Chapter 10

Author: Yummy Pineapple
The words burst out of Nina. “How did you get in here?”

Miles dangled the keys in his hand with a smug smile. “Honey, did you forget who bought this place?”

The locks had never been changed. His name was still on the deed. Getting a copy of the key had been the easiest thing in the world.

The first time, he had chosen not to come in. He had wanted to give Nina her space. To give them both a little time to cool down.

But after seeing that photo, after being unable to reach her, all his self-control had snapped. Nothing else mattered now.

“This is my home,” Nina said coldly, her expression dark. “I want you to leave.”

“It’s our home,” Miles corrected her.

He lifted a hand and brushed it against the face he loved so obsessively. His gaze softened, full of longing. There was none of the ruthless edge he had shown earlier with Mia.

When he spoke again, his voice was low and hoarse, laced with desire. “Honey... I’ve missed you so much.”

He leaned in, searching for the lips he had dr

    A private jet was already waiting on the tarmac.It was Zayn Jordan who had come to pick him up.The trial overseas was not yet finished. There were still ten hours to go before the next court session.William had to get back in time.“William, why did you come back yourself?”Before they left, Zayn had asked him in puzzlement.Even if it had been an old friend, their firm had no shortage of top lawyers. Anyone else could have handled it.Besides, in recent years, William had gradually stepped into the background. Unless a case was especially difficult, he rarely took on clients anymore.If Nina had been there, she would have recognized this tall, striking man — Zayn Jordan, the founder of SX Law Firm.And the way he treated William was nothing short of deeply respectful.Settling into his seat, William closed his eyes, exhaustion pulling at him. He had not slept for an entire day and night.He had been running non-stop. Now he had to rush overseas for the trial and would ha

    “Do you have a girlfriend?” Nina asked.“I never had a girlfriend before,” William replied.“What?!”Nina stared at him in disbelief. “You’ve never had a girlfriend?”William answered simply. “I’ve been busy with work.”His family had arranged countless blind dates for him, hoping to find a match, but he had never shown any interest in other women.He was so indifferent that even his grandmother had started to wonder if he might be gay.“I see.”Nina let out a quiet sigh.For some reason, the image from that day, so full of raw sexual tension, flashed through her mind again.That face. That body.And he had never even had a girlfriend? What a waste.Then again, it made sense. William had been incredibly popular back in school.He used to receive so many love letters they nearly covered his entire desk.Yet, despite all that, there had never been any rumors linking him to another woman.Except for that one misunderstanding with her.Just as Nina thought the conversation

    William insisted. “Just think of it as a little walk, all right?”“Okay.”Nina could no longer find a reason to refuse. She got up and followed William out of the parking garage, stopping in front of a dessert shop.She raised an eyebrow in surprise.She never would have guessed that the cool, aloof Mr. Lawson actually liked sweets.At this hour, the after-work rush had long passed. It was nearing dinner time, and the shop was close to closing. The place was nearly empty.They found a window seat. As they sat down, William said simply, “Wait here,” and turned to head to the counter.Not long after, he returned with a lemon bavarois in one hand and a strawberry “Christmas tree” tart in the other. He placed them in front of Nina.“Try it.”Nina blinked in surprise. “For me?”William gave a soft “Mm.” “Someone once told me that when you’re feeling down, eating something sweet can help lift your mood.”Nina was a little surprised.She never would have thought he knew tricks lik

    Seeing both signatures on the divorce agreement finally put Mr. Jackson Sr.’s mind somewhat at ease.He handed the document to Mr. White. “Go ahead and prepare everything. Once the final divorce papers come through, make sure Nina receives everything she is owed immediately.”“Yes, sir.”Mr. Jackson Sr. then called after Miles, who was about to leave. “Your brother and the rest of the family are coming home for dinner tonight. It’s been a while since we’ve had a proper family gathering.“You’ll stay. And while you’re here, take the chance to make some introductions. I don’t want anyone in this family pretending not to know each other later.”The remark was a clear jab at Yvonne.Only now did Mr. Jackson Sr. remember there was another matter left unsettled.“You used public sympathy to force your way into this family all those years ago,” he said coldly, advancing step by step with his cane, the chill in his gaze sharp enough to make anyone tremble. “And now, not only do you sh

    No one understood better than Mr. Jackson Sr. how Miles had clawed his way up from nothing to the position he held today.Now he wanted to see whether Miles would still make the same choice he had three years ago.Would he once again give up unimaginable wealth for Nina?Miles and his team had been working on the South City project for nearly a year. If they could close the deal and break into the overseas market, it would take Jackson Corporation to the next level and solidify Miles’s position as the company’s successor.Mr. Jackson Sr. did not care about matters of first wives or mistresses. He did not care whose child it was. All he knew was that both Miles and Eugene were his grandsons, the blood of his own son.He had always believed that the one with the most ability should win.Eugene was no slouch either, but every time he went head to head with Miles, luck seemed to tip the scales just slightly against him.In the end, Mr. Jackson Sr. would be comfortable leaving the co

    The moment Nina nodded, she could no longer hold back her tears. They poured down her cheeks like pearls, falling one by one and darkening the dusty ground beneath her feet.“It’s settled. We’ll file the papers at the courthouse on Monday,” she said, sniffling as she fought to keep her voice steady.“Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go.”She opened the car door and started to climb in, but his hand caught her wrist, gentle as if afraid of hurting her.Seeing her confused look, William explained softly, “Let me drive.”Through tear-blurred vision, Nina did not see the deep concern or the flash of cold anger that flickered in William’s eyes.In her current state, she was in no condition to drive. If anything were to happen, it would only make things worse.She nodded and moved aside. “Thank you.”Opening the passenger door, Nina slid into the seat. Head bowed, her whole body seemed weighed down. She did not even think to fasten her seatbelt.William noticed.With a quiet
