The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 78

But now, thinking about it all over again was actually starting to irritate her.

"What do you mean, name one person? There's no 'one person'—literally everyone knows you liked her," Nora mumbled, her brow furrowing. "Parker was just talking about it. If you asked any of your old friends, they'd all say the same thing."

"They're rumors," Maloney stated flatly.

Something clicked in Nora's brain, and she added, "She even says it herself."

"She's delusional."

Nora went silent.

"Nora." Maloney gently gripped her waist and effortlessly lifted and spun her so that she was straddling his lap, forcing her to look him dead in the eye. "Do you trust me?"

Nora didn't look away.

But she wasn't entirely sure if what she was feeling counted as trust.

She had moved past caring about this a long time ago.

It was completely normal for people to have past relationships.

Nora had offered the divorce to give Maloney and Seraphina their happy ending, but Maloney had refused.

He told her he liked her.

And Nora had undeniably felt the weight of that affection.

So whatever happened in the past didn't really matter anymore.

She thought for a moment before answering, "I trust you... mostly."

Maloney was speechless for a second.

He pressed on. "What part don't you trust?"
