The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 371

"I'm attending a cultural event for the Women Entrepreneurs Association next month, and the dress code requires everyone to wear a gown. I haven't lost the baby weight yet, so my old ones don't fit. I need you to make me a new one."

"No problem!" Nora said excitedly. "Come pick me up from my house, and I'll make it for you today!"

Cassidy: "..."

She gasped, "Is your husband still keeping you locked up?"

He absolutely was!

Nora had a million grievances but nowhere to air them.

Her immune system was just a little weak. She was diligently following her doctor's orders, taking her supplements every day, yet Maloney hovered over her constantly. She had to report whenever she left the house, her outings were timed, and she had zero freedom.

"Never mind," Cassidy said. "I'll just go to the studio and have your junior apprentice do it."

Nora panicked. "Don't do that!"

Cassidy had no intention of getting involved in Nora and Maloney's domestic disputes.

After hanging up, Nora lay dejectedly on her bed and texted her newest apprentice with detailed instructions for Cassidy's gown.

But even after sending the texts, she couldn't let it go. She got up and marched into the study to find Maloney.

"I'm going out."

Nora stood in the doorway, puffing her cheeks and glaring at him.

Maloney's fingers paused over his keyboard. He lifted his gaze from the screen, stared calmly at her for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice, "Where?"

"To the studio."

"To do what?"

"To make Cassidy a gown."

Maloney beckoned to her. "Nora, come here."

Pouting, Nora walked over to him. "Don't think you can distract me by kissing me again..."

Before she could finish her sentence, his hand grasped her waist right through her silk nightgown. With a firm tug, he pulled her onto his lap.

Her lips were claimed.

Nora: "..."

Resigned to her fate, she responded to his lingering kiss.

Maloney shifted his leg, adjusting her posture on his lap to deepen the kiss.
