My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 196

Christopher sneered and muttered, “Wow. It’s only been one day, and he’s already so happy.”

In fact, he was like the pot calling the kettle black. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Although he was in Norham, his mind was already in Dellmoor.

He was in charge of all matters at Levine Group. As long as a few people were capable and could be in

charge, he wouldn’t have to endure the pain of yearning.

As soon as Felix got home, he sneezed twice consecutively.

He walked to the dining table, took two pieces of tissues, and wiped his nose.

He frowned and muttered to himself thoughtfully, “Could it be that I caught the flu?”

Recently, the flu season was quite severe. Some of his friends caught the flu one after another. ‘Am I

the next one?’ he wondered.

However, he then thought it was not so bad to get sick, as he could take a rest.

He was tired these days, and the workload was so intense. He couldn’t help but admire. Christopher’s

energy.

As an assistant, he obviously felt a little overwhelmed.

In the past few days, he felt like he had completed a month’s tasks.

More importantly, it wasn’t even a particular period, such as midyear or the end of the

year.

If this continued until the end of the year, he would be devastated.

Felix felt a shiver down his spine.

His body trembled.

He was sure Christopher wouldn’t let him rest, even if he got sick.

He remembered clearly when Christopher had a high fever of around 100 degrees last. month; the

latter still insisted on holding meetings and assigning work to his employees.

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to go to the cabinet and take out the medical kit.

He took out a vitamin tablet, took a glass, and filled it with hot water.

He thought it was better to take precautions so he wouldn’t have to work miserably and have no one to

take care of him despite being sick.

Felix sighed and uttered, “Well, it’s time to find a wife. I’m so sad and miserable being alone. The next

time I meet that girl, I’ll pluck up the courage and confess my feelings.”

He meant Genevieve.

When he met Genevieve the last time he accompanied Christopher on a business trip to Radford, he

was pretty fond of her.

However, it was a business trip, so he had to do many things by himself. He was like a pawn who didn’t

have his own private time.

He missed such a great opportunity.

Undoubtedly, if one wanted to achieve something, one must have luck on their side..

Felix seemed a little pitiful at that moment.

He finally fell in love with a girl at first sight.

However, he didn’t know that she already had someone else.

Felix picked up the glass of brown liquid, tilted his head, and drank it in one go.

As soon as he put down the glass, his phone suddenly rang.

The familiar melody rang so many times a day.

It was none other than Christopher.

He finally got to get off work early. After drinking the vitamin drink, he was about to have a good rest.

It seemed that he got excited for nothing.

Felix recomposed himself and answered the phone in a very professional tone, “Hello, Mr. Levine.”

There was no emotion in Christopher’s tone as he began assigning the tasks.

“Gather the department heads tomorrow morning at nine to discuss the project again. Add the

proposals we discussed in the afternoon tonight and give everyone a copy at the meeting tomorrow,,

ordered Christopher.

Felix listened carefully. He felt bitter when Christopher asked him to work tonight.

205 FM, 2 Feb

‘Why is there so much work to do?’ he thought.

He smiled bitterly. It seemed that vitamin drink just now had turned into coffee to keep. him awake and

full.

Felix was unhappy in his heart, but he dared not say it, pretended to be pumped up, and replied, “Sure,

Mr. Levine. I’ll arrange and revise the materials right away.”

Before hanging up the phone, Christopher seemed to have found his conscience.

Realizing he had been giving Felix so much work recently, he said warmly, “You’ve worked hard. I’ll

give you a bonus this month.”

After hanging up the phone, Felix exclaimed inwardly, “What’s the point of giving a bonus? I have to

work so much every day, and I don’t even have time to go out and meet women. Mr. Levine, if you

really want to solve my problem, you should reward me with a wife!

However, he was simply roasting.

That was how professional assistants usually were..

One second, he wanted to resign, but the next moment, he started drafting seriously.

It was another night of burning the midnight oil.

It was Maxwell’s first time picking up the three children from kindergarten.

He was looking forward to it.

He was so excited to the point that he hurried to hang up on Christopher when the latter called him.

“That brat is being so obvious. Firstly, he said he was worried about me going to a new place. Like I’ll

believe him. Secondly, he was acting weird and kept calling me,’ he thought.

Maxwell knew that if something was wrong.

Christopher wanted to inquire about Kimberly and the children, but he was too embarrassed to call her

himself and wanted to get information from Maxwell.

Maxwell didn’t give Christopher a chance because he disliked his method.

‘He made himself look like a girl getting married for the first time. Look at him cowering, Maxwell

exclaimed inwardly.

It was not like what the Levine family members would do at all.

Maxwell retorted in his heart, “He’s acting like a coward. He doesn’t even know someone is taking his

wife away. He certainly doesn’t live up to the family name. What is he even good at?”

He even laughed at himself and thought, ‘Could it be Christopher doesn’t sound domineering enough? I

should have named him something else back then.”

Maxwell led the three children into the living room and saw Kimberly coming down from the second

floor.

The three children were very excited and took turns saying, “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. Great-grandpa

picked us up today.”

Kimberly raised her eyes and looked at Maxwell. She greeted politely, “Grandpa Maxwell.”

Maxwell was very happy. He grinned and said, “Hi, it’s been a while, Kimberly.”

Kimberly saw the three little children goofing around Maxwell and said gently, “Dexter, take your brother

and sister out to play. I need to speak with Great-grandpa about something.”

Dexter nodded firmly and replied, “Sure, Mommy.”

He had always been willing, enjoyed helping Kimberly, and felt proud.

The children left.

The living room became quiet.

Kimberly made Maxwell his favorite coffee, something she was very good at.

Probably feeling a little touched, Maxwell thought only Kimberly could make the taste.

he liked.

Holding the steaming cup, he lifted the lid, blew on the drink, and gently took a sip.

“Hmm. Only you can bring out the flavors of the coffee beans,” he said.

Kimberly smiled.

“The coffee beans are handmade in one of our villas. Its aroma is similar to the one I made for you at

Norham before, but it has a unique fragrance. Grandpa Maxwell, if you like it, I’ll ask Esther to pack

some for you when you go back,” she said.
