My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 20

As he ruminated about those things, a wave of frustration washed over Christopher.

He then lit a cigarette and occasionally flicked off the ashes as he mulled over his

matters.

Christopher used to not smoke, but he had picked up the habit of using nicotine to destress due to the

recent stressful events.

“Larson Corporation. Kimberly Larson,” he mused.

Christopher heard that she was unusually close to the Sullivan family’s son.

Thus, when he thought about the recent series of events, the voice in his mind told him. that the two

had come for him prepared.

Ever since Kimberly went back to the Larson family, she had been busy all day and night.

After the first night’s family dinner, she never went back to the Larson estate.

Yandel was a man with a strong and unique personality. He was the type of person to fully trust the one

he hired.

Kimberly was the one he had chosen as the heir to the Larson Corporation, and she was the one who

he had poured in his time and effort to train.

Therefore, once she started working in Larson Corporation, he stopped intervening in any matter she

was in. It was not as if he wanted to intervene anyway.

Nevertheless, it was clear that she was quite like his late son, Cameron, in terms of work performance.

When Yandel thought about Kimberly, he felt pity for her.

Although she was born into a prestigious family like the Larson family, she had to bear such a heavy

burden.

If nothing had happened to Cameron and his wife, the sight before Yandel would have been a sweet,

blissful one.

As Yandel held his son’s photo and mulled over those thoughts, tears ran down his cheeks.

“Old Mr. Larson, Ms. Larson just called and told us that she’ll be coming back at noon to eat with you,”

informed the housekeeper.

“It’s good to know that the girl has the heart to come and visit me after work,” Yandel mused.

Soon, the sounds of a car’s engine came from the courtyard.

What came next was his granddaughter’s merry voice calling out, “Grandpa, I’m home.”

Kimberly was wearing a dress on the bright side of red and a pair of golden heels.

As she quickly walked toward the living room, she greeted her grandfather.

Kimberly was grateful for her grandfather.

After all, Yandel had a hand in her current success.

When Yandel heard his granddaughter’s adorable voice, he smiled and shook his head.

Kimberly’s way of interacting with him was something he liked.

His sons and grandchildren rarely came back to accompany him.

At the start, they still came, but other than Kenneth, the rest were always half-heartedly interacting with

him.

In the end, he would drive them away with his chidings and anger.

If not for that, he would not have been in a hurry to get Kimberly back.

Therefore, Yandel was extremely happy with Kimberly.

Like her parents, she was born a kind person.

Even though they had not been around each other for long, she had always treated him. sincerely.

At the same time, she was so talented.

How could Yandel possibly not like her?

“What’s the matter? Have you finally remembered the old me after so many days?” Yandel deliberately

grumbled when he saw his precious granddaughter.

“No way. It’s because my grandpa doesn’t dote on his granddaughter at all. You’ve handed the entire

company to me right as I came back, Kimberly returned, pouting. “I’d say you’re biased. I’m your

granddaughter too, but Whitney gets to live like a princess while I have to be a tomboy.”

Hearing that, Yandel turned to look at her before pointing at her.

“You’re a cheeky girl. Whitney called me a few days ago to tell me that you were bullying her. She even

said I was biased against her. Did you know how much pressure I had to endure to make you the CEO

of Larson Corporation?”

Realizing that her grandfather was about to guilt-trip her, Kimberly quickly ran over to hug her greying

grandfather.

“My dear grandpa, I know that you love me most. It’s just because my stress from work is

accumulating, so I wanted to act a little childishly around you to destress,”

“All right, all right. You’ve worked the whole morning, so you must be starving. Even if you’re not

hungry, the baby in you must be.” Yandel finally recalled his great-grandchild in her.

“Try these out. The dishes on the table were all made to your preferences.” Yandel then turned the

Lazy Susan while asking her to try out the various dishes.

“You’re so skinny, so you have to cat more. That way, the baby will grow big and strong instead of

being like you when you were younger – weak and often ill. Your mother had it tough back then.”

When Kimberly heard something amiss with her grandfather’s tone, she realized he must be

reminiscing about the past.

Hence, she quickly said, “The food at your place tastes the best. Grandpa, try this fish.”

“If it tastes good, and if you like it, bring the Larson estate’s chef to the Larson. residence.”

It was just a half-hearted comment from her, but Yandel seemed to have taken it seriously.

“It’s fine, Grandpa! They’re used to serving you. Moreover, if I miss the food here, I can. always come

back!”

Hearing that, a warm current seeped into Yandel’s heart. “I knew it. My love for her wasn’t for nothing,”

he thought.

Too preoccupied with the food, Kimberly nearly forgot about the important matters.

While Yandel was still in a good mood, she said, “Grandpa, I have something I want to talk to you

about. The company’s planning to expand into the overseas market, so we’ll need someone capable of

our family to head over to manage it there. I’m thinking of having Uncle Dominic head there. What do

you think about that, Grandpa?”

Once again, Yandel was impressed by his granddaughter.

His granddaughter was the CEO of the company, so both William and Dominic, who

were still in the company, would have restricted freedom in the company.

As a matter of fact, they might encounter miscellaneous kinds of conflicts.

William’s capabilities were just average. He was a vice president who was not involved in any of the

core businesses, so he would not be able to kick up any storm in the company.

On the other hand, while Dominic was capable, he lacked experience.

Therefore, it was a good idea for him to work in the company abroad.

When Yandel looked at Kimberly’s natural and nonchalant expression, he earnestly smiled.

“You’re the CEO of the company, so the assignment of the employees is up to you. I won’t be

intervening in your matters.”

Then, he added, “I believe that you’re a good child who wants to maintain a harmonious environment in

the family.”

Upon hearing that, Kimberly’s heart sk ipped a beat.

She realized that her grandfather must know about her incident with William’s family.

Nevertheless, she was certain that her grandfather was in agreement with her way of dealing with it.

After all, she was only defending what belonged to her family.

Yandel’s mind jumped from topic to topic at light speed.

In a blink of an eye, they were on the topic of her ex-husband.

“Has your relationship with Christopher really ended? The Larson family and the Levine family used to

be friends a few years ago, and we even had a marriage agreement!”

Every time others mentioned Christopher, Kimberly would be on her guard and become wary.

“Yes. The one who had a relationship with him was Katherine Xander. Ever since I returned to the

Larson family, Katherine Xander no longer existed. Now, I’m only Kimberly Larson.”

It was at that moment Yandel truly regretted not finding her earlier.

She was a rare treasure to be found.

He thought, “Although my granddaughter’s a girl, she’s no weaker than a boy in every way. Emotions

don’t slow her down; she would cut the ties off immediately if they do.”

Therefore, Yandel was at ease to have her manage Larson Corporation.
