Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 127

Lawrence noticed something was off immediately.

It was deliberate.

A deliberate show of affection.

Lawrence's eyes instantly reddened. He was about to speak when Tristan beat him to it.

"Dad, get some rest. Whenever Nova comes to visit you, I'll come with her. You don't need to worry about her. She's incredibly smart; her future is only going to get brighter."

In that split second, Lawrence second-guessed himself.

He looked at Nova.

Nova was wound tight as a bowstring. Tristan reached out, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from her face, and smiled faintly. "Is my Mrs. Forrester stunned speechless, hmm?"

"Dad." Nova found her voice. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but in that moment, she felt Tristan's thumb gently stroke the back of her hand, as if trying to soothe her.

She was too anxious to dwell on it. Meeting her dad's gaze, she said:

"Don't worry about me. I've hired elite security to guard this floor. As for Ian's case, Tristan is stepping in. Getting his sentence reduced to three years or less won't be a problem. We should see progress within a month."

The Forrester Group's legal team moved incredibly fast when it came to securing sentence reductions.

It was as if Lawrence suddenly understood something. He covered his face with his hands and waved them away.

Nova knew her dad was crying.

She didn't dare stay any longer, terrified that if she did, her own carefully suppressed emotions would shatter.

She made an excuse and left the room.

Belinda stayed behind. She genuinely admired Lawrence and wanted to help the Clarke family get back on their feet.

She had more than enough money, and because she loved Nova, she was more than happy to elevate the Clarkes, including Ian.

But Lawrence politely declined.

The moment they stepped into the elevator, Tristan dropped her hand.

Nova felt completely unfazed. Honestly, she realized that making this purely transactional made everything much easier to swallow.
