NovelEnglishChapter 266:
He genuinely wanted her, his ex-wife, to intercede with his grandfather regarding his new proposal.
With this thought, Belinda lifted her gaze, meeting Kristopher’s eyes with a frosty glare.
“Don’t you think your request is both over the top and absurd?”
The downfall of their marriage was largely due to Cathy.
Moreover, after her divorce from Kristopher, Belinda was no longer a part of the Cox family. Why should she
concern herself with their affairs?
“Maybe you're right.” Kristopher’s penetrating gaze held firmly on Belinda’s face.
“But Grandpa has always favored you. Over the years, there have been many times he wouldn't be swayed by
me, yet he always listened to you. You are the best person to convince Grandpa about this.”
A pang of sadness touched Belinda’s heart.
Kristopher only saw that Anthony listened to her, that she could influence him in ways he couldn't.

merely because she had been his granddaughter-in-law?
Beneath all of Anthony's “affection” lay three years of Belinda’s consistent care and attention toward him.
Each time, Anthony consented to Kristopher’s requests after witnessing the dedication and commitment she
showed.
Kristopher was oblivious to her behind-the-scenes labor and effort, assuming Anthony's compliance was simply
because he favored her.
Belinda found this tragically humorous.

After three years, even a stone cradled in one’s arms should warm. But Kristopher had not only overlooked her
struggles but also taken them for granted.
Now, after the divorce, when a situation involved Anthony, his first impulse was still to turn to his former wife for
help.
With this realization, Belinda took a deep breath.
“I refuse. This is a matter between you and Cathy. We're divorced, and | have no duty to assist you.”
She turned to descend the stairs, but Kristopher’s cold, resonant voice stopped her.
“Belinda.”
Just two steps down, his words froze her in her tracks.
“Do you remember why you chere to find me?”
Her mind raced. She had chere to find him... She wanted to protect Fred and needed Kristopher to release
him.
Seeing her pause, Kristopher, visibly irritated, adjusted his tie and followed her down the staircase. He stopped
two steps beneath her and turned to face her.
Kristopher’s tall, commanding presence always made Belinda look up when they spoke.
But now, with him standing two steps below, their eyes met at the slevel.
From this proximity, he could clearly read every expression on her face.
