The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 181

Of course.

None of that really mattered.

The main problem was that she had stopped keeping score.

Back at the auction, Maloney had graciously yielded a jewelry set to Cassidy.

Yet Nora hadn't even offered him a word of thanks.

She treated it like a trivial matter, brushing it off as though it wasn't worth mentioning.

She hadn't brought it up once since.

Granted, it wasn't a huge deal.

But in the past, she would have meticulously noted the favor.

Maloney assumed she had just been too busy and simply forgot.

He even casually flashed the jewelry he won at the auction in front of her every now and then.

Instead, Nora scolded him, telling him to stop messing with her multi-million dollar pieces.

She had actually accepted his expensive gift without a shred of guilt.

She would never have done that before.

In the past, she put a strict mental price tag on everything, terrified that accepting too much would lead to financial disputes.

She really had changed.

He just didn't know exactly when this shift had happened.

He vaguely remembered that when he first gave her the jewelry, she had still been completely overwhelmed and panicky.

Why the sudden change?

When Maloney took the initiative to help Jasmine,

it was partially a test to gauge Nora's reaction.

She had willingly accepted his help.

She didn't lower herself or try to desperately repay the favor afterward.

Did this mean she was finally starting to truly accept him?

Not just as a forced compromise of their marriage,

but actually wanting to spend the rest of her life with him.

It was highly likely.

For the rest of the meeting, Maloney found it impossible to focus.

He gave Mr. Hudson a few quick instructions and left early to head back to his office.

*Click.*

He pushed the office door open, unable to wait another second.

The sudden noise made Nora jump.
