No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Could There Be Another Reason?

“Nella, are you worried about me?”

Nella didn’t deny it.

Wesley let out a soft sigh and suddenly asked, “Is he okay?”

Nella blinked, then understood who he meant.

“He’s out of danger. If you’re worried about Regis, you can check on him at Everwell.”

Wesley shook his head. “I won’t.”

Nella said nothing, offering no advice.

Then, Wesley looked at her and asked.

“Do you think I’m too cold-hearted?”

Finished

Nella was taken aback, then shook her head. “I don’t know what’s between you and Regis. I won’t judge.”

Wesley smiled and asked casually, “Have you always been this rational?”

“Huh?”

Nella blinked, then laughed softly. “Most of the time, I guess.”

She had been rational her whole life, never imagining she’d cling so stubbornly to Alfred.

And she had fallen hard.

Now, the thought of romance felt dull, it was impossible to summon enthusiasm.

Seeing her silent, Wesley instinctively thought of Alfred

His eyes darkened slightly.

His gaze drifted to the distance, empty, as he spoke to himself.

“When my mom and dad were together, Dad was just a punk. My grandfather, Regis, forced my mom to break up with him. She refused, so the family had someone attack him. Dad was beaten to death and dumped at sea.”

Wesley laughed casually, as if recounting a story about someone else.

“When they pulled him up, his face was swollen beyond recognition. Without a blood sample from the hospital, no one would’ve known who he was.

“When my mom found out, she argued fiercely with Grandpa. In a fit of anger, he kicked her out of the family.

“She was only 20 at the time. Soon after leaving, she found out she was pregnant with me.”

Wesley spoke in fragments. Nella didn’t interrupt.

Chapter 364 Could There Be Another Reason?

It was clear he had carried this in his heart for years, desperate for someone to listen.

From Wesley, Nella learned about his early life.

Finished

After Tolina became pregnant, she traveled alone to Nordmere, working in various countries to raise him.

Even in the hardest times, she never sought help from the Keywoods.

Only after marrying his stepfather did her life become easier.

“Now you know why I hate the Keywoods so much, right?”

Nella nodded. She didn’t comment or try to convince him to let go of his resentment.

But she still had doubts.

Though she had been involved with the Keywoods for only three years, it was enough to understand them.

Neither Regis nor her ex-father-in-law was truly cruel.

Even if tempers flared, they wouldn’t completely ignore Wesley’s mother.

Could there be another reason behind all this?

Though it felt like defending Regis, Nella thought of the frail old man in the hospital bed, thought it through, and finally spoke.
