Semua Bab My Divorce Lawyer Has Always Loved Me: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Nina gave a soft “mm” in response, signaling she didn’t want to continue the conversation. Right or wrong, everything would come to light in time.Sensing her hesitation, William spoke up at just the right moment. “Do you want to head home? I can drive you both.”Nina quickly shook her head. “No, that’s okay.”She didn’t want to trouble him any more than she already had.“You still have things to take care of, right?” she added. “You can just drop us off at the next intersection. I have a few errands to run. I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”Nadia, ever perceptive, caught onto something. Her eyes flicked between Nina and William, picking up on the subtle tension.She suddenly spoke up. “Mr. Lawson, Nina and I are heading to the university medical center. Is that anywhere on your way?”Nina nudged her gently and whispered, “What are you doing?“We can just take a cab. You know how busy he is.”Nadia gave her a breezy reply. “I’m just asking. If it’s out of the way, no prob

“And another thing. He’s one of the top lawyers in the country. People wait months just to book an appointment with him. But because you’re his college junior, he flew all the way from Capital City just to help you?” Nadia clicked her tongue in disbelief. “Nina, be honest. How many juniors do you think he has? And how many lawyers are there at SX Law Firm?”Nina stayed calm and reminded her, “Don’t forget, I saved his life once. He told me he owed me a favor.”At that moment, Nadia could only think one thing. The person in the middle of it all was always the last to realize what was going on.She slapped the table with a grin and couldn’t hold back her excitement. “Exactly. You saved his life, and now he’s ready to devote himself to you. Nina, I’ve always had a feeling that William treats you differently from the way he treats other women. I just never thought much of it before.”She was clearly getting more excited by the second. “Honestly, I’d bet anything that William—”“Stop

Several people were already staring, and Nina had never liked being the center of attention.She replied calmly, “Whatever it is, it’s between me and him. It’s not your place to question me.”Not wanting to keep arguing in public, she slipped on her sunglasses and turned to leave.Sam frowned and suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her toward the exit.“Hey!” Nadia was stunned. She quickly followed. “What are you doing? Let her go!”Once they reached the emergency stairwell and the door was shut, Sam finally asked the question that had been weighing on him all this time.“Nina, just be honest with yourself. How has Miles really treated you?”Lately, Miles had been constantly venting to him, drinking more and more, saying he was miserable.And truthfully, Sam could understand where he was coming from. He was a man, after all. What man didn’t want a child of his own? Whether it was a boy or a girl, especially in families like theirs, lineage was everything.Forget the Jacksons f

Miles had never kept a copy of that photo, but every detail was etched into his memory.It had been a scorching summer day. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows as a light breeze rustled the branches. The whole scene looked as if a sheer veil had draped over her. Her clothes were soaked, and strands of hair clung messily to her forehead and cheeks. Her pale face was flushed, her lips close to another’s, like a goddess descending from the heavens to bless her devotee with a kiss.As for William, his appearance meant nothing. In Miles’s eyes, the man lying on the ground waiting for Nina to give him CPR might as well have been a corpse.And who cared what happened to a dead man?He told himself he didn’t care. He even praised Nina’s kindness out loud. But inside, jealousy was twisting through him like a storm. His thoughts turned darker and darker.She was his woman. What gave her the right to kiss someone else?Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter. He ca

The women giggled sweetly as they moved in closer, their hands growing bolder as they reached for Mr. White.“Don’t be shy, sir,” one of them purred.“We promise, the three of us will take good care of you.”“You’re blushing, aren’t you?” another teased, laughing.That was the last straw. Mr. White could no longer stay in the room. Practically fleeing, he left in a hurry.If he couldn’t stay inside to watch over Miles, then standing guard outside would have to do. At least then he could report back to Mr. Jackson Sr.When he relayed everything, Mr. Jackson Sr. remained silent for a long while. Finally, he let out a weary sigh.“As long as he doesn’t go too far, let him be,” he said. “It’s still better than watching him lose his mind over that girl from the Taylor family.”He paused, then added in a firmer tone, “Make sure everything is handled properly. I don’t want any photos or gossip leaking out.”“Yes, sir.”Back in the private suite, the door had barely closed when Mandy
