The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 326

"I went to the firm," Maloney replied.

Nora instantly fired back, "Aren't you on vacation? Was there an emergency?"

"No emergency." Maloney parted his lips, his tone incredibly casual. "I went to meet someone."

Following the natural rhythm of the conversation, Nora predictably asked, "Who?"

"A friend of yours," Maloney said smoothly.

Nora immediately wanted to argue.

Seraphina Sinclair was absolutely not her friend!

She bit her tongue just in time, swallowing her retort. Instead, she asked, "Which friend?"

He had been answering directly up until now, but at this specific question, Maloney started talking in circles.

Out of nowhere, he changed the subject. "Do you remember what year Alistair Sinclair died?"

Of course Nora remembered.

Her parents had arranged a childhood betrothal between her and Sebastian when she was just five. From then on, she visited Alistair at the Sinclair estate every holiday.

That tradition lasted until middle school, when Alistair died of an illness. After that, she never set foot in the Sinclair residence again.

"The second semester of seventh grade. May 5th, right at the start of summer."

Nora tilted her head at him, completely baffled. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Maloney cast a fleeting glance at her. "How old was Sebastian that year?"

Nora thought for a moment.

She had been thirteen. Sebastian was ten years older than her. "He was twenty-three."

Maloney drawled lazily, "Twenty-three. What stage of life is that?"

Nora was starting to get dizzy from the interrogation.

"What stage?" she echoed blankly.

Maloney raised an eyebrow. "Think about it."
