Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 185

None of that mattered anymore. The sheer existence of this contract meant Tristan was sending her a very clear message...

He would only become a widower; he would never become a divorcee.

"Yes, which is exactly why I've been so generous with you." Tristan stared at his wife, the woman who was completely at a disadvantage before him. His deep eyes were an unreadable abyss.

"And that is also the reason for the final clause in our marriage agreement: the decision to divorce rests solely with me. Now you want a divorce, overturning every contract you've signed, abandoning the agreement, and actively telling my family we're separating. Where is your respect for the contract, Mrs. Forrester?"

"Am I the only one expected to uphold these agreements?"

Nova was instantly silenced by his flawless logic.

She clenched her fists, instinctively brushing her fingers against her abdomen again.

The sharp edge in Tristan's eyes softened imperceptibly when he caught the small gesture. He simply asked, "I have bent my own rules for you time and time again. According to the marriage agreement, what price are you prepared to pay to divorce me? My... dear wife."

Nova raised her head and met his gaze.

"What... do you want?"

"If you were me, repeatedly taking a loss on this deal, what would you choose, and what would you demand in return?" Tristan raised a hand and tapped the will Belinda had drafted, still resting in Nova's hands.

"As you said, I signed this contract with my own hand. But I am a businessman. Watching the wealth I built with my own hands vanish and be devoured by others simply because you won't honor our deal—that makes no sense. However, I promised I would let you go, and I always keep my word."

Nova's chest tightened as she stared at him.

The dividends he gave her alone were in the billions. He was a man standing atop an incomprehensible mountain of wealth.

Could he really bear to walk away from the colossal Forrester empire?

Before she could process it, she heard him speak.
