The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 197

Lately.

Nora had been coming home later and later.

They used to have a rule about being home by eight every night.

And they had both stuck to it perfectly.

But now, Nora was the one breaking curfew.

Maloney knew exactly why.

Before Jasmine gained her independence, her parents kept her on a tight leash and forbade her from staying out late.

To accommodate Jasmine, the girls usually met up around dinnertime.

By seven or eight, they were done eating and heading home.

But now Jasmine was free, answering to no one, and staying out as late as she pleased.

The only thing limiting them now was Cassidy's pregnancy.

But Cassidy was a free spirit; she called the shots in her own life, and a baby still baking in the oven wasn't enough to tie her down completely.

Which resulted in Nora's curfews getting pushed further and further back.

Once Cassidy actually had the baby, they would probably stay out even later.

Of course, Maloney had no intention of restricting Nora's social life.

The main issue was...

It was bad enough she was coming home in the middle of the night.

But the moment she walked through the door, her pretty little mouth wouldn't stop talking about another man.

"He was just standing right in the middle of the parking lot. And his eyes were just glued to me."

Nora hooked her index and middle fingers, pointing at her own eyes and then pointing at Maloney's, gesturing wildly as she spoke. "It was super creepy!"

"My car was parked further in. I needed to get to it. Honestly, I should have walked behind him, but my car was in the direction he was facing, so I walked right past him."

"And the second I walked by, he clutched his stomach and just dropped! He's a grown man! I barely managed to dodge him, I almost got shoved into the car next to me!"

"Do you think he did it on purpose? He didn't fall before, he didn't fall after—he waited for the exact second I walked past him."

"Are you guys in the middle of a corporate war or something? I bet he was trying to pull a scam on me!"

A corporate war?

As if Sebastian Sinclair was worthy of one.

Years ago, Maloney and Sebastian had started their businesses around the same time. Maloney skyrocketed to become a tech titan, while Sebastian racked up debt and ran home to inherit the family business.

A pathetic loser from the defeated bracket dared to wage war with him?
