My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 18

Kimberly liked roses.

She liked all kinds of things that smelled of roses, such as incense and perfume.

However, she knew that all those roses in the garden came about due to Whitney. Thus, she hated the

patch of roses in front of her.

“No can do. The medicinal herbs garden was part of Mom’s memories in the Larson residence. I can’t

let it disappear just like that,” she vowed internally.

Thereafter, she picked up her phone and called someone anxiously.

“Edward, I want to plant a medicinal herbs garden in the Larson residence again.”

“You must be hoping that I can help you collect all sorts of medicinal herbs!”

“The medicinal herbs garden had always been my mother’s pride and joy. She worked hard to nurture

it, but that wrench, Whitney, destroyed it.”

“Don’t be anxious. Such matters are not difficult. Try to see if you can find the list of medicinal herbs

that were originally planted there.”

Edward knew that his sister would not trouble him unless she had a tricky problem that she could not

solve by herself.

Thus, as long as she needed help, he and his brothers would try their best to help her.

After hanging up, Kimberly went to find Esther and John. She wanted to find out more about the

previous medicinal herbs garden.

Since she wanted to rebuild it again, she wished that she could replicate it fully.

After all, she did it mostly because she yearned for her mother.

Esther said, “The original garden was built by Mrs. Larson and me. At the start, I didn’t know anything

and treated the plants like nameless objects. Mrs. Larson then patiently taught me everything like she

was teaching a small child. Mrs. Larson is too kind. She took care of the herbs like they were her own

children. Of course, I know that she was missing you. The herbs were an inseparable connection

between both of you.”

As she spoke, her eyes grew red and filled up with tears.

From Esther’s recollection, Kimberly understood many details regarding the medicinal herbs garden,

which included planting the herbs, the herbs’ names, and the likes.

She then fished out her phone and sent a message to Edward: “Edward, I’ve emailed the basic

information of the medicinal herbs garden to you.”

Soon enough, she received a reply that read: “Kimberly, I’ve received it. You can build. the garden

again in around a week. Rest assured!”

With his generous help, it was not difficult for Kimberly to build the medicinal herbs. garden again.

Apart from the medicinal herbs garden, she would still make some tweaks and adjustments to the

design and functions of the house.

For example, she wanted to build a playground for her children.

The roar of the car engine could be heard. It signaled Olivia’s return.

Olivia had been out liaising with Vincent’s lawyers to discuss the intricacies of the case.

She had always been like that.

No matter what case she got, she would exert her best efforts to prepare adequately.

When dinnertime rolled around, the dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

When Kimberly lived with Christopher previously, there were many housekeepers.

However, she liked to cook in the kitchen. Perhaps, she trusted the famous saying that the way to a

man’s heart was through his stomach.

She was very attentive and considerate, and her culinary skills improved exponentially. However,

Christopher did not care about her.

If he was not outside having business meals, he would be enjoying a candlelit dinner

with Kiara.

Kimberly’s efforts went to waste.

When they were having their meal, she noticed that Olivia’s expression was not good. It was as if the

latter was worried and sad about something.

Kimberly placed Olivia’s favorite dish on her plate.

“What’s the matter with you today, Ollie? Have you encountered any tricky problems or upsetting

events?” she inquired.

Olivia placed the dish that Kimberly gave her into her mouth. Suddenly, she halted and slammed her

fork down.

“Kimberly, guess who I met today?”

Kimberly stared at the agitated Olivia and reckoned that there was only one person who could make

her so angry.

“Jaxon Nightingale.”

Jaxon Nightingale was their senior in school.

He was the campus hunk in law school, and all the girls adored him.

However, he fell in love with Olivia at first sight.

Back then, Jaxon and Olivia were a publicly-acknowledged power couple. They were both capable and

good-looking.

Everyone agreed that they went well together.

Kimberly even believed that they would continue together for the rest of their lives.

However, Jaxon suddenly wanted to break up with Olivia and went overseas. There was radio silence

from him henceforth.

The two people did not have any more communication.

For a long period, Olivia was devastated. She indulged in a life of decadence.

She would either be sleeping in the dormitory or watching television programs.

She sk ipped classes and voluntarily went into a downward spiral.



However, it was as if she suddenly woke up from her nightmare one day.

Everyone found it unbelievable, but she started exerting a lot of effort in school. She was either at

lectures or in the library.

That time, Kimberly had accompanied her all the way. She was keenly aware of how difficult it had

been for her best friend.

“You’re saying that Jaxon is Vincent’s legal counsel?”

Olivia picked at her food and nodded.

“That’s pretty melodramatic. I didn’t expect that you’d meet each other like this after so many years.

However, his arrival discomfited you greatly. Honestly speaking, have you let go of him after all these

years?” Kimberly asked.

It was as if the dishes were to Olivia’s taste that day. She lowered her head and kept eating the food.

Chapter 18

When she heard Kimberly’s question, she paused.

“If I was that ignorant and naive Olivia of the past, I’d naturally be unable to move on. However, we’ve

already passed the young and inexperienced age. Now that I’ve met him again, I just wonder why the

person that had devastated me so and whom I could sacrifice my life for is just unremarkable.”

When Kimberly heard that, she felt assured.

She thought, “Perhaps this is maturity!”

“Then there will be many times when you have to interact with him at work. Is that a problem? If you

find it awkward, I can tell Vincent and get him to change his legal. representative.”

Olivia was Kimberly’s best friend. Kimberly was unwilling to see her friend suffer the slightest bit of

grievance.

She especially did not want to let Jaxon hurt Olivia again.

“It’s all right, Kimberly. Those are work affairs. I can handle it well. Jaxon had always been in charge of

this case. If Vincent makes a switch suddenly, the progress might be hindered. Have you forgotten that

an outstanding lawyer will not be influenced by external matters? This is the most basic

professionalism I should possess.”

Thereafter, the two ladies simultaneously raised the wine glasses in their hands.

A crisp sound of glass clinking sounded out. The two ladies looked at each other and smiled as they

gently sipped a mouthful of liquid.

It was as if they were proclaiming to the world that they were undefeatable queens.

Even though they were weak in their youth, those memories had already been erased. through their

sheer wit and tenacity.

Even though someone picked at their scabs once more that day, it would not hurt them

much.

They might even be grateful to the person who had treated them so cruelly in the past.

Olivia placidly said, “Now that I’ve become part of Inferno, I have to thank him.”
