I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1099

Chapter 1099: Nowhere to Go

In the following days, Sandy and Brandon's wedding photoshoot continued as scheduled. Over the course of three or four days, Sandy didn't run into Nelson at the photography studio. Although Jim appeared unchanged from before, Sandy noticed that he seemed a bit off during his breaks. However, as soon as the photoshoot started, Jim returned to his usual self.

Perhaps because of their friendly conversations, Sandy couldn't help but think about Nelson.

After some hesitation, Sandy finally approached Jim one afternoon during a break while Brandon was in the restroom. She handed him a bottle of water, "Why hasn't Nelson been in touch for the past couple of days?"

Jim glanced at Sandy and took the water from her, "Thanks."

After expressing his gratitude, Jim replied, "He has some matters to attend to."

Sandy could tell that Jim wasn't eager to discuss the issue, so she didn't press further.

Despite the rush order for the photos, Jim had offered a discount on the price. After the shoot, Sandy and Brandon treated Jim to a meal. Sandy was exhausted after the two days of shooting and went straight to bed after a shower and removing her makeup. She fell asleep even before Brandon came out of the bathroom.

The next morning, she woke up close to noon. "Brandon?" Sandy called out as she opened her eyes, only to find Maya entering the room instead of her husband.

"Awake?" Maya greeted as she entered, "Brandon and your brother went out for something. The engagement ceremony is coming up soon, and there are many things to arrange."

Sandy nodded in acknowledgment.

"By the way, freshen up. Nelson is downstairs; he said he needs to talk to you about something."

Upon hearing Maya's words, Sandy blinked in surprise before nodding, "Okay, I'll get up."

"Take your time, no rush."

"Alright."

Sandy quickly headed to the bathroom, where she freshened up and changed her clothes. She then followed Maya downstairs.

Nelson was sitting on the couch, engaged in conversation with Aunt Bruton. Whatever Nelson said made Aunt Bruton laugh heartily.

Upon hearing footsteps, Aunt Bruton turned to Sandy, "Awake?"

Sandy nodded, "Hello, Aunt."

"Grab a bite to eat. Your sister-in-law saved you some food," Aunt Bruton said softly.

Sandy agreed with a nod, then glanced at Nelson before heading to the dining area. "I'll grab something to eat, Nelson. We can chat later."

"No rush, take your time," Nelson replied.

Sandy ate a bit with Maya before joining Nelson, and the two of them left the house together. Once outside the Hawkins family residence, Sandy turned to Nelson, "Are you... okay?"

Nelson smiled, "What could be wrong?"

Sandy continued to watch him, remaining silent.

Nelson chuckled, "Brandon was right."

"About what?"

"Brandon said you're the most attentive person."

Sandy chuckled, "So, did you talk to your family?"

Nelson nodded, "Jim already knows. It wouldn't be fair to keep it from him."

"But your positions are different. At least there's one supporter in the Bart family. On your side..."

Sandy didn't finish her sentence, but her implication was clear.

"Got a beating and knelt for two days," Nelson said with a grin.

Sandy looked at him, concerned. "Shouldn't you find a place to sit down?"

Nelson laughed, "I'm fine. I've rested, and I've been to the hospital."

"So you've been at home these past few days?"

Nelson nodded.
