The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 142

The remaining earrings scattered across the hardwood floor.

Nora winced, practically feeling the phantom pain in her wallet.

She still remembered Cassidy Quinn mentioning that Maloney had dropped hundreds of millions of dollars at the auction.

Was this how he treated his multi-million dollar investments?

The next morning.

Nora woke up tangled in Maloney's embrace.

Between the lingering hangover and a night of relentless, passionate demands, she was utterly exhausted. Her head pounded, and every muscle ached.

Feeling the woman in his arms begin to stir.

Maloney gently stroked her hair. "Morning."

Nora let out a muffled hum of acknowledgment.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"I don't know."

Honestly, everything felt sore.

"Let me see." Maloney made a move to pull her fully into his lap.

Nora instantly changed her tune. "I'm perfectly fine."

She quickly deflected. "Where's my phone?"

Barely awake, not even two sentences in, and she was already looking for her screen.

It seemed like she was always glued to that damn device.

Despite his internal grumbling, Maloney rolled out of bed and fished her phone out of the purse abandoned on the floor.

The screen lit up with several unread messages.

Nora first fired off a quick text to Leona York to let her know she made it home safe.

Then, she tapped on her chat with Cassidy.

[Cass, he actually gave me all the jewelry. What do I do?]

Cassidy replied instantly: [What do you mean, what do you do?]

Nora: [I just don't understand why he suddenly showered me with diamonds.]

Cassidy: [???]
