Semua Bab She Moved On and Glowed Up — Now Her Ex-Husband and Son Want Her Forgiveness: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The next day, Nora Yates arrived at the law firm for her scheduled consultation.She spent half the day drafting the divorce agreement: she would give up custody, ask for $3 million, and walk away with a clean break.Three million meant nothing to Travis Luther—it was pocket change.And for seven years of marriage? Nora wasn’t asking for much.She returned home with the signed agreement in hand. The front door was slightly ajar, and laughter spilled faintly from inside.“Aunt Lily, how did you do that? I want to learn too!”Quinton was curled up on Lily’s lap, eyes sparkling, face full of joy. “Aunt Lily, you’re amazing! You can even do magic tricks! Not like my mom—she can’t do anything!”Travis’s voice cut through the laughter, cool and clipped. “Nora is your mother. Don’t talk about her like that. Where are your manners?”Nora paused, her hand on the door.She had heard things like this from Quinton before. The first few times, it had hurt—a deep, aching kind of hurt.She’d

Travis stiffened for a moment.But when he met Nora’s utterly calm, emotionless eyes, a strange, simmering irritation rose in his chest.“So what?” he asked coldly. “You’re using this to threaten me now?”His voice was sharp, each word like a blade.“You’ve taken care of Quinton for six years, so you know him better than I do. He clings to you, and now you're asking for a divorce—what exactly are you trying to pull?”Nora was stunned for a split second… then couldn’t help laughing.Turns out, when someone reaches the point of absolute disbelief, they really do laugh. She couldn’t even stop the smile tugging at her lips.Talking to Travis any further was pointless, so she simply agreed,“You’re right.”His expression darkened.“If you’re really set on a divorce,” Travis said, his voice like ice, “then forget about getting custody of Quinton. And unless I say otherwise, you don’t get to see him again.”He thought that threat would make her back down.But instead, Nora replied fla

Lily’s expression darkened slightly at Nora’s taunting tone.What was she showing off for?“Nora, you did well in the competition this time, I won’t deny that. But let’s be honest—landing first place wasn’t just about your talent. The Luther family helped, and Travis was thinking of your future. Even if you don’t appreciate the gesture, there’s no need to say things that hurt your relationship.”Nora turned her gaze on her, cool and mocking.“You’re not even worth the effort it takes to argue. You lost. You don’t get to question my abilities. And as for your so-called kindness? No thanks.”Lily choked on her words, momentarily speechless.Travis’s face clouded with frustration. He hated this version of Nora—sharp, defiant.“Nora, this conversation is between you and me. Don’t take it out on others.”“Then why did you bring her?” Nora shot back.“Or you can’t spend a minute without her? If that’s the case, why haven’t you signed the divorce papers yet?”Lily cast a wounded look a

“I know I’m late,” Nora said as she walked in, her tone flat and her pace casual. “Truth is, I wasn’t planning to come at all. But there’s something I need to make clear to everyone here.”The relatives she used to flatter looked visibly uncomfortable. Their expressions turned sharp.“Nora, what is wrong with you? It’s your mother-in-law’s birthday and you show up late—and empty-handed? Is this how a daughter-in-law behaves?”Travis’s expression darkened. He said nothing at first, just stared at her coldly. Then came the reprimand.“I told you to prepare something for Mom. Why did you come without a gift?”Quinton had lit up the moment he saw Nora, but the warm look quickly vanished when everyone else began scolding her.He frowned, puffing up his cheeks. “Dad’s right. You’re just being lazy. You didn’t even try to get a gift. That’s really rude. Rude people should apologize!”Nora didn’t react to their accusations. She spoke slowly, even lazily, “Didn’t I just apologize when I

“I got accepted…?”Nora could hardly believe her ears and had to confirm it again.“Yes, Ms. Yates. Your design submission was outstanding. After several rounds of review, we’ve decided to award you the overseas study slot. You have three days to prepare your documents. Once ready, send them to our back-end email. We’ll notify you once the formalities are complete...”Afraid of messing something up, Nora asked them to send her a detailed checklist. Only when both the confirmation and the checklist arrived in her inbox did her heart finally settle.She had thought that with Travis’s interference, there was no way the opportunity would land in her hands so easily. Yet Horizon Corp still chose her.She held back her excitement, picked up the checklist, and began matching it with the documents she already had. That’s when she realized—her passport wasn’t in her ID pouch.After a moment of thought, she remembered that she and Travis had once planned a tropical vacation. She’d put both
