A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 117:

Kristopher’s words caused Belinda to catch her breath abruptly.

Back when Kristopher had just woken up, Belinda had often used little ploys, like pretending to fall or faking a sprained ankle, to draw closer to him.

At that time, she believed Kristopher’s willingness to play along indicated that he cared and perhaps even had feelings for her.

That belief shattered when she accidentally overheard someone outside a private room asking him if he was oblivious to her schemes. His response from that day still echoed in her mind.

He had said, “How could I not see through such obvious theatrics and schemes? I played along with her act just to stop her from finding even more distasteful methods to approach me.”

That moment marked the first time Belinda realized his deep-seated disdain for her.

From that day forward, she never again made overt attempts to be close to him in public.

She hadn’t anticipated that, after all this time, a small misstep would cause him to revisit the past and suspect her of deceit and manipulation.
