Finally, they arrived in Radford.
Felix breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that they made it through the journey.
He was really afraid that Christopher would lose control and go over to fight his love rival.
After getting off the plane, Christopher strode along and deliberately stopped next to Kimberly.
He sized Kimberly and Gerald up as though they were strangers.
He smiled lightly and passed by them without saying anything.
Felix caught up with Gerald from behind with their luggage. He nodded at Kimberly and waved at her
as he left.
Kimberly commented, “He’s not a good person, but his subordinate is quite polite.”
Gerald wouldn’t let Christopher’s appearance affect Kimberly’s mood.
He changed the subject and tried to be considerate, something he was best at.
Kimberly looked a little tired. While asking about her condition, he touched her forehead. He enjoyed
the warmth of her body.
Gerald was born with the aura of a doctor.
His concern toward people was really intense. Although Genevieve was there, Gerald acted as if no

Kimberly almost surrendered at his gentleness.
She felt a bit awkward and spoke. “It’s okay. I’m fine. It’s just that I haven’t been on a business trip for a
long time. I’m just a little out of place.”
Gerald made sure she didn’t have a fever. Only then did he withdraw his hand.
Along the way, Genevieve got used to Gerald’s warm and domineering attitude toward Kimberly.
Genevieve’s love experience was zero. When she was a student, she wanted to learn more skills. As
soon as she enrolled in the university, she made a rule to not fall in love with anyone.
After graduating, she dedicated herself to her job. The door to her love life was tightly

shut.
She gained something unexpected during this business trip. She got to see how a warm- hearted man
behaved.
The seminar was
tomorrow.
Radford was a fantastic place to enjoy delicious food and local customs.
Kimberly was here for the first time, and she came here in a rush.
It seemed that this was Genevieve’s first time too, so she hadn’t made any plans.
This gave Gerald a chance.
Although he had arranged everything, he still respected Kimberly’s opinion. “The seminar will only start
tomorrow. What are your plans today?”
Kimberly shrugged.
This was just exactly what Gerald intended.
If she had any plans, he would have to act shamelessly, clinging onto her like super glue.
Nonetheless, he could call the shots right now.
Gerald announced confidently, “Just leave it to me. I’m very familiar with Radford. I promise to be the
most competent tour guide with a five-star service.”
Kimberly thought it was too much trouble for him. After all, they were not that close.
He saw through her intention to refuse.
He retorted, “There are no men around taking care of the two of you while you’re on a trip. This is really
not acceptable. I hope you don’t refuse this opportunity.”
Indeed, Gerald was good at persuading people.
Kimberly sometimes wondered if he had mind-reading skills. Every time, he could see through her
doubts and overcome them one by one.
Kimberly’s car hadn’t arrived yet, as it was still stuck in traffic.
By this time, Gerald’s limousine had arrived and was waiting for its VIP passengers.
Kimberly initially didn’t want to bother Gerald.
Nevertheless, when she was in a dilemma, Gerald said warmly. “Radford is a popular
tourist spot all
year round. Traffic jams are one of the biggest problems.”
He was just reminding Kimberly that her car was stuck in traffic and wouldn’t be here anytime soon.
It would be better if she just accepted his help.
Kimberly hesitated for a moment and strode into the car.
It had been a tiring journey. She would be in a bad mood if she still had to wait for her
car.
Furthermore, she felt sorry for Genevieve too.
She was more relaxed after solving all the worries in her heart. “Okay. Both of us are in your hands
today!”
Gerald smiled warmly and replied, “I’m glad to be at your service.”
Kimberly’s wariness against Gerald made him very unhappy.
However, she gave in eventually, so he felt a sense of achievement.
The driver was indeed a know-it-all of Radford. Soon, he took them to Radford’s
famous cuisine spot using some shortcuts.
They came to a revolving restaurant in Radford’s tallest building.
The restaurant could rotate, and diners could have a 360-degree view of the whole city. The cityscape
was stunning, and the dining experience was very cozy.
On the way here, Genevieve actually wanted to look for an excuse to let the other two spend some
time alone.
Nonetheless, she didn’t dare to abandon Kimberly rashly.
Thus, she continued to be an invisible person.
On the other hand, Gerald unexpectedly took good care of her. Besides, Kimberly was good at taking
care of her as well.
In the end, it didn’t seem as awkward as she had imagined.
When they arrived, Gerald raised his head and saw a familiar figure at the entrance.
It was Christopher and his party.
They also came to this internet-famous restaurant.
It was widely spread on social media that if you didn’t come to this revolving restaurant, you came to
Radford for nothing.
It seemed that Christopher had also become very cliché.
Kimberly noticed Gerald’s gaze and follows its direction.
The world was so small. She could see Christopher anywhere.
As if they had a tacit understanding, when Kimberly looked over, Christopher raised his head and met
her eyes.
He was dressed in a black tailor-made suit. His cufflinks were very unique. They shone brightly under
the warm lighting.
He walked to Kimberly’s table and started a conversation. “Kimberly, we’re destined to run into each
other I guess.””
Kimberly went numb when she heard Christopher call her.
She cursed in her heart, ‘What’s wrong with
you?
He took his time, pulled out an empty chair, and sat down. “I didn’t expect to meet you again just after
we separated at the airport. Don’t you think it’s fate?”
Facing the strong offensive of his love rival, Gerald remained calm and collected. “Mister, my fiancée
doesn’t seem to know you very well. If we happen to meet again in the future, you should call her Ms.
Larson. Of course, I don’t mind you calling her Mrs. Patterson.”
Genevieve was initially eating. She was shocked by the argument between the two handsome men in
front of her.
It seemed that the battles between manly CEOs in TV series and online novels were much weaker than
this.
She didn’t expect that she would meet the manly CEOs in real life today. Plus, they were the top-notch
ones.
It was a real eye-catcher.
Christopher didn’t back down either and retorted, “Mr. Patterson, I think
know
you don’t
your so-called fiancée well enough. We’re husband and wife with three children. Don’t you think we
know each other well?”
Gerald knew everything about Kimberly clearly.
He didn’t expect that Christopher would officially declare himself to be Kimberly’s ex-
husband on such an occasion.
