Chapter 18

Author: Cloud Muse
The single word seemed to come out of nowhere, and Nina had no idea what he meant.

She couldn’t be bothered to think about it. After reading the message, she deleted it without much thought.

Five minutes later, James contacted her again.

This time, he called.

The moment the call connected, his cold voice came through.

“Didn’t you see my message?”

Nina didn’t want to argue with him.

“I saw it.”

“You saw it and didn’t reply?”

“What address?”

“What do you think? Didn’t you ask Grandma for

    Yvonne was the first to react.Her fingers paused as she poured the wine, and displeasure and anger quickly surfaced on her face.She had seen Nina earlier too.Nina did look better than usual today.But compared to her, Nina was still far behind.Even so, Yvonne couldn’t stand the thought of attention that belonged to her being taken away.First, it had been Tyler.Now, it was Xavier.They were all supposed to revolve around her.Tyler’s expression remained calm, giving nothing away.James, on the other hand, watched Xavier with a faintly amused look.Being stared at by all of them made Xavier feel awkward.He also thought Simon’s question was ridiculous, so he couldn’t help snapping.“What the hell are you talking about? You’re getting more and more out of line.”Simon raised both hands, showing that he meant no harm to Xavier.His joke had only been aimed at Nina.To Simon, Nina was just someone he could mess with however he wanted.No matter what happened, he liked

    “Nina, what are you planning to give James this year?” Simon began stirring up trouble again. “Since everyone’s here, why don’t you take it out now? That way, you won’t have to give it to James in private and make him pass it around to us later.”The moment he said that, the corners of Yvonne’s lips curved into a mocking smile.Nina shot back, “I already said I didn’t come here because of James. In fact, if I’d known all of you were here, I never would’ve come.”“Who are you trying to fool?” Simon didn’t believe her at all.“Simon.”James finally spoke, as if his patience had run out and he no longer wanted to be part of this farce.“Let’s go. It’s about to start over there.”With that, he wrapped an arm around Yvonne and left.The others followed one after another.All except Xavier.He stood not far from Nina, staring at her.Nina couldn’t stand any of them.Besides, Xavier had bullied her plenty of times in the past too.Her tone was sharp when she said, “What are you l

    “What are you doing here?”Simon was the first to come over, blocking Nina’s path.Nina couldn’t be bothered with him.She tried to walk around him and leave.Unexpectedly, her phone alarm suddenly went off.The reminder she had set began playing out loud.“Today is Jay’s birthday. Remember to wish him a happy birthday.”Nina quickly pulled out her phone and turned it off.It was a reminder she had set a long time ago.Back then, she had been so busy with work and so afraid of forgetting James’s birthday that she had set an alarm for it.After coming back this year, she had been so caught up in everything else that she had completely forgotten James’s birthday.She had also forgotten to cancel the reminder.That was how this awkward scene happened.Unfortunately, they had clearly heard it.Simon looked at her with amusement, as if he had known all along that she had come for this.He deliberately mocked her.“So you came for James’s birthday. Too bad you’re late. You sa

    Jane noticed the change in her.“So? Do you like it?”“It’s not bad. It’s pretty nice.”“Then I’ll bring you here more often. You used to keep yourself wound so tight. You were living for everyone else.”Nina thought about it and realized Jane had a point.The two of them chatted for a while longer before Jane’s phone suddenly rang.That was how her line of work was.A client could call at any moment.Seeing that Nina had relaxed enough, Jane told her she was going outside to take the call.After Jane left, Nina moved to another seat.It was tucked out of the way, so she wouldn’t disturb anyone, and it gave her a better view of the stage.At some point, the performer onstage had changed.Nina was sitting too far away to see the woman’s face clearly. All she could tell was that the woman was tall, elegant, and beautiful.From the moment the woman stepped onstage, the compliments and photos from the audience hadn’t stopped.Everyone seemed to be captivated by her beauty and

    Nina nodded.“I gave it to him.”“Did he say anything?”Nina thought back to what had happened.“Something else came up at the time, so I left the agreement there and walked away. But knowing him, he’ll probably have a lawyer look it over first.”Jane had worked in this field for years, so she understood people like James better than anyone.Having a lawyer review every agreement first was perfectly normal for them.People like them always made sure their own interests were protected first.“Let him,” Jane said. “I have plenty of ways to deal with men like him. If anything happens while I’m gone, contact me anytime.”“Okay.”Nina thought for a moment.“I don’t think it’ll take too long. He probably wants the divorce more than anyone. After all, once we’re divorced, he and Yvonne can be together openly.”Jane was furious.“When you run into a scumbag like that, don’t waste your time fighting him forever. The best thing you can do is get as far away from him as possible.”“

    Megan asked, “Then how does James know someone that powerful?”Of course James didn’t know him.And even if he did, he would never have introduced him to her.For a moment, Nina considered simply telling her the truth.But when she saw the hope in Megan’s eyes and her thin, frail face, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.“I don’t know. Maybe through work,” Nina said as she helped Megan drink some water. “Your most important job right now is to get better.”Megan nodded.Ever since she got sick, she had become especially obedient with Nina.After that, the two of them chatted for a while longer.Then Megan urged Nina to go home, saying it was finally the weekend and she should get some rest.She also reminded Nina not to keep coming to the hospital if there was nothing urgent.She said she would be fine on her own.After leaving the hospital, Nina went straight home.When she opened the door, she discovered that aside from Mochi, Jane was home too.Nina was pleasantly sur
