Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 137

The grand hall was already filled with guests.

Many of Clayborne City's most prominent business figures were in attendance. Due to their professional roles, Maggie and Wendy were immediately surrounded by colleagues and business contacts upon entering.

Janina was separated from them almost as soon as they arrived. She decided to wait for Melody, grabbing a glass of fruit juice from a passing waiter.

But she didn't drink it. Instead, she found a relatively quiet spot and sat down.

She wasn't fond of such noisy environments. Perhaps it was the pregnancy, but her hearing felt unusually sharp, and she worried the loud noise might affect the babies.

After finishing his pleasantries, Nolan spotted Janina and walked over.

"Nina, where are your friends? Why are you all by yourself?"

Janina looked up at the sound of his voice and saw Nolan standing before her. "They're talking with some friends. They'll be over in a bit. I'm just resting here."

She glanced behind him but didn't see his girlfriend. "Brother Nolan, where's your girlfriend?"

"She's chatting with her friends."

Nolan was dressed in a well-tailored, dark blue suit, his hair impeccably styled, and his leather shoes polished to a mirror shine. His already handsome features were enhanced by his deliberate grooming, making him look exceptionally dashing tonight.

Janina couldn't help but feel curious about him and Jacqueline.

Since she had nothing else to do, she might as well listen to her brother's love story.

Janina moved closer to him. "Brother Nolan, how did you two meet? How long have you been dating? You've kept it a secret so well. Don't you plan on bringing her home to meet Mom and Dad?"

Nolan rubbed his nose, the kind of gesture that hints at a difficult secret being held back..

He saw Janina staring at him, waiting for an answer. He felt like his little secret was about to be exposed.

He avoided her probing gaze, coughed lightly into his fist, and mumbled, "Well, we've been together for five years..."
