He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 956

He meticulously arranged her silverware before offering a lethally arrogant smirk. "Money talks."

She honestly couldn't argue with that.

In his world, any problem that could be crushed with a checkbook wasn't a problem at all.

"I thought you were bankrupt?" she challenged, arching an eyebrow.

That actually earned a low, genuinely amused chuckle from him.

He looked at her, a distinctly predatory amusement dancing in his dark eyes.

She refused to look away, holding his gaze fiercely.

But under the sheer weight of his undivided attention, her pulse began to race traitorously.

"Relax. Even if I lost everything tomorrow, I could still easily afford to keep you," he drawled smoothly.

She instantly shut her mouth.

She should have known better. There was zero chance a monster like him had all his assets tied up solely in The Hayes Corporation.

A paranoid, calculating bastard like him definitely had billions stashed in untouchable offshore accounts, ready for a rainy day.

Seeing that he had thoroughly silenced her, he didn't press his advantage.

Minutes later, a small army of waiters flooded the room, rapidly plating the massive feast.

After days of horrific hospital mush, she practically inhaled the food.

She ate with an incredibly aggressive appetite.

He barely touched his own plate.

She knew he absolutely despised this kind of greasy, heavily spiced food.

Yet, he still forced himself to eat a few bites just to keep her company.

During their five-year marriage, a scene like this would have been entirely unthinkable.

She had spent years forcing herself to eat the bland, tasteless garbage he preferred just to appease him.

But tonight, she finally got exactly what she wanted, leaving her utterly satisfied.

"Have you had enough?" he asked, noting her empty plate.

She let out a soft hum of absolute contentment.

Without missing a beat, he grabbed a warm towel and gently wiped a stray drop of sauce from the corner of her mouth.

She didn't violently slap his hand away, but she certainly didn't lean into the intimate touch either.

His dark eyes locked onto her face, analyzing her entirely neutral reaction.
