Divorce and Freedom No More Homemaker for Him novel Chapter 887

Chapter 887 Moving Toward the Future

Edgar looked like a man who had been utterly crushed. It was as if every bit of spirit had been drained from him.

He was pathetic, through and through.

Nina pulled her gaze back and covered the little girl’s eyes.

“Mr. Bowman, I’m Nina Brogdon. This is your biological granddaughter.”

Nina was thin and delicate, with a soft temper, but her voice was low and steady when she said it.

She knew exactly what she wanted. There was no hesitation left.

Right now, she needed to appear in front of the Bowmans.

She needed them to know who she was.

James had told her ahead of time that he was coming to pick her up, so Halle wasn’t surprised when she saw

him.

The emotional upheaval had been too much. She still needed to process 1 car, she stayed quiet.

James kept checking on her. “Feeling any better?”

Halle’s emotions were still tangled. A few tears slipped out before she could stop

them.

James clicked his tongue. “Still crying over him?”

His tone was casual. Inside, the jealousy had gone sharp and sour.

If he had met Halle earlier, what chance would that idiot Edgar have ever had?

Halle ignored him.

She cried quietly for a while. Little by little, the weight seemed to leave with the tears.

Then, she started noticing the world again-the hum of the engine, the soft white noise beyond the window, James’s faint breathing beside her.

She looked around.

James’s car was spotless. A little alien figurine sat on the dashboard, and the cabin carried the fragrance he liked.

Chapter 887 Moving Toward the Future

The scent lingered in the air, clean and pleasant.

Sound, sight, smell-piece by piece, they pulled Halle back to the present. She knew where she was now. She was with James, heading to dinner.

The thought alone made her feel lighter. Happy, even. A happiness that came from somewhere real and easy inside her.

Being around Edgar always trapped her in the same spinning vortex.

Being with James felt like stepping toward the future.

Like hope had opened in front of her.

With Edgar, she could only drown in the past.

But with James?

Halle found herself looking forward to the days ahead.

It was vitality, rising straight from within her.

Even the energy around her felt as if it had shifted.

Everything was turning better and brighter.

Halle could say with absolute certainty now: she should have moved forward long ago.

The farther James drove, the farther she got from all that bad stuff.

The restaurant James had chosen for the night was almost here.

So, she said, “I want to go to the farther one.”

She wanted to put even more distance between herself and the past.

James had been waiting for her to work through it, waiting for her to hurry up and forget Edgar. The moment she spoke, he was ridiculously pleased. “Sure, I’ll drive a little longer.”

Once she started talking, more words followed.

Halle asked, “Do you find me annoying?”

James didn’t an

directly. “If I did, what would you do?”/

He was deliberately keeping the conversation going, trying to shift her attention elsewhere.

Halle said. “If you find me annoying, pull over. I’ll get out and call a cab. I don’t need you.”

James laughed. This was the confident Halle he liked. “Don’t worry. I don’t think you’re annoying. Especially not right now. If I mess this up, I won’t forgive myself.”

Halle glanced at him. “You’re choosing this moment to cheer me up on purpose, aren’t you?”
