He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking. Chapter 252
Seeing that, Leo couldn’t tell whether he was relieved or disappointed.Maybe both.His emotions were such a mess that he didn’t know what to say next.They stood there in silence for a while before Nina finally spoke.“If there’s nothing else, I should probably head home.”This time, Leo didn’t try to stop her.“I’ll drive you.”By the time they were on the road, Nina had already gotten her emotions under control.Leo had helped her so much. Now he was simply asking her to handle something that fell well within the scope of her work, and the research materials would benefit her tremendously too.She had no reason to read anything more into it.All she needed to do was focus on the research and do her job well.Leo, on the other hand, remained unusually quiet the entire drive.He couldn’t shake the feeling that something had gone wrong somewhere.He just couldn’t figure out what.Over the next few days, Nina spent most of her time studying the material Leo had given her.

Nina nodded. Of course she remembered.“Is she interested in this kind of research too?”“Yeah.” Leo confirmed her guess. “This is her dream.”Nina gave a faint smile. “That’s quite a coincidence.”There weren’t that many people interested in this field to begin with, especially women.But the smile didn’t last.So that was why he was willing to go to such lengths.It was all for the woman he loved.And if he was willing to give Nina these materials, then he was probably hoping she could make progress with the research and eventually share the results with that woman.Nina had dealt with arrangements like that before.As long as the terms were made clear from the beginning and no one crossed the line, she had no problem with it. There were some resources she might never gain access to on her own, no matter how long she worked.If both sides benefited, that was simply collaboration.In the past, she had always been able to accept that kind of arrangement without a second tho

They walked over to Leo’s desk.He opened a drawer, pulled out a slim research packet, and handed it to her.The moment Nina saw the cover, her eyes widened.“How did you get this?”The Bode Institute had recently published a paper in “Nature” detailing a breakthrough in the safe insertion of large DNA sequences into cells.The new technique allowed researchers to generate single-stranded DNA templates directly inside the cell nucleus, making it possible to precisely insert DNA sequences thousands of base pairs long while avoiding the immune response associated with double-stranded DNA.It could have major implications for treating genetic diseases such as hemophilia and cystic fibrosis by allowing researchers to insert entire functional genes.And the material Leo had just handed her was directly related to that work.The paper itself had only just been published. Most of the research had never been presented anywhere else, and some of the information in Leo’s hands went far b

But once Nina followed him into the kitchen, she noticed Leo seemed to be avoiding her.Well, not exactly avoiding her.He just wouldn’t meet her eyes.Several times, their gazes almost crossed, but Leo was always the first to look away.It went on for quite a while before he finally seemed to relax.Since he didn’t say anything, Nina didn’t ask. Everyone had things they preferred to keep private, and she was a guest in his home. It was better to respect his boundaries.Leo had said she could help, but in reality, he barely let her do anything.He wouldn’t let her chop vegetables because he was worried she might cut herself.He wouldn’t even let her help prep the ingredients because he didn’t want her getting her hands messy.And he definitely wouldn’t let her near the stove, afraid she might burn herself.So Nina spent most of the time standing off to the side.Even then, Leo kept making her stand farther back, worried the heat and cooking smells might bother her.Fortunat

The moment the words left her mouth, Leo laughed.He folded his arms and leaned casually against the refrigerator, looking effortlessly relaxed.“So that’s what this is about. You’re afraid of eating my cooking, aren’t you?” he teased. “Worried I’m terrible at it? That you won’t be able to stomach it?”He raised a brow.“Relax. I don’t get many chances to show it, but I can cook.”And not just a little.There were several dishes he was especially good at.That was something he had learned from his father.In Leo’s family, no one bought into the old-school idea that cooking was somehow a woman’s job. If anything, the men in his family took pride in taking care of their wives.As far back as Leo could remember, his father had cooked all the time, usually making whatever his mother happened to be craving. When it came to food, her preferences always came first, even before Leo’s.His grandfather used to tell him that there was nothing unmanly about knowing how to cook, and certa

“G-Give it to me?”“Yeah. G-give it to you.”Leo deliberately mimicked her stammer.Nina flushed, assuming he was teasing her. “Mr. Taylor, stop joking around.”But Leo looked completely serious.“Do I look like I’m joking?”But she really couldn’t accept something like that.Forget the price of the car itself. Even the insurance, maintenance, and gas would be more than she could afford.Nina looked at him helplessly. “Mr. Taylor...”Seeing the troubled look on her face, Leo finally let it go.“All right. I’m just messing with you.”With that, he led her upstairs, pretending the whole thing had been nothing more than a joke.But he knew better.He hadn’t been joking at all.He had simply disguised the truth as a joke because it was the only way he could say it.He wanted to give her cars, houses, jewelry, designer bags, anything she wanted.But wanting to was all he could do.He had no right to give her any of those things.An elevator from the garage led directly int
