My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 994: She hesitated, then continued, her voice growing softer. “I am the last direct descendant of the Hinks family… but I can’t have children of my own. Alethea isn’t my biological daughter, so naturally, I can’t entrust the Hinks family legacy to her. But this child—the one we’re looking for—is my mother’s direct descendant. […]

Chapter 993: Jacob offered a polite smile, his voice carrying a note of relief. “You’re too kind, Kody. My wife and I have always admired the Morrison family’s integrity, which is why we came to you first upon arriving in Isonridge.” His smile faltered slightly, and he hesitated before adding, “But this isn’t about business.

Chapter 992: Jenesis interjected sharply before she could finish, “It’s well-known that projects associated with Carrie’s Katrina pseudonym are highly profitable. Investors queue up for a chance to participate. Offering to invest in such lucrative ventures hardly seems like an apology, Ms. Hinks—doesn’t it seem a bit too greedy?” Jenesis enjoyed a level of familial

Chapter 991: Luca responded with a skeptical scoff. “Your regrets hardly seem genuine, Ms. Hinks. You’ve remained silent until now, offering no explanations, and suddenly you appear.

Chapter 989: Carrie lowered her gaze, absentmindedly resting a hand on her still-flat stomach. She thought back to her first pregnancy. Had she been this moody back then? No… she didn’t remember having such unpredictable emotions before. Maybe her first child had simply been more well-behaved, she mused. She watched as Daxton quietly fetched her

Chapter 988: Two more games followed the same pattern. Each time, Daxton was on the verge of victory, only to make a baffling, almost childlike mistake at the crucial moment. Carrie’s amusement faded, replaced by an unsettling realization. The warmth in her eyes disappeared, leaving only a cold, detached expression. Daxton gathered the pieces back

Chapter 987: Carrie narrowed her eyes, a hint of suspicion slipping into her gaze. “Are you trying to let me win again?” He leaned back with an easy shrug. “No, that’s just how I usually play.” Carrie exhaled and extended her hand for another round. Despite her efforts, Daxton won again—and again. Three games, three

Chapter 986: Sometimes, saying less helped avoid misunderstandings. After finishing her meal, Carrie wiped her mouth and glanced at Daxton. He was still lounging in his chair, casually flipping through a magazine. She hesitated for a moment, searching for something to say. “When are you going back to work?” Daxton set his phone down and
