My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back by Cheryl Moore

Chapter 187

Gerald was overjoyed when he saw Kimberly anxiously trying to get out of the situation.

If no one else was around, he wouldn’t have stopped himself from dancing in joy.

Still, he couldn’t let loose just like that.

There was still a long way to go before he could achieve his goals.

His eyes were full of affection as he listened to Kimberly’s words.

He was surprised to feel a little sweet and warm.

The information he had received was the same. Kimberly’s parents were gone.

So, naturally, Kimberly’s five elder brothers were her family.

Now, Kimberly was about to introduce him to her family. He felt as if he were enjoying the privileges of

a “son-in-law.”

Gerald exhibited a gentle demeanor as he followed Kimberly, heading toward David and the others.

Gerald was a formidable CEO, but at that moment, he appeared more like an enthusiastic young

spouse as he trailed behind Kimberly.

David was the backbone of the family.

So, Kimberly walked right up to David and said, “David, this is Gerald Patterson, the CEO of Patterson

Finance Group.”

Of course, David knew that the man in front of him was an influential figure.

But they were currently attending a private gathering.

So, Gerald was there today as a friend of Kimberly’s.

He was neither humble nor overbearing, so David regarded him as a good friend of Kimberly’s. David

also thought of Gerald as a potential candidate for the position of his brother-in-law.

If Gerald knew that David had thought of him like that, he would be super elated!

Gerald said politely, “Mr. Larson, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Pardon my intrusion today.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his right hand elegantly. He was

displaying his business etiquette to the fullest.

Gerald was Kimberly’s friend, so of course, David took him very seriously.

Moreover, Gerald was a very prominent figure as well.

Many people were dying to establish connections with him.

David lifted his gaze as he examined Gerald closely.

He shook Gerald’s hand gently. “Welcome. A friend of Kimberly’s is a friend of ours.”

Kimberly then introduced her brothers in turn.

When Kimberly introduced Simon, Gerald also showed respect for the popular celebrity.

He said, “I’ve heard about you. You’re an internationally renowned superstar, and you’ve just returned

after winning a grand award at the International Film Festival. Many major businesses are trying to

partner with you right now!”

Gerald didn’t pay much attention to celebrities. He only knew about Simon because his company had

been looking for a spokesperson recently.

Simon, recently quite popular and holding an international award, wielded influence both locally and

internationally.

The head of the Marketing Department had just sent Gerald the documents regarding Simon and

several other candidates.

No matter how powerful he was, he faced challenges as well.

Gerald understood the importance of branding for a company.

He had always treated it as a top priority.

Even though he was in Dellmoor, he attended to the matter personally, and he made sure that there

were no mistakes.

Simon was quite surprised as well.

A CEO of Gerald’s level would definitely be a valuable backer.

Simon was famous now, but he knew the power of capital very well.

He shifted from his usual humorous temperament as he said seriously, “You flatter me,

Mr. Patterson.”

Gerald was quite a decisive man.

After comparing the candidates, he found that Simon was indeed the most outstanding

of them all. So, his publicity effect should be the best as well.

Even though they were at a private gathering, Gerald wouldn’t mind settling this business here.

It would be like icing on the cake.

Gerald looked straight at Simon and said in a very business-like tone, “Mr. Larson, are you interested in

becoming the ambas sador of our company?”

This offer felt like a pie in the sky, but it had truly happened today.

And it just so happened to fall into Simon’s lap.

Simon had a look of disbelief on his face, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

When Kimberly saw that even her handsome brother Simon would turn speechless from shock, she put

on a wicked grin.

She even nudged Simon with her hand, indicating that his backer was still waiting for

an answer.

At moments like this, Simon’s sister, Kimberly, was, of course, going to give him a hand.

Kimberly said, “Isn’t this the exact goal you’ve been fighting for, Simon? Look, the great Mr. Patterson

is still waiting for you to say yes. Hurry up. Just shake hands and consider the partnership agreement

sealed.”

Gerald couldn’t keep his eyes off Kimberly’s bright and charming appearance.

Gerald smiled dotingly when he heard Kimberly referring to him as “the great Mr. Patterson.”

Kimberly reacted quickly, probably worried that Gerald might change his mind or that he was just

joking. Surprisingly, she suggested they should shake hands to seal the deal.

After Kimberly nudged him, Simon came back to his senses, pulling himself away from his excitement.

Despite being an international star, Simon obeyed his younger sister’s words and hurriedly extended

his hand.

Kimberly was very smart. She took out her phone, turned on the camera, and then took a picture of the

historical moment.

Gerald and Simon both had good looks.

Kimberly lowered her head to admire her masterpiece.

She said teasingly to Simon, “Simon, the next time you ask me for this photo, I’m going to charge you.”

Kimberly’s mischievous behavior amused everyone.

The three little ones grew tired from playing, so they ran over to talk to Kimberly.

Sure enough, children would only think of their mothers when they got hungry.

As the three little ones saw it, of all the people present, two of the guests were newcomers. Those two

were the new guests at the Larson residence.

Genevieve was one of them, and Gerald was the other one.

Genevieve had played with them for a while, so they were friends with Genevieve.

The tall and handsome man was quite good-looking, just like their father.

Candice was so hungry that her stomach growled. She took a kebab from David.

As she ate, she admired the handsome guy. Then she voiced, “Mommy, who is this handsome man?

He’s as handsome as Dad!”

Kimberly put a hand to her forehead, feeling speechless at Candice’s actions.

Kimberly wondered if Candice had already developed her sense of aesthetics at such a

young age.

Candice was only a few years old, and she didn’t even know how to spell the word “handsome.” How

could she know what it meant?

Kimberly was a good mother, so even if she was exasperated with Candice’s question, she would still

give an appropriate answer.

“This is my friend. He’s the one who helped me catch the bad guys back then,” Kimberly whispered to

the three children.

Dexter’s eyes lit up instantly. He wondered if the man was actually Batman who could fight monsters or

a police officer who could catch bad guys.

Dexter asked curiously, “Mister, are you a superhero? Or are you a policeman?”

Gerald was surprised that Kimberly had chosen to introduce him to the children this

Simultaneously, Dexter’s imagination astonished him.

Gerald crouched down as he smiled at Dexter, who had an eager look on his face. “I’m not Batman or a

police officer. I’m your mommy’s good friend, just like the good friends you have in kindergarten!”

He was probably worried that the children didn’t know about friendship between adults.

So, he was even kind enough to use a metaphor.

When Kimberly heard that, she was greatly impressed by Gerald.
