Chapter 190
Chapter 190: “Kristopher, let’s go!”’ Cathy’s voice broke through his reverie as she approached with excitement, clutching his arm. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. “We shouldn’t keep Miss Nelson waiting!”’ Her words barely settled when the reporters nearby joined in with eager comments. “Come on, move it before she reconsiders.”’ “Broadcasting Kristopher Cox’s divorce? This will be the highlight of my career as a reporter!”’ “I’m eager to see how this high-profile breakup plays out!”’ “This will definitely make the front page. I need to capture every detail!”’ Every remark from the reporters felt like ants crawling over Kristopher’s heart, each one ramping up his frustration. With Belinda already on her way to the courthouse, he knew there was no turning back. Under the scrutinizing gaze of the public, regret was not an option for Kristopher! As he left the hospital with Cathy clinging to his arm, he saw Belinda climbing into Allen’s car in the distance, and his heart twinged with pain. Did she really want to cut ties so badly that she had to make their divorce this public and contentious? She wouldn’t even share a car ride with him to the courthouse, right next to Allen’s. “Miss Nelson and Mr. Wilde seem to be getting along quite well,”’ Cathy remarked as they settled into their car, her eyes lingering on Allen’s red sports car as it pulled away. “I remember Mr. Wilde mentioning it was his first time meeting Miss Nelson at the racetrack not too long ago.

I’m worried you might get jealous, Kristopher.”’ The best stories are at g’±¯lnÏνð’ð’s”¤ð’ð’ð’ With his eyes closed, Kristopher was transported back to a similar moment with Belinda, who had smiled as she leaned against him. “Putting your relationship to the test with a third person shows a lack of trust and can hurt your partner. If I ever get close to another man, it’s because I find him appealing or because my feelings for you have”¦ faded not to make you jealous. If I still cared for you, I couldn’t stand to see you in pain!”’ At that time, Belinda had seemed completely devoted to him, her eyes alight with affection. But that sparkle had long since faded from her gaze. “Kristopher?”’ Cathy’s voice pulled him from his reverie. Noticing his distant expression, she frowned and repeated, more insistently, “Kristopher?”’ He opened his eyes, returning to the present. “Yes, what is it?”’ “You weren’t paying attention to me again!”’ Cathy complained, her lips forming a pout as she glared at him. “You’ve seemed so distant when you’re with me these days!”’…
