My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 159

Candice, in particular, was pouting so much that one could use her mouth as a h o ok. Her

eyes were full of discontent and frustration.

Kimberly scanned back and forth at Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice, trying to request some backup.

But nobody stepped up to support her.

Finally, Dexter spoke-not to help her, but to refute her. “My teacher said it has to be our daddy and

mommy together.”

Dexter then mudged Sebastian, who braved himself and started speaking up too. “Mommy, Uncle

David is awesome. But Daddy might be awesome, too.”

In short, they were dead set on Christopher joining that parent-child sports event in

two days.

Persistence was victory.

Kimberly was at a disadvantage in this three-to-one situation.

In the end, she caved but insisted that they had to talk to Christopher themselves.

Kimberly had always been democratic, and on this one, the three children had well- founded

justification.

So, Kimberly gave in.

When she agreed, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice grabbed each other’s hands, formed a circle, and

started jumping around happily.

Finally, they decided to call Christopher right then and there,

Meanwhile, Christopher was working on Dellmoor Corporation’s renovation plans in

his study.

There were a few designs ready, waiting for his final say.

All the plans were solid, each with its own perks, making it tough to decide.

Christopher took a swig of coffee and rubbed his forehead.

The phone buzzed, and he grabbed it. When he saw the caller, his furrowed brows immediately

smoothed out. A fond smile crossed his face, and he answered it happily.

“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!” Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice enthusiastically called out on

“Daddy, are you busy?” he began politely.

Christopher chuckled, thinking. This kiddo acts like a little adult. Kimberly is surely skilled with kids. She

taught them good manners!

“I’m not busy. It’s getting late. Why aren’t you sleeping yet? Don’t you have school tomorrow?”

Christopher replied in a soft tone.

Hearing that Christopher had some free time, Dexter jumped on the chance to present their request to

him.

Christopher was naturally excited about the fantastic opportunity. Without thinking twice, he said, “I’m

free on Friday. I’ll definitely be there.”

Out of curiosity about Kimberly’s stance, he inquired. “Did you guys decide to call me on your own, or

did your mom suggest it?”

Being an upfront girl, Candice quickly spilled the beans about Kimberly.

She said, ‘Mommy told us to call. But she wasn’t keen on you joining at first. She mentioned that Uncle

David is a running champion.”

Candice’s words held quite a bit of information.

Christopher frowned when he heard that. He knew Kimberly wouldn’t be willing to join activities with

him..

Still, having his thoughts confirmed left him feeling uneasy and frustrated.

Christopher remarked, “Sweethearts, it’s too late now. You should go to bed early. You’ve got school

tomorrow.”

In the end, he thanked Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice for giving him this rare opportunity.

The trio felt proud as they received Christopher’s praise.

“Yay! We did it!” they cheered in celebration.

Meanwhile, Kimberly headed upstairs to make sure they were going to bed.

In the hallway, she heard their excited voices.

Glancing down at her watch, Kimberly noted it was way past 9:30 pm.

She looked up and stopped by the bedroom door, giving it a light tap. With a serious. look, she said,

“It’s past 9:30 pm. Why aren’t you sleeping yet? If there’s something your want to discuss, do it

tomorrow, Go to bed now, or I’ll have to deduct your points.”

Kimberly raised her children like she was running a company, implementing a strict

system.

self-discipline training plan had clear rewards and consequences.

When Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice heard Kimberly was going to deduct their points, they swiftly

reacted.

Dexter and Sebastian jumped into bed, trying to fall asleep as fast as they could.

Candice moved hurriedly, even putting her shoes on the wrong feet in her haste.

They knew Kimberly wasn’t bluffing, and she meant what she said.

Even though she usually kept it chill, she wasn’t messing around when push came to shove.

Soon, both rooms’ lights were out.

Kimberly smiled softly, thinking. “They finally quieted down. I wonder if they see me as a super strict

mom?

Christopher was thrilled about attending the parent-child activity at the kindergarten in a couple of days.

His excitement was through the roof, almost like he had just closed a 200-billion-dollar deal.

He swung open his closet which was filled with fancy suits, ties, leather shoes, shirts,

and more.

However, all his clothes were either business or casual, and he couldn’t find anything.

sporty.

Since he was going to participate, he naturally wanted the champion.

Having snagged the rare chance to show up as the trio’s father, he was determined to deliver a top-

notch performance and not let them down, especially after the effort they

put

in to make this happen.

Soon, Felix got a call.

“Grab me a few sets of workout clothes,” ordered Christopher.

Felix, on the other end, scratched his head and wondered, ‘Why does Mr. Levine need workout clothes

this late at night?”

“I’m joining a parent-child sports event at the kindergarten,” Christopher explained while Felix was still

at a loss.

Due to his busy work schedule, Christopher barely had time to exercise.

But he believed in the strength he had built up during his military days. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was confident he would excel, having acquired both the workout gear and the physical strength

needed.

The next day, Noah received a text from Christopher, asking him to play tennis after.

work.

Noah had a date with a girl lined up, but now he had to change plans.

“Tennis?” he muttered to himself.

He had to admit Christopher was good at tennis.

However, over the years, especially the last three, Christopher hadn’t exercised much because he was

focused on work.

This invitation to play tennis together was out of the blue.

After work, Noah hit the tennis court with his gear and began doing a pre-game stretch.

Suddenly, he spotted someone who looked familiar. The latter was headed his way, rocking flashy

sportswear.

With widened eyes, Noah exclaimed, “Whoa, Christopher! What’s gotten into you? What’s with the

bright colors? Are you joining a beauty pageant or something?”

“Is it that bad? Don’t I look good?” Christopher said with displeasure.

He thought he looked decent.

Hand propping his chin, Noah gave Christopher the once-over and commented, “Not that it looks bad.

It just isn’t your usual vibe.”

Christopher smirked and said, “I think I look pretty sharp.”

After that, they warmed up for about 15 minutes.

After a few laps around, Noah wound up gasping for air.

He bent over while panting, groaning, “Christopher, why are you going so hard? What’s going on with

you? Are you taking out some frustration on me? D amn. You haven’t worked out for years, yet you’re

still so strong.”
