ANMELDENLiam broke free from Yvonne’s arms and charged straight at Nina like an angry little bull.It was obvious he was using all his strength.Nina didn’t move away at first. She waited until he was almost right in front of her, then suddenly stepped to the side.With nothing there to stop him, Liam crashed straight into the railing beside her.A large bump immediately rose on his forehead, and blood started streaming down his face.He was terrified and instantly burst into loud sobs.Yvonne rushed over and scooped him into her arms. As she tried to stop the bleeding, she snapped at Nina, “Why did you move?”Nina almost laughed.What kind of logic was that?Someone charged at her, and she wasn’t even allowed to step aside?But she didn’t argue.Instead, she used their own logic against them.“I didn’t move. He ran into it himself.”Yvonne trembled with anger, but there was nothing she could do. She could only turn to James for help.“James…”Before she could continue, Nina cut
By the time Nina arrived, Yvonne was already there, standing by the pond with Liam and feeding the koi.The moment Yvonne saw her, she put on a look of pure fury, as if she wanted to tear Nina apart.“What are you doing here?”Nina ignored her.Instead, she picked up a small pebble from the ground and tossed it straight into the pond.The koi that had been gathered around Liam immediately scattered in every direction.Liam burst into tears.He glared at Nina viciously.“Old woman! Bad woman!”Those were the only two insults he ever used, and Nina couldn’t have cared less.Seeing him upset only made her feel better.So she looked at him even more provocatively.Yvonne immediately pulled Liam into her arms and comforted him softly.Then she turned back to Nina with the same vicious glare.“I asked you a question. What are you doing here? Do you even know what day it is? This is the Gibson family’s New Year gathering. Do you really think you belong here?”Nina stood with he
But if she stayed here and kept refusing to leave, she couldn’t guarantee that James would not run into Leo.After thinking it over, she finally decided to go with him.If she went, at least she would be the only one disgusted by it.Leo wouldn’t be affected.Even so, Nina didn’t ride with James.She called a car for herself and followed behind him separately.After getting in, Nina planned to let Leo know.But she wasn’t sure whether he was still there, so when the call connected, she asked first, “Mr. Taylor, are you still in the hospital room?”“I am.”Leo answered quickly.In truth, he hadn’t left at all.He had been waiting anxiously in the room the entire time.Several times, he had wanted to open the door and go after her, but he was afraid of causing trouble for her, so in the end, he held himself back.Nina was a little surprised that he was still there.But given the current situation, she explained, “I’m sorry for making you wait. Something came up, so I probab
His jaw clenched hard, the muscles tight.Every breath he took seemed to carry violence and anger.Nina honestly didn’t understand why he was so furious.She had only told the truth.They were getting divorced. What she did had nothing to do with him anymore.Besides, compared to what he had done, she hadn’t done anything wrong at all.What a lunatic.She couldn’t even be bothered to curse him out anymore.James kept staring at her.When she didn’t speak, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.“Take back what you just said.”“Why should I?”Nina shook him off.“Because I won’t allow it,” James said, glaring at her.“And who do you think you are?”“Who do I think I am?”James gave a cold laugh and stepped toward her, closing the distance between them inch by inch.“I am still your husband in the eyes of the law. I am the man who can decide what happens to you.“I said, take back what you just said.”Nina genuinely thought he had lost his mind.Worried that he m
“You won’t be my husband for much longer,” Nina said coldly.“That isn’t up to you.”“And you think it’s up to you?”At that, James gave a cold laugh.“Do you have to talk to me like this?”Nina glanced at him with open contempt.“How else am I supposed to talk to you? I’m already being polite.”If she hadn’t been holding herself back, far worse words would have already come out.“Just leave. I have nothing to say to you. If the two of us need to meet again, it’ll be in court.”She couldn’t even be bothered to ask why he had come today.After dismissing him, she turned to leave.But just as she took a step, James suddenly spoke behind her.“What’s the rush? Is someone waiting for you in the room?”Nina stopped instantly.Someone was waiting for her.But not in the filthy way he meant it.His tone was frivolous, suggestive, and completely disrespectful.“What are you implying?” Nina demanded.“Isn’t it obvious?” James stood and walked toward her. “Do I need to remind y
Nina knew exactly why the nurse had come to get her.She had told the nurses in advance that if James showed up, they could turn him away without asking her. That was what they had always done before.So if the nurse had come to tell her this time, it had to mean the situation was getting out of hand.Knowing James and his shameless personality, he had probably tried everything. Pressure, threats, intimidation. Maybe even bribery.If this had been before, Nina wouldn’t have minded going head-to-head with him. She had nothing to fear. Worst case, she could call the police.But today, because Leo was here, she didn’t want to do that.Whether she admitted it or not, somewhere deep down, she still wanted to leave a good impression on him.The messy, ugly, humiliating parts of her life were things she didn’t want him to see.So she turned to Leo and spoke apologetically.“I’m sorry. I need to step out for a bit.”As she spoke, Nina noticed what he was wearing.He looked especiall
