A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 102:

The light in Fred’s eyes faded abruptly.

Fred had been Belinda’s companion for the day, his usual lively and chatty demeanor brightening their time together. Now, witnessing his sudden change, Belinda felt an unexpected pang of sadness. However, with Kristopher there, she was at a loss for words to comfort him.

After a brief silence, she turned to Kristopher and asked, “If you don’t want him with us, could you drive me home?”

Without a word, Kristopher coldly let go of her hand and moved towards the car.

Belinda took a deep breath, her lips tightening as she faced the dejected man before her. “Madisyn has your number, right? I’ll have her send your payment soon.”

She sighed deeply, adding softly, “Thank you for taking care of me today.”

Fred remained still, gazing long into the distance where the car had disappeared, before letting out a deep breath.
