My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 1066:

Daxton never forgot how closely the Hinks family was tied to Carrie. From the beginning, he’d planned to stay as far from them as possible. Lately though, he had started to notice a shift. Carrie didn’t act like someone who wanted a future with him. Her entire focus was locked on her career, and she had no plans of leaving Mother behind.

In Orkset, she had Kristopher backing her without question. In Isonridge, the Morrison family made sure she had everything she needed. If Daxton wanted to make any moves, he’d have to keep them quiet.

When Alethea dragged Lise into the picture, he figured it would be entertaining to watch them stir up trouble. What he didn’t expect was for Lise to tag along to the hospital and the Music Association—only to do absolutely nothing.

He couldn’t tell whether she was waiting for the perfect moment or if freedom had dulled her edge.

She wasn’t the kind of piece you could just push across the board. And honestly, there was a better one within reach. The Hinks family held as much power as the Morrisons, and Kelsey was desperate to survive. If things kept going the way they were, even the Morrison family might decide the safest option was to send Carrie overseas. When that happened, Daxton would finally have room to act without restrictions.

So, with that goal in mind, he looked at Carrie and said, “Ms. Hinks is right. Let me take you to the hospital, just to be safe.”

From the moment Carrie found out she was tied to the Hinks family, especially when she uncovered Kelsey’s scheme to use her for some medical agenda, she had pulled away completely. The thought of having anything to do with them made her stomach turn.

The jolt of Daxton’s sudden stop, paired with the crash’s jarring impact, left her dazed and disoriented.

She wanted to get herself checked at the hospital, but the thought of the Hinks couple accompanying her made her hesitate.

Still, if she came up with an excuse now, she might draw more attention than she wanted. And that could make things worse. Her head was spinning, and even though she tried to think clearly, no perfect solution came to mind.

Daxton noticed her hesitation, squeezed her hand gently, and murmured, “You’re not alone. I’ve got you.”noveldrama

Something about his voice grounded her. The knot in her chest loosened just a little, and she gave a small nod. “Okay.”

Once the doctor wrapped up the check-up, Daxton gently guided Carrie to a bench in the corridor. “You rest here. I’ll go grab the report.”

Rather than stay behind, Carrie straightened and said, “I’d rather come with you.”

Kelsey, catching on to what she assumed was Carrie’s discomfort at being left alone, said, “It’s alright. I’ll wait with you while he gets it.” Since both Kelsey and Jacob had tests done too, they needed to hang around for their results as well.

Realizing Carrie wanted an excuse to stay away from the Hinks couple, Daxton didn’t miss a beat. “I’m not the best person to handle anything gynecological,” he said. “I might miss something important. Ms. Hinks, if you don’t mind, would you come with me?”
