Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 128

Nova stared blankly at the boxes labeled "XXL."

She had never bought anything like this before. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly grabbed them and tossed them onto the checkout counter, burying them under the rest of the items.

From behind her, a teasing voice rang out. "You look so young, but you're definitely a lucky girl. That's a magnum size... You rarely see local guys needing that size. He must be treating you well! Is your boyfriend a foreigner?"

Nova turned to see an elegantly dressed middle-aged woman with a slight European accent, clearly an expat who had just returned to the country.

Caught off guard, Nova's face burned. She offered a polite, clipped reply: "He's my husband. And he's local."

"Really? Good for him!" the woman laughed, clearly lacking a filter after years abroad, eager to keep chatting.

After all, Nova's expensive attire made her seem like someone worth talking to.

Nova just forced an awkward smile and kept quiet. Even as she walked away, she could feel the woman's amused gaze following her.

Once she got back to the apartment, she planned to shove everything into a box, only bringing it out if Belinda actually showed up.

But even when Tristan wasn't around, it felt like he had eyes on her. Her phone rang.

"Are you home?" he asked.

Nova nodded as if he could see her. "Yes. Do you need something?"

Her tone was strictly business.

She felt the man on the other end pause for a second before saying, "I'll be staying over later."

Nova's instinct was to reject him, and Tristan seemed to anticipate it. "Today is the weekend," he reminded her. "Either you come back to Clearwater Manor, or I stay at your place. Take your pick."

She hated both options.

After a long silence, she replied, "You could just go to the office and work overtime."

The moment the words left her mouth, there was dead silence. A second later, she heard him let out a scoff before he hung up the phone.
