From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 

Just as Debra hesitated, the door to the lounge swung open abruptly. 

Joe stepped in, balancing a silver platter with several slices of cheesecake arranged elegantly on top. 

Debra, with the phone still pressed to her ear, hurriedly wrapped up her conversation. “I have some matters to attend to here. Let’s reconnect tonight.” 

“Understood, Ms. Frazier.” 

The call ended. 

Joe approached the table and placed the platter in front of Debra. “Mr. Nichols asked me to bring you this, saying it’s your favorite.” 

Debra cast a glance at the cheesecake. She used to love it. She wondered how Juan knew. He had never shown much interest in her preferences before. 

“Thank you, Jos 

I’ll rest here for a bit. Please let me know when he is done.” 

“Of course, madam.” 

Joe exited the room. 

Debra stared at the cheesecake, her mind whirring. 

“What game is Juan playing? she thought. 

She didn’t believe he was helpless against the McKinney Group, and his actions today were uncharacteristically strange.

“I used to enjoy them, but they don’t appeal to me anymore,” Debra replied, her voice flat. 

Juan dropped his eyes, looking disappointed. “I see. Well, from now on, I intend to remember what you do like.” 

“About the 20% of Nichols Group shares you mentioned, were you serious?” she asked. 

She didn’t think he was bluffing, not after he had brought it up so publicly. 

Juan took a document handed over by Joe and placed it in front of her. 

“This is the share transfer contract. It’s been verified by Legal. All it needs is your signature.” 

Debra picked up the document, her eyes scanning the clauses. It was free from loopholes or errors. 

She frowned, looking up at him. “Why are you giving me these shares?” 

“Because it’s the only thing I can offer to start regaining your trust,” he replied. 

Joe sensibly exited the room, and Juan continued, “I’ve been thinking these days about how to let you

give me a chance to prove myself. Then I realized I have nothing else to offer besides this.”
