Chapter: 110

"I couldn't care less whether you're aware, but pass this message to Madeline. If she crosses the line again, she'll have me to answer to!"

“And regarding our divorce, if you choose to stay quiet, that's your choice. I'll see you in court!"

Norah was messaging as she walked, and upon entering the Living room, she had already sent out three messages.

She tossed her phone onto the sofa and pulled her hair back with a band.

Feeling down, Norah craved something tasty to eat. She opened the refrigerator to take stock. Inside were plenty of ingredients she had picked up recently, sparking thoughts on what she could cook.

Norah was too engrossed in the kitchen to notice her phone light up with notifications on the sofa.

Derek, frowning deeply, gripped his phone. Despite Norah's recent barrage of messages, she vanished after his reply. No matter how many messages he sent, she didn't respond.

As he typed, his frustration mounted, infusing his messages with a torrent of emotion.

“Derek, Kathy's already left. What's the situation with Miss Wilson?"

Madeline, dressed in a delicate white lace dress, approached Derek with elegance, glanced at his phone, and noticed the unreturned messages from Norah.

Madeline was baffled. Norah was known for her relentless messaging.

What made her go silent this time?

"She bombarded me with bizarre messages and then silence after my response. I think Norah is playing games," Derek said, unable to mask his irritation. "She even dragged your name into this, warning against crossing her path again. As if she has any right!"

Madeline's heart missed a beat as she tentatively asked, “Does Miss Wilson still harbor resentment toward me? Whenever I see Miss Wilson, she's openly hostile and always has a terrible attitude toward me. It's one thing to be used to her disdain, but now she's trying to tarnish my image with you, Derek..."

Derek brushed aside his doubts, comforting Madeline, “Norah tends to get jealous and start arguments. But she's no match for you. Madeline, I see you for who you are, and no gossip can sway my affection for you. My heart belongs only to you."

He softly stroked Madeline's back, adding, “Our relationship is built on trust. Let's not let unfounded issues weaken it."

Madeline shifted the conversation, casting her gaze downwards.

“Finalizing the divorce with Miss Wilson sooner rather than Later would be wise. My parents are asking about when our two families can meet. They'll be upset if they learn you haven't completed the formalities yet."

“I promise to handle it as quickly as I can. Just give me a little time." Derek embraced Madeline closer as though she was his entire universe. Madeline was his cherished one.

Eating alone, Norah prepared two dishes and a soup and finally checked her messages.

Derek's messages read, “What's going on? Can we get together to talk over the divorce details?"

"Hey! Where have you gone? Weren't you just here? Are you ignoring me?"

"Fine! Norah, you've outdone yourself! Reply to me!"

Reading Derek's messages, Norah couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. At last, Derek was experiencing the sting of being ignored in a message exchange!
