Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 28 – Did She Care?
Brandon’s POVAs we got our orders, Vivian slid a folder across the table. “Just a few final numbers from the French office,” she said. “I’d still like your take before I send them in.”I flipped it open, skimming the spreadsheets. “Looks clean. The integration with our team’s projections checks out.”She nodded, taking a sip of her drink. “Good. I want this to go smoothly. No surprises.”I closed the folder. “You’ve handled it well. Especially with the timing.”Vivian smiled faintly. “Well… I did have good company while I recovered.”I didn’t say anything. She leaned her elbow on the table and tilted her head.“You know,” she added, almost casually, “speaking of company... your lawyer, Natalie. It kind of feels like she doesn’t like me much.”I glanced at her. “Why do you say that?” I said and took a bite of the steak in front of me.Vivian let out a soft chuckle, brushing her fingers lightly against her glass. “I mean, every time we talk, she keeps it very short. Polite, but distant

Natalie’s POV“I told you, we were both drunk,” Emma said for the third time as she hugged a pillow to her chest. “It just… happened.”I raised an eyebrow. “You don’t ‘just happen’ into bed with Lucas unless something else is going on.”She groaned and hid her face. “Don’t analyze it like a lawyer. I already feel like trash.”I laughed softly and nudged her with my foot. “You’re not trash. Just… a little recyclable.”That got a smile out of her, and finally, she stopped hiding her face. We talked a bit more, and eventually she leaned her head on my shoulder and let out a sigh.“You don’t hate me, right?”“Of course not,” I said. “But next time, maybe don’t sleep with a billionaire who has a wine cellar larger than my entire apartment.”She snorted. “No promises.”Later, I headed back to the office and got caught up on pending cases. It didn’t take long before Dylan cornered me by the printer with that look on his face, curious and nosy.“So? How was France?” he asked, handing me a fre

Natalie’s POVI didn’t plan to visit the hospital, but something kept bugging me, so I ended up going anyway.Pierre met me in the lobby. He looked a little surprised to see me, but not in a bad way.“Mr. York stayed with her all night,” he said as we stepped into the elevator. “He really cares about her.”I didn’t answer. Just nodded. I didn’t want to assume anything but when the doors opened and I saw them from the hallway, I couldn’t ignore the way she was leaning on him. Then slowly, her hands wrapped around him.And he didn’t pull away.Something sharp twisted in my chest.It wasn’t the first time I’d seen him hug another woman. Not the first time I’d told myself it didn’t matter.But this one felt different.And somehow… the pain cut deeper.When Brandon noticed us standing there, he straightened and gently moved his hand away. Vivian smiled like she’d just won the lottery. Her cheeks were pink, and her eyes were soft, the kind of look you give someone when you know they stayed

Brandon’s POVI wasn’t blind.Natalie had been… different the past few days. She became quieter and less sarcastic; her usual sharp wit dulled into polite smiles and short answers. At first, I figured it was jet lag or maybe work stress. But then I noticed something else: she only acted like that around me.When she was with Pierre? She laughed... a real one. Like she was actually having fun.And I hated how much I noticed that.I found myself watching her more closely. The way her eyes lit up when Pierre showed her something on his phone. The way she relaxed around him, like they’d been friends for years instead of a few days.With me, she kept her guard up.I told myself not to be bothered. She had every right to talk to whoever she wanted. But the truth? I was bothered. Enough that I was a little colder toward Pierre than necessary.While we were all walking back, he kept glancing at Natalie like he couldn’t believe his luck. That annoyed me for reasons I couldn’t even explain.“S

Natalie’s POVPierre and I ended our little sightseeing walk with a quiet dinner at a café tucked between old buildings that smelled like pastries and rain. He was easy to be around. Polite, curious, and not overly chatty... which I appreciated. For the most part, I managed to keep my thoughts off Brandon.Well… mostly.“Want to see something funny?” Pierre asked while we were waiting for dessert.“Sure,” I said, trying not to sound too flat.He pulled out his phone and flipped to an album full of a ridiculously fluffy white dog wearing little costumes... a pirate, a bumblebee, and a tiny beret.I burst out laughing. “You really dressed him up like a baguette?”Pierre grinned. “It was Halloween. He didn’t enjoy it, but the internet did.”I found myself smiling without effort. “I needed that.”“I figured.”We walked back, still talking about his dog, and for a brief moment, I felt… lighter. Until I spotted two very familiar figures up ahead.Brandon and Vivian.He had his hands in his
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 23 – France
Natalie’s POVI wasn’t sure what was more uncomfortable... sitting this close to him on a long flight or pretending like nothing almost happened between us a few nights ago.Thankfully, he didn’t bring it up. Not even a hint. No smirk, no teasing remark, just… silence. Professional silence.“We’re still waiting on the signed deed from the municipal office,” I said after flipping through the case folder. “Should come in by Thursday.”He nodded. “Good. That gives us room to start negotiations.”That was it. Cold, safe, business talk. I could live with that.Halfway through the flight, he leaned a little closer and tapped his pen against the margin of the document I was reviewing.“Our client, Vivian Sinclair,” he said. “Heir to the Sinclair family business. You familiar with her?”I glanced up. “Heard of her. Rumor says she’s practically royalty in France. Smart, strategic, with a good reputation.”“And pretty,” he added, almost absentmindedly.I didn’t respond to that. Just smiled a li
