My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 726:

Kristopher left the hospital and went to the police station with his lawyer to provide a statement. As his lawyer made the statement, he stood by the door, scanning the room for that familiar face.

Noticing Kristopher’s gaze, a police officer asked, “Mr. Norris, are you looking for someone?”

With unusual politeness, Kristopher asked, “In which office is the complainant, Carrie Campbell, giving her statement?”

“Ms. Campbell wasn’t feeling well, so our team went to the Morrison family residence to take her statement,” the officer replied.

“What happened to Carrie?” At that moment, Kyson walked out.

Kyson had come to the police station to mediate a situation involving rumors about the school based on a photo. He unexpectedly ran into Kristopher and heard Carrie’s name.

Kristopher turned toward Kyson, raising an eyebrow. “What does it have to do with you? Mr. Webster, trying to make a name for yourself by butting into everyone else’s affairs?”

At his words, Kyson’s concern vanished, replaced by a faint smile. “Mr. Norris, no need to say that Carrie and I are just friends, so it’s only natural to show some concern.”

Kristopher sneered. “You’re calling yourselves friends after meeting just a few times? You sure know how to make friends.”

“The Webster and Morrison families have a history of strong ties, and the elders hope we can become closer. I believe my relationship with Carrie has the potential to go beyond friendship.” Kyson’s expression remained neutral, though his eyes glinted with subtle provocation.

“You’d better stay away from Carrie. You don’t even like her,” Kristopher said, his eyes narrowing with warning. “If you’re planning to use her for some marriage alliance to get what you want, I won’t let you get away with it.”

“How do you know I don’t like her?” Kyson’s smile held something unreadable. Did he like Carrie? He wasn’t sure. Romance had never been something he thought about much. But when they first met, he had been captivated by her and found himself wanting to know her better.

Later, at the birthday banquet, Kyson discovered that Carrie was from the Morrison family, which made him feel an even stronger sense of connection. After learning more about her background, he developed a deeper admiration for her strength.

He was also aware of the history between Kristopher, Daxton, and Carrie. In comparison, he realized he couldn’t love her recklessly like they did. Coming from the Webster family, Kyson had always avoided trouble. What he sought was a capable wife. Carrie, who had seemed vulnerable back then, wouldn’t have been his choice, even though he admired her.

Kristopher gave Kyson a cold look. “I was once like you, detached and emotionless. You’re exactly how I was when I first met her. No one understands your mindset better than I do.”

Kyson gave a helpless smile. “If that’s how you see it, there’s nothing I can do. But I don’t think I’m like you.”
