The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 217

Jax had been wanting to move in with her for a long time. However, because Xanthe was staying there, he had felt it would be inappropriate and never brought it up.

Since she was formally inviting him, he agreed instantly, eager to protect her.

"Absolutely. I'll head over for dinner tonight, and I'll have the housekeeper pack my things and bring them over."

With Jax in the house, Mathis wouldn't dare pull any stunts. He had already tried the 'apology flowers' routine today; he was bound to have some new theatrical performance lined up for tonight.

They were divorced. Bianca had zero interest in acting in his plays anymore.

He could save his Oscar-worthy performances for Cynthia!

Having Jax around made Bianca feel like she wasn't completely alone. Ever since Mabel passed away, Bianca felt like a piece of driftwood, utterly unmoored in the world.

No home, no family.

But upon returning, she realized she still had her daughter, and she had her brother.

She was going to rebuild her family piece by piece. She hated that suffocating feeling of total isolation.

Her therapist had told her that the illusion of having no family left had plunged her into an endless void of loneliness.

Coupled with her naturally reserved personality, she had withdrawn from people entirely.

To fight her depression, she couldn't isolate herself. She needed the warmth and noise of everyday human connection to pull her back to reality.

When she arrived at Crestmont International, Mathis was already there.

He was sitting on the living room sofa, exuding the arrogant aura of the man of the house. It instantly made Bianca's blood boil.

When he saw Jax walk in with her, his face darkened aggressively.

He stood up abruptly. "Why is he with you?"
