My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 799:

Carrie had never seen him this way; it was as though she had stumbled upon a hidden, secret part of him.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, she paused, uncertain of her next move. Just as she was about to return to her room, Kyson caught sight of her shadow on the ground. He turned and said, “You look stunning. Let’s head back to the front hall. If we’re late, your cousins will worry.

They might even turn the whole estate upside down looking for you.”

Straightening himself, he moved fully into the sunlight, his smile now warm and inviting.

The sadness she had noticed seemed to have been nothing more than a passing shadow. Perhaps it was merely an effect of the light.

Carrie didn’t press on it any longer and simply nodded, saying, “Alright.”

In his other hand, Kyson clenched his phone, the screen displaying a recent message:

“Kyson, it’s time for you to marry. You must understand that your marriage is not solely your concern. It impacts the Webster family’s stock value and future. I am your mother. I’ve taught you from a young age that you exist not just for yourself but for the Webster family. It’s tough, but haven’t you also enjoyed privileges beyond the reach of ordinary people? Everything comes at a price. You cannot have it all.”

Carrie and Kyson made their way back to the front hall.

Reece and Arion both sighed in relief when they saw her, quickly walking over.

Arion looked worried.

“Did you go off with Kyson without letting us know?”

Carrie remembered what Kyson had just mentioned—it seemed he wasn’t exaggerating.

They were so protective of her that her disappearance would likely cause them to search the entire estate. She caught Kyson’s glance, and he looked back at her as if to say, “See? I told you so.”

They shared a smile, recognizing their little inside joke.

Arion noticed their silent communication and asked, “What have you two been up to?”

Before Carrie could reply, Kyson intervened, “Nothing serious. Carrie was just taking a stroll in the backyard. I was on a call with my mom and ran into her, so we headed back together.”

Arion seemed to accept this explanation.

“Oh, you were in the backyard? Next time you want to go out, just let me know.

There’s a reservoir in the grove—do you like fishing? I could take you there.”

“That sounds nice,” Carrie responded with a nod.

However, Reece was not as easily reassured. He observed Kyson with a sharp gaze.noveldrama

The Morrison and Webster families had a long-standing relationship, and Reece had known Kyson since childhood.

They got along well, and Reece respected Kyson’s character.

Kyson would be a fine cousin-in-law; he was truly exceptional, one of a kind.
