No Escape from Love novel Chapter 219

Nicole watched Felicia and Shirley retreating figures and let out a long sigh.

She went upstairs to find Robert, wanting to explain what had happened. But she didn't know how to begin when she opened her mouth.

"Today… Felicia came over to cause trouble, saying that she wanted to—" Nicole hesitated, struggling to find the right words.

Robert's expression darkened, and he cut her off coldly, "I know. You can handle it yourself."

"I already severed ties with the Ashford family back then," Nicole murmured, lowering her head.

His expression grew even more unpleasant. He recalled how Nicole had come to work as a maid in his home. She brought along a child with him. Later, she climbed into his bed and married him. A wave of irritation washed over him.

"From now on, don't bring this kind of mess into our home." With that, he turned and left the room.

Nicole stood there, uncertain how to react.

When Elena woke up, the pounding headache from her hangover felt like it would split her skull open. She groaned, clutching her waist as she sat up.

She scanned the room. It was a luxurious hotel suite, and it was empty except for the messy sheets and the lingering smell of last night's indulgence.

Wayne had long since slipped away.

She let out a self-deprecating chuckle, then reached for the clothes scattered across the floor, putting them on piece by piece.

When she stepped out of the hotel, the sunlight stung her eyes. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

There was something more important she needed to do.
