30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 541

Standing by the bed, her hand on her forehead, Leonora thought to herself, "Taylor said he bought that house under my name, so he probably didn't change the lock code."

As for him, he had so many properties he couldn't even count them all, and they were all in better neighborhoods than Southbay. He definitely wouldn't be there.

So, all she needed to do was go over now and get her wallet back.

With that thought, Leonora changed into her outdoor clothes, headed to the community entrance, and caught a taxi back to Southbay.

Ten minutes later, the taxi pulled up at Southbay. Leonora paid the fare with her phone and headed upstairs.

As she arrived at the door, a wave of nostalgia washed over her. It felt as if her time with Taylor had just happened yesterday, like they hadn't broken up at all.

Standing at the door, Leonora pressed her finger to the scanner. Soon, a voice announced, “Door unlocked.”

Taylor hadn't changed the lock code or deleted her fingerprint. He wouldn't do that.

She tiptoed inside. The place seemed both uninhabited and yet lived in.

After changing her shoes, Leonora was about to head to the master bedroom to fetch her wallet when she suddenly heard footsteps.

In the next second, she looked up towards the bedroom and saw Taylor, in pajamas, his hair a mess, and his eyes sleepy, emerging from the room.

Thinking it was Mrs. Chen coming to clean, Taylor was about to send her off when he saw Leonora standing there.

The sight of Leonora stunned Taylor. Then, he quickly came to his senses, his eyes widening in disbelief. “Leonora?”

Leonora couldn't feel more awkward.

She hadn't expected to see Taylor here.

If she had known he was here, she wouldn't have come, preferring to wait until Monday to get new IDs and bank cards.

Both were equally surprised, staring at each other.

With an awkward glance at Taylor, she explained, “I didn't know you would be here.”

Realizing she hadn't really explained, she added, “I forgot my ID and bank cards in the bedside drawer last time. I came to get them.”

Hearing this, Taylor stepped aside. “Hmm.”

Even though they had broken up, Taylor still visited Southbay whenever he could, especially on weekends. He was almost always there.

Because in the past, he and Leonora would spend weekends together there.

Seeing Taylor make way for her, Leonora attempted an awkward smile but eventually gave up. She simply walked past him to the bedroom.

Inside, she saw the bed Taylor had slept in, the covers still a mess.

The man's scent and his unique presence enveloped her, leaving Leonora with mixed feelings.

Staring at the bed they had shared, she walked over to the bedside drawer, bent down, and opened it. Sure enough, her wallet was there.

Opening it, she checked and found her ID and bank cards inside.

With that, she headed out.

Just as she reached the door, Taylor came in from outside.

Meeting at the door, Leonora told him, “I found my wallet. It was in the bedside drawer.”

“Hmm.” Taylor looked at her seriously, his gaze almost glued to her.

In fact, the first time Taylor came to Southbay after their breakup, he found Leonora's wallet in the bedside drawer, knowing her ID and bank cards were inside.

That's why he visited almost daily, feeling they would meet again.

These encounters were the only times Leonora wasn't guarded against him, the only times she didn't show hostility.

Their eyes met, and seeing the passion in Taylor's gaze, Leonora was about to say something when Taylor also spoke up.

Looking up at him, she wondered, after all this time, did he really think she was just throwing a tantrum?

For a moment, Leonora didn't know what to say.

She tried to pull away from Taylor's grip, but remembering how he had helped her family just a few days ago, she felt it would be rude to reject him outright.

She looked at him for a long moment before starting, "Taylor, I..."

Before she could finish, Taylor pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"...," With that hug, the rest of Leonora's words were swallowed down.

With his face pressed against her, Taylor spoke with a touch of melancholy, "I don't know what you're thinking, but lately, I've been unable to eat or sleep well. I find myself thinking of you all the time."

His words weren't entirely untrue.

He had indeed thought about her a lot.

As Taylor expressed his feelings, Leonora's hands, which were prepared to push him away, hung suspended in mid-air.

She let him hold her, trying to speak several times but ultimately holding back.

Seeing her reaction, Taylor kissed her ear and cheek, saying, "Leonora, I miss you so much."

Leonora stayed silent.

Seeing that she didn't push him away, Taylor began to kiss her.

He kissed her ear, her cheek, her forehead, and then her lips.

Leonora's breath hitched, her mind went blank. She never expected that coming to get her ID would lead to this.

As Taylor kissed her forcefully, Leonora instinctively placed her hands against his chest.
