Chapter 192 He Finally Realized
Larissa froze, clearly not expecting that kind of reaction from Nella.
Before, whenever she mocked her like this, Nella would always look embarrassed and hurt.
Even so, she still came every time, either to have dinner with Regis or to play chess with him.
She really knew how to win Regis over.
Larissa stared at Nella blankly for a moment, at a loss for words.

“Aunt Larissa, you should worry about Uncle Tyler’s livelihood first. My business with Nella is none of your
concern.”
Alfred’s cold voice came from behind them, carrying obvious displeasure.
It startled Larissa.
“Alfred, you’re back too?” Larissa asked instinctively.
It wasn’t strange for her to be surprised. Family dinners at Keywood Estate weren’t a rare thing.
But Alfred almost never showed up for them.
Especially when it came to appearing together with Nella.
Earlier, seeing Nella arrive alone, Larissa had naturally assumed this time was no different. That Nella had come alone again to curry favor with Regis.
“Can’t I come back?”
Alfred looked at her and shot back.
He’d already been full of anger on the way here, and the moment he parked and walked over, he heard. Larissa urging Nella to divorce him.
Worse, that damn Nella was actually smiling and agreeing with Larissa.
Perfect. A target for his fury.
“Aunt Larissa, you come to Keywood Estate so enthusiastically every time. Did Uncle Tyler fail to sell a few paintings again and come here looking for handouts?”
Alfred’s voice carried a sharp chill.
Larissa heard it loud and clear. Her nephew was taking his anger out on her.
Who ticked him off?
Even though Larissa was displeased at being mocked like this by a junior, she didn’t dare put on airs in front
of Alfred.

“What do you mean? This is my home too. Can’t I come back and have a meal with my own father?”
Larissa smiled at Alfred. “As for you, so many family dinners before, your wife always came back alone. Now you suddenly show up today. Of course, I’d find that strange and ask a question or two.”
Her sarcasm made Alfred’s expression change abruptly.
He instinctively looked at Nella’s face, but she still wore that detached, indifferent look he’d grown used to seeing these past few days.
There was no trace of resentment at all.
Only then did Alfred remember.
Every family gathering, Zoey would call him away for one reason or another.
He never thought much of it, assuming leaving Nella alone at Keywood Estate wouldn’t cause any real
trouble.
But now, hearing Larissa spell it out so pointedly, Alfred finally realized how humiliating it must have been for Nella to be left alone at Keywood Estate because of Zoey.
The agreement clearly stated that they were to maintain each other’s image in public.
But in reality, only Nella had honored it.
He had only ever done what was comfortable for himself, never considering how Nella might feel.
No wonder … no wonder, after I left Nella alone in Norway for two weeks without a second thought, she suddenly seemed like a different person.
Maybe Nella didn’t change overnight. Everything simply piled up, little by little.
