captivating in their innocence.

Felix was observing Genevieve, who seemed utterly carefree as Kimberly was under Gerald’s meticulous attention. With headphones on, she appeared to be deeply engrossed in her music.

The flight from Dellmoor to Radford spanned two hours, a duration neither too long

nor too short.

However, for Christopher, time seemed to drag unbearably.

He silently ruminated, ‘How could she just forget our agreement in just a few days?’

Christopher contained his anger, conscious of the public setting.

If not for that, he would’ve surely confronted her.

His thoughts drifted to the man from Mysonna who had declared himself as Kimberly’s fiancé.

ac

‘If he really is Kimberly’s fiancé, why did she agree to a contract with me?’ he thought, perplexed. ‘Could she be two-timing?”

He entertained the notion briefly but dismissed it almost immediately. His e Kimberly wasn’t the type to two-time.

told him

After spending a few days with her, he realized his feelings had become quite intense, but it seemed Kimberly was avoiding him.

The only explanation Christopher could muster after thinking all this through was that Kimberly was merely playing along.

His eyes flashed with anger and jealousy. He squinted, trying to figure out who the man with her was.

Gerald, feeling the weight of a stern gaze, instinctively turned and caught a glimpse of Christopher in the corner.

Calmly, he turned to Kimberly and leaned in closer.

Kimberly frowned and was on the verge of losing her temper.

But Gerald whispered discreetly, “Your ex-husband is watching us. He’s over there at four o’clock.”

Kimberly, surprised, responded, “Christopher? Why would he come to Dellmoor for a flight? It makes no sense when he could’ve flown directly from Norham to Radford.”

She was about to turn and check, but Gerald subtly tilted her head away with his own, cautioning her. “Don’t look now. It could lead to trouble.”

Gerald might not have known Christopher’s past feelings for Kimberly, but he was certain Christopher still had concerns about her.

Kimberly, heeding Gerald’s warning, adjusted her posture, sitting more upright.

Observing Kimberly’s expression, Gerald couldn’t help but smile tenderly. He wondered ‘Is she trying to pretend like she’s just stretching?

To Christopher, who was watching from a distance, Gerald and Kimberly seemed extremely close, almost as if they were sharing a k*ss.

In a sudden burst of emotion, Christopher stood up abruptly, leaving Felix confused. about his sudden agitation.

Just then, a flight attendant passed by and gently reminded him, “Sir, we’ll be landing in Radford soon. Please take your seat and fasten your seat belt.
