The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 273

Christopher’s lips curled into a graceful smile as he savored his tea. He exuded the air of a sophisticated young aristocrat in the modern world. The two of them chatted as they caught up with each other.

Bella learned that Christopher had dedicated himself to looking after his mother during her recovery in Sentania. His mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which led to a gradual decline in her ability to take care of herself. Despite having numerous opportunities to return to Savrow, he remained in Sentania to care for his mother and develop his career.

She remembered that the Iverson family dynamics were quite intricate. The Iverson family included four children, among them Christopher, who had two older brothers and one older sister. The trio shared the same mother. On the other hand, Christopher was the child of the second wife, introducing an additional layer of complexity to the family structure.

Bella had limited knowledge about Mrs. Iverson. Even though their families were once close when she was a child and she had visited the Iverson estate, she still had no impression of that lady.

Bella asked again, “Why did you suddenly come back this year?”

“Home is where the heart is. After all, I am a son of the Iverson family. I wanted to come back and reclaim a part of what belongs to me,” Christopher said, lowering his eyes. He played with the delicate teacup with his slender fingertips.

Bella nodded slightly, understanding his meaning.

Children born into wealthy and prestigious families were often caught in a power struggle. Those who did not navigate the power struggle were exploited and ultimately ended up with little to show for their privileged backgrounds. After all, a close-knit and happy prestigious family, like the Thompsons, were rare.

Christopher suddenly asked with a smile, “There’s still some time before dinner. What would you like to do?”
