No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Just a Show

But Alfred never expected Nella to go this far for a lover.

For that guy outside, she turned me down so hard?

“You like him that much?” Alfred asked, his eyes burning red.

“Yeah.”

Nella nodded without hesitation.

“Mr. Keywood, I didn’t let him interfere with you. You don’t have the right to demand that I give him up.”

Since things had reached this point, Nella decided to be completely clear.

“When we signed the contract, it was clearly stated that we wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private lives. So keeping a puppy is my private matter. I hope you respect that.”

Alfred listened quietly as she finished.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto her firm, decisive expression, as if he wanted to burn holes straight through her.

Truthfully, Nella felt a bit confused inside.

Alfred doesn’t look angry. He actually looks … hurt.

What is he hurting over?

Because I chose a dog instead of him?

When that ridiculous thought crossed her mind, even Nella found it amusing.

Alfred and I don’t love each other anyway. Why would he be hurt because I chose a dog over him?

Whatever was going on in Alfred’s head lately, she didn’t want to waste time worrying about it.

“Since

you already know I’m keeping a puppy outside, I’ll just be straightforward.”

Nella got right to the point.

Hearing her tone, Alfred seemed to guess what she was about to say. His heart sank abruptly.

“For the remaining two months, I won’t go back to Emerald Vista Bay. But during that time,

anything you need me to do as Mrs. Keywood, I’ll cooperate.”

Her words dragged Alfred’s face into complete darkness.

His clenched fists made his knuckles turn faintly white.

“You’re planning to separate from me right now?”

His voice trembled even harder. There was even a faint shimmer of moisture in his eyes.

Nella nodded.

“I don’t agree!”

Alfred barked harshly. “Nella, I don’t agree!”

His voice rose uncontrollably. “As long as we’re not divorced, don’t even think about separating from me.”

“You’re afraid that if people find out we’re separated, it’ll affect Keywood Group’s stock price?”

Nella had heard of things like that.

In a major corporation, the boss’s marriage could affect the company’s reputation.

In serious cases, tens of billions could vanish overnight.

But those situations weren’t the same as hers and Alfred’s.

She felt that kind of impact usually involved couples who were major shareholders. Once they divorced, it meant splitting shares and changing leadership.

That would naturally affect operations.

But she didn’t own a single share of Keywood. What impact could she possibly have?

Besides…

“Only a handful of people even know we’re married. I don’t think the impact would be that big. Don’t worry.”

Compared to Alfred’s intense reaction, Nella was calm and rational.

But the more composed and analytical she was about their marriage, the deeper Alfred’s heart sank.

“Nella, answer me. From the very beginning, when you agreed to marry me, was it just for
