My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 460:

Setting aside his newspaper, Shawn interjected thoughtfully, “Kristopher may not have been the most attentive husband recently, but he and Lise do share a history. It would be heartless of him to remain indifferent to her struggles.”

“I see your point, Shawn,” Carrie replied, although she harbored reservations. She recognized the challenge for Shawn, once a patriarch, to fully grasp her perspective, given their different life experiences and generational gaps. Despite these differences, she respected that their intentions were good, choosing not to debate the nuances of the situation. Adults understand that life isn’t just black or white; it’s a complex spectrum of gray, where motives and truths intertwine.

Carrie turned to the servant with a grateful smile. “Your cooking is always so delightful. I seem to eat too much every time I visit Norris Mansion.”

You’re looking a bit slender, especially if you’re considering a baby soon. You’re quite photogenic as is, no need to chase after some unrealistic ideal of slimness.”
