Semua Bab She Moved On and Glowed Up — Now Her Ex-Husband and Son Want Her Forgiveness: Bab 231 - Bab 240

Eric scrolled through the endless stream of trending posts, the headlines exploding across every platform. His chest tightened with mixed emotions—part relief for Nora, part worry about what this sudden storm might bring her.He picked up his phone and dialed her number.On the other end, Nora’s voice came through, tired yet steady. “Hello, Eric. What is it?”Eric frowned slightly, his tone full of concern. “Nora, did you see the latest trending topic? The one about divorced women pursuing happiness? It’s blowing up fast. I’m worried this is only going to put more pressure on you.”There was a pause. Then she let out a faint laugh, calm but resolute. “I know. But this is what I wanted. I want people to see that divorce doesn’t strip a woman of her right to happiness. We shouldn’t be chained down by society’s judgment.”Eric sighed. “I understand. I just want you to protect yourself. Not everyone will agree, and some people might even attack you for it.”Her voice hardened with de

Nora nodded and followed Eric toward the waiting car. As they drove through the bustling city, she gazed out the window at the neon skyline and glass towers, her heart stirring with anticipation for the partnership ahead.When they arrived at the hotel, the grandeur was striking. Crystal chandeliers glowed above the marble floor, filling the lobby with warm, golden light. Eric stepped up to the front desk to check them in while Nora waited at his side.“Book me a separate room,” she said quietly.Eric paused, then leaned closer so only she could hear. “Given the circumstances, that’s not a good idea. The press already thinks we’re a couple. If word gets out that we’re staying in different rooms, it’ll raise questions. That could jeopardize both the deal and your reputation.”Nora hesitated. The thought of sharing a room unsettled her, yet she couldn’t deny the logic in what he was saying.“But… doesn’t this seem inappropriate?” she pressed.“I get your concerns,” Eric said patien

Eric’s mother chuckled on the other end of the line. “That’s good. You know I worry about you. This deal is important, but don’t forget to take care of Nora too.”Her tone softened, teasing. “I’ve seen the news about you two. If you really like her, don’t let the chance slip away.”Heat crept up Eric’s neck. He darted a glance at Nora, then muttered into the phone, “Mom, I know. We’ve got things to handle right now. We’ll talk later.”But she wasn’t letting him off that easily. “Don’t brush me off, son. I can tell how you feel about her. Girls like Nora don’t come along often. You’re traveling together—use the time wisely.”Eric’s face flushed deeper. Unsure if Nora had caught his mother’s words, he ended the call quickly before she could press further.When he set the phone down, Nora was watching him, curiosity in her eyes. “That was Auntie?”“Yeah.” He nodded. “She just wanted to make sure we got here safely… and said a few other things.”Nora’s lips curved into a faint smile

Nora didn’t spare Travis a kind look.The next second, she turned to leave.Eric automatically moved to follow, but with Travis there, it was impossible for him to let her just walk away.Travis’s hand shot out and clamped around her wrist, his gaze heavy and suffocating.“Nora, I’m trying to have a calm conversation with you, so don’t push me.”“What do you mean she’s pushing you?” Eric snapped, stepping forward. He grabbed for Nora, trying to pull her free, to shield her.But Travis’s grip was iron. He didn’t let go.Caught between them, Nora felt the painful tug—pulled one way, then the other—as if they’d tear her apart.Frustration boiled over. She let out a sharp cry. “Travis, let go! Do you really want me to cut ties with you right here, right now?”Travis said nothing.The woman standing before him was nothing like the Nora he once knew—the one who had been gentle, compliant. Now she was cold, distant. She could smile at anyone else, but never at him. With him, there w

At first, Travis tried to brush it off as “just a family dispute.”But after Nora’s words, it was clear this was no longer a private matter.“If you’re divorced, can you show us proof?” one of the officers asked.Travis’s face went dark. He never expected Nora to calmly reach into her bag and pull out their divorce certificate.His eyes burned into her. “You carry that around with you?”“How else am I supposed to prove you and I are nothing anymore?” she shot back. “When there was a marriage license, maybe this counted as a family dispute. Now there isn’t. Doesn’t that mean you can be held accountable?”“I’m trying to work. He shows up to harass me. We have no ties anymore. Do I not have the right to defend myself?”She looked only at the officers, not once at Travis.He hadn’t thought she could be this cold. That she could so completely erase him, so determined to draw a line he couldn’t cross.“Nora, do you have to take it this far?” His voice was rough, his expression a twi
