The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 342

After waiting a good while, there was still no response.

Thanks to Parker's dramatic interruption, Cassidy was no longer the least bit sleepy, and had wanted to eat her oatmeal and chat with Nora about life.

Taking a few bites of her food, it suddenly dawned on her that Nora had just flown back to the capital from Southampton today.

At this exact moment, she and Maloney were undoubtedly tearing up the sheets.

Sure enough.

When Nora visited her at the hospital the next day, she looked like she had been entirely drained of her life force.

The sight actually made Cassidy laugh out loud.

"Did a succubus suck your soul out through your mouth?"

Nora was speechless.

It was all because of the whole big bed versus small bed dynamic.

The small bed meant standard, everyday intimacy.

The big bed meant Maloney was in absolute, dominant control, entirely disregarding her pacing unless she bit down hard on his ring finger or screamed their safe word, The Apple Tree.

Yesterday was a long-awaited reunion, so naturally, they had opted for the big bed.

And Nora hadn't used the safe word once, holding out until the bitter end.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad.

It was just heavier, wilder, endlessly prolonged, utterly exhausting, and involved a lot more physical overpowering than usual...

The very first time he had unleashed himself like that, she hadn't known what she was in for, and the overwhelming intensity had panicked her into calling it off.

By the second time, she had learned to embrace it.

Cassidy studied the look on her face. "You actually look like you enjoyed it."

"..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I came here to tell you something important."

Nora leaned in closer to the bed. "When I was walking in just now, I saw Parker's secretary."

Cassidy frowned instantly. "What kind of game is he playing now?"

Nora suggested, "Maybe holding his baby awakened his paternal instincts, and he genuinely wants to protect his family now."

Cassidy's frown deepened into a scowl. "Him? Impossible."

But as it turned out.

The more half-assed a scumbag was, the more prone they were to sudden, inexplicable bouts of enlightenment.

"Cass."

Shortly after Nora had left, Parker approached the hospital bed, his tone earnest. "Let's wipe the slate clean. Let's forget everything that happened in the past and start completely over. Let's live a good life together."

Cassidy stared at him in sheer, unadulterated horror.

Wipe the slate clean?

Who the hell wanted to wipe the slate clean with him?!
