StartNovelChapter 355:
Belinda curved her lips into a smile, directed at Evelyn, then looked back at Kristopher. “Marriage is a serious
matter. It deserves thoughtful discussion.”
With those words, she began to walk away.
However, as she moved past Kristopher, he unexpectedly seized her wrist. His voice was icy. “Did | give you
permission to leave?”
“Do you expectto stay and listen to you plan your wedding?” Belinda frowned, her muscles tightening as she
tried to pull away. “Kristopher, I'm your ex-wife!”
Though she no longer had feelings for Kristopher, their bond had lasted three years in marriage. They had never
had a formal wedding ceremony or reception. The birthday party Kristopher had promised as a make-up event
had ended in embarrassment. She couldn't just sit quietly and listen to him discuss his upcoming marriage to
another woman.
Kristopher maintained his hold on her wrist. “When did | say we're planning a wedding?”
He gave a gentle pull, drawing Belinda closer to him. Belinda, slight in build, was easily unbalanced by his pull
and stumbled toward him. Her startled cry filled the air as she landed in Kristopher’s embrace. The familiar scent
and warmth of him momentarily made her heart race.
She instinctively looked up, meeting his gaze. Their eyes locked.
Belinda’s eyes showed a mix of surprise at her near fall and relief at being caught. Kristopher’s eyes reflected
concern and something unreadable.
“Ahem!”
The disapproving tone of Evelyn's voice broke their moment. Belinda quickly stepped away from Kristopher’s
embrace.

Overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events, Belinda complied without protest, taking the seat he indicated, her
mind still reeling. Kristopher’s actions were completely unreasonable!
He had pulled her into his arms right in front of Evelyn, who was likely to be his future mother-in-law. Did he not
see how much Cathy had already antagonized her?
“Mrs. Miller.” Kristopher lowered his voice and poured tea for Evelyn. “If you're here merely to discuss the
property in the southern part of the city, | am prepared to continue our conversation. However, if you want to
discuss Cathy's marriage, | see no reason for us to proceed.”
Belinda instinctively turned to look at Kristopher. He spoke with a calmness in his voice and demeanor, as if their
unexpected embrace had never happened.
A pang of disappointment washed
over her, and she lowered her head.
Throughout their three years of
closeness, any intirateohtact
would &t fer heart racing, leaving
her discomposed for hours. In stark
contrast, Kristopher always managed
to regain his composure
immediately, his breath and
heartbeat steady, unaffected. The

She understood that his quick recovery was because he didn’t harbor feelings for her. To her, their moments
together were profound; to him, they were as inconsequential as an accidental bump in a crowded subway.
