Chapter 3

Katherine was very punctual. She arrived at City Hall at 8:50 am. even though they agreed to meet up

at 9:00 am.

However, there was no sign of Christopher even after half an hour.

It was unusual because he was usually punctual. Moreover, the divorce was exactly what he wanted.

“Never mind. If nothing goes wrong, today’s the last time we’ll ever meet. Let’s wait a little longer.

Maybe there’s a trallic jam on the way,” Katherine thought.

However, even after waiting for a long time, Christopher was still nowhere to be seen.

When it was almost eleven o’clock, she was losing her patience..

“Didn’t we agree to meet at nine o’clock at City Hall? I’d think you still have feelings for me if you don’t

appear. Get here quickly. Otherwise, the staff will be leaving soon,” Katherine expressed all her

displeasure in one breath as if that would make her feel better.

“I’m currently in Baykeep. Something happened to the project here. I just reached here. this morning.

I’ll inform you again when I have the time.”

With that said, Christopher hung up the phone.

“How ridiculous! I’m getting stood up on the day of my divorce!” Katherine mused. However, she did not

bother too much about it since they would still get divorced eventually. Thinking that she definitely could

not live in Christopher’s mansion anymore, she decided to go and pack her things.

There were a lot of housekeepers in the mansion. The butler, George Wrathall, quickly rushed over and

greeted Katherine politely upon seeing her, “Good day, Mrs. Levinel”

Katherine used to feel proud whenever she was addressed as “Mrs. Levine.” However, it sounded like

a joke to her now.

Katherine said calmly. “There’s no Mrs. Levine here, just Ms. Xander.”

George was confused at her words. Katherine did not know why she said that to him either, as it was

unnecessary.

She quickly went upstairs and rushed straight to her room. Then, she packed. everything that belonged

to her into her luggage but did not include the handbags and jewelry that Christopher had given her.

After that, she pulled a drawer open. There was an exquisite gift box with a handmade stamp inside. It

was a birthday gift meticulously prepared by her for Christopher.

She always remembered to prepare gifts for him on special occasions. However, they were always left

unused on the shelves.

When she was preparing it, she thought a handmade stamp would not only express her sincerity but

could also come in handy for Christopher later on.

However, she did not have the chance to give this gift to him anymore. Thus, she threw the stamp

along with the box into the trash can.

Next, she dragged her luggage and went downstairs.

It was very quiet in the house, as the housekeepers remained silent. Only the sound of the luggage’s

wheels could be heard.

A black Rolls–Royce was waiting outside the house.

She then walked to the car, opened the trunk, and loaded her luggage into the trunk in

one go.

As soon as she got into the car, Vincent Sullivan, a man who was wearing sunglasses, said,

“Congratulations on becoming single again.”

With that, Vincent started the car swiftly and drove out of the place that had brought Katherine great

sorrow.

George took his phone and reported to Christopher, “Mr. Levine, Mrs. Levine came back and then left

again with her luggage.

“Huh! What a heartless woman. Yesterday, she was still following me everywhere, and yet she left

without any hesitation today,” Christopher thought.

As he thought of that, an uneasy feeling sat in the pit of his stomach.

However, he did not have the time to be bothered by Katherine anymore. A safety issue had occurred

with his project, and he was still there to deal with it.

He knew very well that no mistakes were allowed to occur at this critical moment, as this would impact

the success of the company’s coming acquisitions.

For the last two years, the Xander family’s lives became better after they became relatives with the

Levines.

With the Levines‘ support, the Xander family’s company was gradually getting on track. Even if the

Xanders only received small benefits from the Levine Group, they were easily still better off than most

of the companies in Norham.

Chapter 3

The moment she thought of how her father had used her for his own gain, Katherine swore that she

would never step into the Xander residence again.

“I’m not the Xander family’s only daughter. Why was I the one who was sacrificed?” she thought. The

way she saw it, her sister, Kristin Xander, seemed a hundred or even a thousand times more precious

to her family than Katherine herself was.

“After I divorce Christopher, and the collaboration between the Xanders and the Levines ends, let’s see

if they’re willing to sell Kristin to the rich tycoons in Norham,” she mused.

As her belly would only get bigger with each passing day, she had to sever ties with Christopher as

soon as possible and quickly settle the divorce procedure. If he knew that she was pregnant with his

child and that she planned to give birth to the child in secret, it was hard to tell what would happen next.

One year ago, after the people from the Larson family found her, she finally found out that she was, in

fact, the eldest daughter of the Larson family, which was one of the most reputable families in Dellmoor.

However, she kept delaying her return to the Larson family only because she was truly in love with

Christopher.

Twenty years ago, internal conflicts had happened within the Larson family. It was then that she had

gotten lost and went missing. Eventually, she was adopted by Gregory.

Gregory had married twice. His first wife was Katherine’s adoptive mother, who passed

from sickness when Katherine was still little.

Later on, Gregory married Lucia Marolla, who gave birth to Kristin. From then on, Katherine had a

really hard time growing up, as she was constantly bullied by her stepmother and younger sister.

Gregory and his family would regret for the rest of their lives for treating her cruelly.

Meanwhile, since Katherine had signed the divorce papers, and Christopher was not in. Norham,

Katherine had no reason to wait for him anymore.

“Let’s до back to Dellmoor now,” she stated as she fished out her phone, smiling faintly.

There was no longer anyb*dy she would long for in this city.

Rubbing her belly, she said softly, “Sweetheart, I’m going to give you a new life.”

She figured she would never be lonely again in the future now that she had this child, who belonged

only to her.

At ten o’clock that night, Christopher finally reached home from Baykeep and went

straight to the room that Katherine had stayed in previously.

The scent of roses lingered in the air. It was the same smell that came off Katherine, as it was her

favorite scent.

“She’s really left this time. It’s just that she didn’t take away a single item 1 gave her,” Christopher

mused.

He then walked around the room and came across a gift box that was thrown in the trash can.

Upon opening the box, he saw a unique stamp that was engraved with his initials.

“Did she get this for me?” he thought.

At this thought, he was suddenly filled with an inexplicable frustration.

“Christopher, are you back? Can you come over here for a bit? I have something important to tell you in

person.”

Kiara was a smart woman. She knew that Christopher did not like women who were too aggressive or

clingy, and she was good at controlling herself not to cross the line.

“Okay, I’ll come over in a while.” Christopher could never refuse Kiara’s request. He thought she was

always kind and understanding.

However, Kiara was only like this in front of Christopher. Whenever she faced Katherine, she was a

very domineering woman.

Half an hour later, Christopher arrived at Kiara’s condominium. “Christopher, I won’t try to threaten you

with the child. I’ll go to the hospital and get an abortion tomorrow.”

Kiara looked so pitiful when she said those words, making Christopher feel bad instantly.

Then, a thought came into his mind, “Doesn’t Grandpa wish for a great–grandson? Then, let’s just keep

the child. After all, Kiara has stayed by my side for all these years,

too.”

“Who said I don’t want the child?” Christopher asked flatly while sitting on the couch.

Upon hearing his words, Kiara continued to act pitifully. “But I don’t want the child to be born as an

illegitimate child.”

“Katherine and I are already divorced. I’ll discuss with Grandpa tomorrow about marrying you.”

Kiara was overjoyed when she heard that. She thought, “Katherine, I’ve told you before
