The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 135

Nora: 'Just throw a piece of fruit at him too. Once he sees it's you, he won't bid against you.'

Cassidy: '...'

'I hate to break it to you, but I'm sitting too far away. I couldn't hit him if I tried.'

'I have to use opera glasses just to see him.'

'I'm still a small fry; I can't reach a titan like your husband.'

'Wait, where did you go?'

Nora: 'I already texted him.'

When the message came through, Cassidy was in the middle of observing Maloney through her opera glasses.

Without warning, Maloney turned his head. His sharp, predatory gaze filled the entirety of her magnified view.

Cassidy flinched so hard she nearly launched the glasses across the room.

Maloney gave her a brief, acknowledging nod.

Cassidy smiled back and nodded in return.

That scared the hell out of her.

Honestly, Cassidy had never really approved of Maloney.

The rumors about his childhood sweetheart were one thing.

The fact that he had once stressed Nora out so badly she ended up in the hospital was another.

But most importantly, he was simply too calculating and complex.

Wouldn't a sweet, naive girl like Nora just get chewed up and spit out by a man like him?

Yet, Nora loved him.

She was completely head over heels for him.

She had harbored a secret crush on him since her school days.

Nora was the first of their trio to tie the knot.

Though she was the youngest, she married early.

The circumstances back then were desperate. Cassidy had zero capital to her name and couldn't guarantee she could protect Nora from Bella Monroe and Vivian Cole.

Marrying Maloney had been Nora's safest bet.

At the very least, he was a functional, stable adult.

The worst-case scenario for their marriage was that Nora might suffer some heartbreak.

But her safety was guaranteed.

Lately, however, Cassidy had begun to suspect that Maloney's feelings for Nora ran much deeper.
