Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 144

"Nova, you took his money, you took the shares. That makes him your boss now. Don't throw tantrums at your boss, and definitely don't let your feelings blur the professional line. Who he kisses, whose bed he's in at night—none of it is your business. Even if he runs out of condoms while sleeping with Yvette and tells you to go buy more, you go. You go with a smile, and you come back with a smile."

By evening, Nova stood outside Forrester Hospital, Samuel's words still echoing in her ears.

He was right. You couldn't have your cake and eat it too.

That was exactly what Tristan had meant.

She found a new sense of clarity. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out the ring he had given her and slipped it onto her left ring finger.

Plastering a bright, happy smile onto her face, she stepped out of the elevator.

But the moment she walked into Belinda's VIP suite—

"Nova?" The older woman beamed at her late arrival, waving her over. "Come here, come here!"

Then, turning to Tristan, she playfully scolded, "Look at you, saying she was too busy to come. Busy with what? She came all on her own! Hurry up and bring your wife over here!"

He had been standing near the door and turned to approach her.

Nova hadn't expected him to be here. Since Yvette had dressed so seductively for him today, she assumed he wouldn't have the time.

But as he stepped closer, she caught the faint, unmistakable scent of Chanel's classic perfume—Yvette's signature scent. A wave of nausea hit her again, but she ruthlessly swallowed it down.

As he got close, she actively reached out and took his hand. "Honey, why didn't you tell me you were coming to see Grandma and my dad?"

The sudden pet name and unprompted intimacy made him raise an eyebrow, his back turned to Belinda.

But in a split second, his expression smoothed out. He squeezed her hand back. "Next time."
