Kimberly also had a headache when it came to Christopher.
If it werenât for the fact that he was the childrenâs father, she would never let him stay within ten feet of her.
Thinking of the contract she signed, Kimberly felt her temple throbbing.
But on second thought, it was a temporary measure.
Christopher was so despicable that he took the three little cuties away without telling her.
At that time, she did that to defend herself.
Kimberly told herself inwardly, âYes, thatâs self-defense.â
For a moment, Kimberly felt herself in a daze.
She felt that her shameless and cun ning appearance was somewhat similar to Christopherâs.
After talking to Olivia, Kimberly had an epiphany and felt much better.
Kimberly hadnât seen Vincent for a while, so she took the opportunity to ask.
As she spoke of Vincent, Oliviaâs expression almost twisted into a ball.
The things that happened recently were so sudden, complicated, and shocking.
She hadnât had a chance to tell Kimberly yet.
They were best friends, and Vincent was Kimberlyâs brother. There was no need to hide from her.
After listening to Oliviaâs explanation for about 15 minutes, Kimberly was dumbfounded.
âJaxon and Vincent are half-brothers?â Kimberly was choked by a mouthful of coffee.
At the thought of Jaxon returning to the Sullivan family, Kimberly hugged Olivia and comforted her, âItâs really hard for you.â
If Olivia married Vincent in the future, she would constantly meet Jaxon.
Jaxon was obsessed and would never give up on Olivia.
Kimberly was really worried about Oliviaâs married life.
âHow is Vincent?â Kimberly knew what that matter meant to Vincent.
Worries could be noticed in Oliviaâs eyes as she shook her head. âHe is not very good.â
Over the years, Kimberly had seen countless people. She could feel that Jaxon was completely different from Vincent.
Although they shared the same blood, their style of dealing with people and things was different.
Vincent was optimistic and kind-hearted. When he did things, he would always leave some room for discussion.
On the contrary, Jaxon was cold and indifferent. He always did things with decisiveness and resolve.
Kimberly witnessed Oliviaâs heartbreak during university.
However, she felt lucky for Olivia at the time.
In comparison, Jaxon was definitely not a person worth entrusting.
He was malicious and cu nning. If Olivia were with him, she wouldnât be happy.
Olivia said with relief, âFortunately, his motherâs condition has improved. Well-known experts will come to see her in two weeks.â
Kimberly didnât know much about Delilahâs condition.
He wouldnât say much, so she didnât ask.
Kimberly looked confused. âWhy didnât he ask Edward for help with his mother?â
Kimberlyâs second brother, Edward Xenos, was a top medical expert.
Olivia shook her head. She had just known about it also.
Now that they knew her condition had turned around, they needed to compete with time.
As time went by, every moment had a different change.
Kimberly held Oliviaâs hand tightly, signaling her not to worry too much.
Although things felt like they were at oneâs witsâ end, it might be a light at the end of the |||
O tunnel.
Kimberly called Edward right away, wanting to see if he could arrange for the neurosurgeon to go to Dellmoor and operate on Vincentâs mother as soon as possible.
When he got the news, Edward, on the other end of the phone, was stunned. âWhy didnât Vincent talk to us when facing trouble?â he thought.
Kimberly was insightful, as she knew Vincent didnât want to take care of matters publicly.
His motherâs illness hadnât improved for many years.
Also, he did not want to cause trouble for those who loved him.
Good things always needed to take a long time.
Kimberly patiently enlightened Olivia for the fear that she would hide herself again like an ostrich when she had the heartbreak last time.
It was hard for Olivia to finally pluck up her courage and opened her heart.
Her relationship was like fighting a monster. She fought hard and passed the level, yet it came to a more challenging one.
However, Kimberly didnât worry. She believed that Olivia would find her happiness after all the hardship.

Kiara left the online restaurant, took a taxi, and went for a stroll near the childrenâs school.
The children usually finished school at about four oâclock in the afternoon.
She came early with an ulterior motive, trying to check the situation first.
She had a picture of Kimberly and three kids on the phone.
In the photo, Kimberly smiled brightly while the three children were innocent and cute.
She stroked the faces of the children in the photos and thought, âThey have inherited their parentsâ
good genes.â
Especially the boys, who resembled Christopherâs handsome face.
John picked up the kids from school today.

Kiara stood in a quiet place in the distance, took out her binoculars, and had her eyes locked on the three children who had just left the kindergarten.
They were dressed in standard uniforms, full of energy and vitality, looking like graceful young gentlemen and ladies.
Kiara was there to check on the situation.
To put it bluntly, she didnât have any special tricks.
She was just an actress who had been a peasant for several years.
However, one should never underestimate a person whose heart was filled with hatred.
*****
Ivy wasnât particularly at ease with Kiara.
She had got eyes on Kiara.
But so far, she was satisfied with Kiaraâs well behaved.
She got off work early and went to the mall. Lilian invited her to have a meal in the Levine manor.
When she reached the place, Lilian saw her carrying a pile of things and complained, âIvy, I only asked you to come. Why did you spend so much money buying so many things? Sure enough, itâs better to have a daughter. The daughter is a sweetheart and always cares about oneâs feelings. Look at Christopher. If heâs half as sweet as you. Iâll laugh out loud in my dreams.â
Heather was away also, going to Xemrich with her best friend.
It was no wonder Lilian felt lonely.
Usually, with Heather around, there were still laughers.
Now that Heather suddenly went traveling, Lilian was not used to it.
Being praised by Lilian, Ivy hurriedly said, âMrs. Levine, please donât say so.
Christopher is busy with his career. Unlike me, Iâm free.â
What Ivy said went to Lilianâs heart. Although she complained about her grandson, she still cared about him.
She laughed. âYouâre so good at talking. You always say something nice for him.â
Then, Lilian was touched by the scene. âItâs such a big house. Thereâs only the two of us.
O Itâs quiet and desolate.â
Seeing that, Ivy deliberately said, âOne day, Christopher will bring Katherine and the kids back. Youâll have good times together.â
When Ivy said that, her face was full of smiles, but she was actually screaming inwardly.
Seeing that Ivy was so understanding and reasonable, Lilian felt the girl must have let go of her obsession with Christopher.
Lilian sighed inwardly. âShe is such a sensible girl. Itâd be wonderful if she could be my granddaughter. I just donât know if she would agree!â
