My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 28

Chapter 28
Daniel also realized that the circumstances had changed.
He discovered that she loved him genuinely, and likewise, he had no ulterior motives.
Today, it was the Xander family who was trying to exploit her, taking advantage of her unattainability.
However, Daniel believed in being open and honest.
“You probably know that Levine Group unilaterally terminated our cooperation. We hope the Coleman family can enter a marriage of convenience with us to overcome the crisis at Xander Group.” Daniel did not want to hide anything. The girl in front of him had nothing but clarity and pureness in her eyes.
Marissa, seated across from him, blinked her large eyes rhythmically. She regarded him affectionately and inquired, “What about you?”
She wanted to understand the extent to which his agreement to the marriage of convenience was voluntary versus driven by necessity.
With a few words, she conveyed a strong sense of determination, and for a moment, he felt a lump in his throat.
Daniel raised his coffee cup with his slender hand, took a sip, and responded with a touch of warmth in his typically cool tone, “If I had to choose someone, I’d prefer it to be you. I’m willing to put in the effort to love you for the rest of my life.”
It was a common saying that a man’s words couldn’t always be trusted.
Yet, Marissa believed that this was the response she had hoped for.
She had confidence in herself and faith in him.
If it were in the past, she might have been deeply moved by such a declaration and shed
tears.
But now, she needed to remain composed.
Marissa offered a slight smile, revealing a faint dimple on her left cheek.

Instead of replying verbally, she raised her coffee cup, inviting him to do the same, and they gently clinked their cups.
In reality, she was delighted.
She relished their private time together, feeling like they were on a date.

However, she had to exercise some restraint.
Marissa had received advice from her elders, who emphasized the importance of maintaining composure, as assertive girls were often not well-received.
From her own experience, she knew it was true.
As she prepared to leave, Marissa offered Daniel some reassurance. “Regarding the marriage of convenience, I’ll discuss it with my family when I return.”
After conveying her intentions, she walked confidently toward the door where the driver was already waiting.
Once Marissa departed, Daniel sat alone, deep in thought.
After meeting Marissa, Daniel didn’t return home. Instead, he went to Blue Dusk, for he had no desire to deal with his family.
The only thing that could provide solace for his worries was alcohol.
It was a rare occurrence for Daniel to visit bars or nightclubs, but on this particular day. he yearned to break from his usual routine, engage in something out of the ordinary, and attempt to numb his troubled heart.
He made no effort to invite any of his friends. Instead, he chose to sit alone at the bar, where the bartender promptly handed him a drink, which he swiftly downed.
Daniel proceeded to order a variety of alcoholic beverages-vodka, Bl oody Mary, Alexander, gin, rum, and more.
Throughout this time, a few flirtatious women attempted to approach him, but he rebuffed their advances with his cold and disinterested demeanor.
Christopher and Noah coincidentally witnessed the scene.
“Hey, isn’t that Daniel, the heir of Xander Group? He’s actually getting drunk alone here,” Noah remarked, his tone laced with a hint of teasing.
Christopher was drinking and didn’t bother responding.
Noah, with a mischievous demeanor, commented, “I heard you severed ties with the Xander Group, all for Katherine’s sake. It was a rather ruthless move, like striking at the heart.”
Christopher hadn’t heard the name Katherine for a long time, and he knew Noah was joking
He cast a cold glance at Daniel before responding, “You’re partially correct. We did
terminate our cooperation, but it wasn’t because of Katherine. Over the past two years, Xander Group relied heavily on Levine Group for survival.”
“Originally, it was all for Grandpa’s sake,” he continued, “Levine Group isn’t a charity, and now that she’s divorced me, there’s no need to consider her anymore.
Noah couldn’t help but acknowledge that Christopher’s statement was well-structured and grounded in reason.
Yet, he sensed a unique attitude from Christopher toward Katherine.
His curiosity was aroused, and he desired to unveil the truth. “Even after the divorce, you seem quite committed to investigating her. May I infer that you still harbor feelings for your ex-wife?”
Noah experienced a sense of gratification. Christopher had always been unyielding, resembling an impenetrable fortress, and it was a rare occasion to discover a ch ink in
his armor.
