The moment Samuel looked his way and called his name, the smile on Soren’s face froze.

One second ago, he had been enjoying his brother’s misfortune. The next, the pressure to produce a child had landed on him.

Karma had arrived far too quickly.

“I only just got married. There is no need to rush, is there?”

Soren suddenly felt like a schoolboy being ordered to finish an impossible assignment.

“You are not in a hurry, but I am. You still have your whole youth ahead of you. How many years do I ha

    Crash.The glass slipped from Wanda’s hand and shattered across the floor.“Nola, do not talk nonsense. Do not say things like that. I have never wanted to get married. I do not believe in marriage. Just stop.”Her face had gone pale.She crouched at once to gather the broken pieces, moving too quickly. One shard sliced across her finger.“Hiss.”Wanda jerked her hand back.“You are bleeding. I am sorry. This is my fault.”If Nola had not frightened her with that joke, she would not have cut herself in the first place.“It is fine. Just a small cut.”Wanda wrapped the finger in a tissue, but blood soaked through almost immediately.Seeing it would not stop, Meryl said, “Nola, take her to a nurse.”“Right.”Nola pulled Wanda out.As they left, Soren came through the door carrying several bags.&ldq

    The entire room went still.Joren could hardly believe what he had heard.Bring the divorce papers and sign them here?His eyes went straight to Nola.She sat there smiling.He had no idea what she had done, but somehow, she had actually made Blythe agree.Calder was no less surprised.He had only just persuaded Samuel. Blythe had been the real obstacle. She would rather faint every few days than allow the divorce, making the whole matter nearly impossible to resolve.And now she had changed her mind?Around the table, everyone traded uncertain looks.No one had expected divorce papers to come up over dinner.Samuel had no wish to ruin the meal.“There is no need to rush. Eat first. We will sit down afterward and deal with it properly.”Once dinner was over, everyone moved to the living room.There, before the two elders, Joren and Julie formally signed the divorce agr

    “What kind of plan? Beat her until she agrees?”Joren knew how Nola usually handled problems and shook his head.“Do not do that. If she sues you again, it will only create more trouble.”“Of course I am not using force. Just wait for the good news.”With her backpack bouncing against her shoulders, Nola dashed away.Joren watched her go and sighed.He had failed to persuade both Blythe and Julie. What could Nola, an outsider, possibly do?Before Nola even reached the door, Julie’s crying carried out from inside.“He said everyone agreed. Is that true? You did not agree too, did you?”“Of course I did not.”Blythe already had a headache over the matter. She had never expected Samuel to listen to Calder and approve Joren’s divorce from Julie.She had just argued with Samuel because of it.Melissa tried to calm Julie.“Go back for now. The old madam will find a way. Do not worry.”“All right.”Julie trusted Blythe’s methods.Otherwise, how could Blythe have ever become the mistress of t

    Joren soon reached the dining table.Before taking his seat, his gaze moved across the room and came to rest on Wanda.“We have a guest?”His tone was mild, almost indifferent.Brina smiled. “Yes. This is Wanda, Nola and Meryl’s aunt.”“Hello.”Joren gave her a slight nod, polite and formal.Every trace of color drained from Wanda’s face.She forced herself to recover, stood too quickly, and answered, “Hello.”She did not dare meet those deep eyes. The moment the word left her mouth, she sat back down.Joren took his seat as well and looked away, as though he had truly done nothing more than greet an ordinary guest.Nola watched the two of them from the corner of her eye.Go on. Keep pretending.No one else noticed anything. Samuel announced the start of dinner.After the meal, Samuel called Nola aside to speak with her alone.Wanda returned to The Anchorage first.The path took her past the ornamental pond and through a stretch of green bamboo. At the far end stood a tall figure.By

    “Aunt Wanda, stop refusing.”“Yeah, just go along with Nola’s plan,” Xian added.To settle the matter, Nola called Calder directly.“Hello, Mr. Rook.”“What is it? Meryl woke up, did she not?”His voice came through the phone.“Yes. She finally woke up. Soren is with her now. I am trying to find somewhere for Aunt Wanda to stay...”Before Nola could finish, Calder said, “She can stay with you at The Anchorage. How does that sound?”“Perfect. That is exactly what I wanted, but she thinks it will be inconvenient. She wants to stay at a hotel.”“It will not be inconvenient. She is family too. You decide. Make sure she is comfortable.”Calder left the matter in Nola’s hands.Nola ended the call with a pleased smile.“There. Mr. Rook personally invited you. You cannot refuse now.”“But...”Wanda still hesitated, though Xian had already put his foot down. Before long, the car was pulling into the Rook estate.As they passed the fountain, Nola spotted Joren standing beside it on the phone.A

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   96 The Person She Did Not Want to See

    “H... hi.”Xian’s face turned red as he greeted her. He made no attempt to deny it.“He is not my boyfriend. He is my classmate. He is also my brother in law’s cousin. His name is Xian.”Nola cleared up the misunderstanding.“Oh. Hello.”Wanda did not ask anything else.After leaving the airport, she insisted on going straight to the hospital. She wanted to see Meryl first.At the hospital, Meryl had drifted back to sleep after briefly waking.Soren had not left her side.Nola and Xian brought Wanda over and introduced everyone.The moment Soren saw Wanda, he paused.She looked far too much like Meryl.Their temperaments were different, though. Wanda was more mature, striking, and commanding. Her beauty carried an edge. Meryl’s was softer, quieter.Even so, Soren did not think much of it.After checking with the doctor, Nola and Wanda were allowed into the room.The sight of her elder niece lying in bed broke what little control Wanda had left.“Meryl, Aunt Wanda came back to see you.
