My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 702

Chapter 702:

Lise sat across from Billie at a quiet dinner table, the air between them heavy with unspoken thoughts.

She had no idea where Kristopher was, and the uncertainty gnawed at her, filling her chest with unease.

Her mind kept circling back to one relentless worry: Carrie was also in Isonridge. What if the two of them

Lise maintained her gentle smile, though a flicker of dissatisfaction stirred beneath her poised exterior.

She carefully placed a shrimp ball into Billie's bowl, her tone light but calculated. “Mom, don’t you think it's

strange? Kristopher’s trip to Isonridge is taking far longer than expected. It’s just a contract signing, not some

overseas project.”
