My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 713:

Carrie clenched her fists. It was all so absurd now, wasn’t it? The entire premise—that Kristopher had protected Lise for the sake of his sister’s heart—was just a flimsy excuse.

How could anyone unconditionally favor someone simply because of a heart?

And yet, Carrie had fallen for that absurd lie.

In the two years they had been together, Kristopher had never truly fallen in love with her, his loyalties constantly wavering between her and Lise.noveldrama

If Lisa had still been alive, would he have been this torn between his sister and his wife?

If Kristopher had truly seen Lise as nothing more than a younger sister, why would he have dated her? And if not for the Norris family’s opposition, they might have even married.

It was hypocritical. Kristopher had accused Carrie of moral failings over her association with Daxton.

Yet, he had once dated a woman he believed carried his sister’s heart. If there were any moral contradictions to consider, it would be Kristopher marrying and having children with someone he had once believed carried his younger sister’s heart.

The Herrera household.

Kathleen burst through the bedroom door, clutching her phone with trembling fingers. “Aliza, there’s been a breakthrough about you and Kristopher. Mr. Norris visited Omar today.”

“What?” Aliza bolted upright in bed, momentarily forgetting her sullen mood over Carrie. Disbelief etched across her features as she processed the news. “That doesn’t make any sense. What could Omar possibly have to do with the Norris family?”

Omar was the son of Kathleen’s sister, thrust into their lives after a tragic accident claimed both of his parents. Blood ties and moral obligations had compelled Kathleen to become his guardian, though her heart had never truly opened to him. Her coldness, combined with Omar’s persistent health issues, meant she kept him at arm’s length. She provided only minimal financial support and relegated him to boarding school, rarely permitting his return to the Herrera household, even during holidays.

After graduation, Omar retreated to company housing, and Kathleen seized the opportunity to cut off his allowance entirely. Their relationship had withered into that of distant strangers.

Kathleen settled onto the edge of the bed, her voice dropping low. “When Omar was young, he underwent a heart transplant in Orkset. Recently, he fell ill and sought treatment at a charity hospital…”

“Mother, can you believe his audacity?” Aliza’s eyes flashed with indignation. “He’s bringing shame upon our family! I already struggle for respect among the elite, treated like some glorified assistant to those socialites. This will only fuel their mockery.”

Kathleen squeezed her daughter’s hand reassuringly. “Listen, darling. There’s more to the story. My people rushed to the hospital to intervene, only to discover Kristopher there with his entourage. That’s when we learned the truth—Omar’s heart once belonged to Kristopher’s sister.”

Aliza’s brow furrowed. “Sister… Kailee?”
