Semua Bab After Rebirth, I Married His Billionaire Uncle : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Nora didn’t know, and didn’t care to know, what the connection was between Lawson Ford and Ryan Ford. She just forwarded the contact card and Nathaniel’s message to Sophie and let her handle the logistics, mainly, getting measurements over for the groomsman’s suit.Thinking about it more, the man Nathaniel had recommended was probably the Ford family’s only heir. There was no way a family that prominent would let their golden boy work as someone’s personal assistant.Probably just a coincidence of names. She was overthinking it.With nothing left on her list, Nora realized she had an entire afternoon free.The original plan had been jewelry in the morning, courthouse in the afternoon. Nathaniel had blown through that timeline before lunch, so she headed to the office instead to check in on Godbreaker with Sophie.Sophie was juggling bridesmaid duties on top of running the project solo, the least Nora could do was take some of that weight back.When she reached the Technology floor, th

“I could’ve handled that myself, you know.”Once Richard was gone, Nora spoke while texting Mia to confirm they were still on schedule.She didn’t love leaning on her new status as “Aunt Nora” it always felt a little like throwing weight around unfairly.“We’re married. Besides, if something’s easily fixed, why not fix it?”Nathaniel said it like he genuinely believed helping people was just a normal Tuesday for him.“Mr. Whitfield, Ms. Sinclair, I’m here! I’m your photographer, you can call me Wesley!”The man had a buzzcut, oversized athletic gear, and a camera slung over one shoulder, voice bright and easy.“Go ahead and follow whatever Wesley says for the shoot,” Mia said, smiling. “Once you’re done, I’ll walk you back to the front desk, the photos should be edited by then.”“Thank you. Sorry about the mix-up earlier, that was all on me. You’ve all been great, I’ll make sure everyone gets a little something extra for the trouble.”Richard and Vivian had already been here, wasted t

“So, you got all that?”After a long, whispered lecture, Nora leaned back, satisfied, and caught Sophie as she slumped.“…Sophie?”Nora’s forehead creased with dark lines when she realized Sophie had simply passed out mid-sentence.No way to know how much had actually landed, and definitely no waking her up now. Nora grabbed her phone and scanned the QR code taped to the table.Within minutes, the bar manager arrived with two staff members in tow.“Ms. Sinclair, we’ve got it from here, there’s already a room upstairs, here’s the key card!”The two staffers flanked Sophie and helped walk her up while the manager led the way. Once Sophie was settled, Nora realized her stomach was completely empty, she hadn’t eaten all evening.“Is there anywhere to grab food nearby?”Not much on the menu at a lounge like this, presumably.“Actually” the manager started, then paused. “Ms. Sinclair, maybe check your phone first?”“Hm?”She opened her messages. Nathaniel, at the top.He was asking if she n

Even though Richard had been cooperating with the wedding planning, Nora still cancelled the rehearsal dinner, one of the very few things she’d trimmed from the schedule.On a bright, cloudless morning, already in full makeup, Nora waited in her room to be collected.They’d kept the traditional structure, but relocated everything usually done at the groom’s house over to the Crystal Palace instead. In the morning, the bride waits at home; after the tea ceremony and goodbyes to her parents, the couple heads to the venue together. There, in front of both families and every guest, they’d exchange vows and marry properly. Afterward, they’d change into casual clothes and greet everyone at the reception. She and Nathaniel had already agreed, no separate “waiting alone in the bridal suite” portion. They’d go through the whole day side by side.She’d memorized every step of this by heart, had even lived through it once already, with Richard. And still, sitting there now, her nerves wouldn’t s

The sprained ankle excuse hadn’t worked with the Secretary and his crowd, but it did just fine for everyone else.Nora’s wedding wrapped up quickly after that. With no obligation to attend Richard’s wedding the next day, and nothing left on her post-event checklist, she got a rare full day to rest at home.Home, of course, now meant the place she shared with Nathaniel.She’d planned to spend the whole day scrolling her phone in bed, until Sophie called that afternoon.Nora assumed something had gone wrong with Godbreaker. Instead, the second she picked up, she got a wall of laughter.“Ha! Nora, have you seen the news? Any of the clips going around?”“What? What clips?”“Richard’s wedding! You knew it was today, right?”“I knew. Doesn’t mean I was watching.”She’d cut Richard out of her life a while ago. Didn’t care who he married, when, or how the day went.Logically, Sophie should’ve felt the same way, she wasn’t the type to bring up something like this just to poke at an old wound.
