The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 501

Chapter 501

Dominic had been staying at the hospital these past few days too. This was an important moment for Richie, and there was no way he was going to miss it.

He was eating breakfast with Chris when Gavin walked in from outside.

“Mr. Xander, Mrs…”

Gavin stopped himself.

“Ms. Scott is here to see you.”

Dominic looked stunned.

“Wait. Did I hear that right?”

Now that was a first. Winter had actually come to see Chris on her own?

Gavin ignored him and stepped slightly to the side.

Only then did Dominic see Winter standing at the door. She hadn’t come in.

“Ms. Sco…”

Before Gavin could finish, Chris had already stood up and walked toward the door.

“Why are you up so early?” Chris asked, stopping in front of her.

There were faint shadows under her eyes. Anyone could tell she hadn’t slept well.

She had only fallen asleep in the middle of the night, and now she was awake after barely six hours. How could that possibly count as enough rest?

Winter said calmly, “I came to watch Richie’s videos.”

Chris’s brows drew together slightly.

He had known she would come for Richie’s videos. But hearing her ask for them so directly, without even trying to pretend otherwise, still left a tight, uncomfortable feeling in his chest.

“I said I would show them to you after you slept for ten hours,” Chris said. He sounded firm, but in truth, he had no real way to refuse her.

Winter had clearly expected him to say that. Without hesitation, she said, “I can include my nap later.”

The darkness in Chris’s eyes softened.

Even while she was sick, she still knew how to bargain with him.

Dominic watched the two of them go back and forth, and a suspicious thought crossed his mind.

Had these two gotten close behind his back last night or something?

Why did the whole exchange sound so strangely intimate?

They didn’t sound like a divorced couple at all.

Then again, their marriage certificate had been fake, so technically, they weren’t divorced. They had only broken up.

But even then, this didn’t sound like two people who had broken up.

Chris handed his phone to Winter.
