Chapter 38

Penulis: Luna Starling
Nora’s expression hardened. “And who exactly do you think you are? What right do you have to judge me?”

Her defiance lit a spark of fury in Travis’s eyes. His voice dropped, cold and sharp. “Nora, you’re not the only one who regrets this marriage. But Quinton is innocent. Divorce or not, you’re still his mother. You should be thinking about what’s best for him.”

Nora’s gaze snapped to his, her eyes like ice.

“Travis, you’re a coward. If you regretted it so much, why didn’t you ask for the divorce yourself? Instead, you shoved it all onto me, made me the villain, and now you think you can stand here and lecture me? You’re pathetic.”

His face darkened until it was almost black with anger, his entire presence steeped in a chilling gloom.

“Nora,” his voice was low and rough, “watch yourself. Don’t test my patience.”

She gave a short, contemptuous laugh. “You’re the one who came here. If you’re not happy, then get out. No one’s stopping you.”

“You’re impossible!”

    Oliver bristled. “That’s outrageous! Nora, should we tell Mr. Luther about this?”Nora shook her head calmly. “No need. If we can’t even handle something this small, then even with Travis Luther backing us, bigger problems will only pile up.”Eric leaned forward. “The man’s attacks were aimed squarely at you, and he deliberately used Luther Corp’s name to pressure us. He’s not doing this by chance. I’d bet he’s the same designer who lost to you at the bid meeting.”Jodi pulled out her phone. “I was so mad earlier I snapped a picture of his badge. Here, take a look.”Nora and Eric checked it. Sure enough, it was him.“Leave it. Keep working. I’ll deal with him myself.”She picked up the signed draft Jodi had placed on the desk and walked out.Jodi and Oliver exchanged worried glances, but Eric’s quiet assurance kept them in their seats.…On the fifteenth floor, Nora rapped lightly on the door before stepping into the designer’s office.The others in the department, who had al

    Quinton puffed his way to the elevator lobby, but by the time he got there, the doors had already closed.“Mommy…”His little voice cracked, and then the sobs broke free.Travis’s brow furrowed hard. “What are you crying for? It’s not like your mother isn’t ever coming back.”The words hiccupped Quinton’s sobs into silence. He looked up, tears trembling in his lashes. “Really? Daddy, will Mommy come see me again?”For a moment, Travis said nothing. Nora’s cold words before she left replayed in his mind, darkening his eyes. At last he answered, low and firm. “She will.”Back in the ward, Travis politely but firmly asked Lily to leave. She dragged her feet, but had no choice.No sooner had she stepped out than her phone buzzed with a call from her mother.“You’re sure you heard right?” Lily asked in a hushed corner. “Stardust delivered their samples on time? Not a single delay?”“Of course I’m sure,”Anne snapped. “Your father just lost his temper over it—said Mr. Landon had bett

    Travis noticed Quinton’s reddened nose and the tears pooling in his eyes. Forgetting all about Lily, he immediately sat on the edge of the bed, his voice soft with concern. “What is it? Does it taste bad, or are you still not feeling well?”Lily had been waiting for Travis to step in on her behalf, but instead he ignored her completely and focused on Quinton.This wasn’t how it used to be!Quinton shook his head, rubbing at his eyes before finally looking up. To his disappointment, his mother hadn’t stayed close like his father. Instead, Nora was standing off by the window, deliberately keeping her distance.His lips trembled. His voice caught. “Daddy, I just… I just think Mom’s porridge tastes really good.”Nora kept her distance on purpose, wary of Quinton pulling one of his tricks to tug at her emotions. But at that unexpected praise, her brows lifted slightly. So, the little brat had learned a thing or two.“Why are you standing so far away?” Travis’s tone sharpened as he gla

    Nora stood by the car, tilting her head slightly toward the man inside. “I thought we agreed to meet at the hospital.”When they struck their deal earlier, Travis hadn’t said a word about coming to pick her up. Did he not realize showing up uninvited was crossing a line?Travis sat tall in the backseat, posture straight, one arm resting with effortless poise. His whole presence radiated privilege and control.“I just don’t want Quinton disappointed,” he said evenly.The meaning was clear: he didn’t trust her not to back out.Nora’s lips curved into a mocking smile. Seven years of marriage, and he had never spared her a single thought. Yet now he had the nerve to question her integrity?“Fine. Then I’ll trouble you this once, Mr. Luther.”Henry, listening from the front, felt his fragile hopes sink. Weren’t they supposed to be patching things up? Why did every word still crackle with gunpowder?…At the hospital, Quinton fidgeted with nerves the moment he heard his mother w

    Nora steadied her breath and turned back toward him. “If you weren’t joking just now, then I’ll accept your terms.”…In the lounge, Eric kept glancing at his watch, the glow of the dial casting a cold sheen across his face.Just as his patience was wearing thin, Nora finally returned.“Miss Yates,” he said, half-rising. He reached out, meaning to catch her arm and ask how it went—only to see Travis following close behind her into the room.Eric’s brow tightened.Travis caught the movement, his gaze cutting sharp as glass. “Does Stardust skip basic training for its employees? No sense of boundaries?”Eric met his look, voice cool. “Mr. Luther, isn’t that a little outside your jurisdiction?”A short, humorless laugh slipped from Travis. His dark eyes shifted, fixing on Nora instead. “What do you think, Miss Yates?”The tension in the air was thick enough to taste. Nora was surprised—Eric almost never lost his composure, yet here he was bristling as though he had an old score to

    Nora’s eyes narrowed, the calm on her face breaking into sharp defiance.“If I recall, Mr. Luther, not long ago you were the one looking to work with Stardust. Even without this project, we still have other options.”Travis rose from his chair and walked toward her, the cut of his tailored shirt emphasizing both his poise and his chill.“That was before. Once word spreads that you botched the sports festival, no one in Wellford will work with you.”Her hand tightened on the armrest, nails digging into the leather. She’d heard he was ruthless in business, but now she felt it firsthand.Steeling herself, she lifted her gaze to meet his. “Then let’s not waste time. What do you want in exchange for working with Stardust?”Travis’s expression was calm, confident, as if the game was already his.“I’ve two conditions.First, when the festival ends, you’ll follow my lead—no questions, no refusal—on a new project I assign you.Second, you’ll go to the hospital tonight and sit with Quin
