Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 186

Nova clearly saw the caller ID on the screen: Yvette.

Tristan stood up. Without answering Nova's question, he gave her one final look.

"You have one night to think about it. If days pass without an answer, it will be considered your consent to continue honoring the marriage agreement. Your financial dividends will remain unchanged, and you are free to go abroad. You will continue to enjoy every single privilege of being Mrs. Forrester, and anything concerning your father and brother will remain my responsibility."

Perhaps out of pity, or perhaps as a final psychological blow, he added, "Nova, a man who says he loves you might not be willing to do this much for you, nor would he necessarily have the power to do so."

He pressed a handkerchief into her hand.

A dark blue square of silk, embroidered with the letter 'F'.

Nova looked up at his retreating back. She wanted to ask: Why not just let Yvette have the child, pretend it was hers, and groom that one instead?

But then she caught herself and smiled bitterly.

Tristan cherished Yvette too much to ever let her endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth.

Yvette herself had stated that she was prioritizing her career and had no plans for children.

And his love for Yvette was so deep that he happily accepted a life without kids just for her.

How deeply must he love her to go that far...

Justin gathered the documents, telling her to contact him if she made a decision.

Before leaving, Justin paused. "Ma'am, have you ever heard a certain saying?"

Nova looked at him.

"The core truth of marriage," Justin began pragmatically, "is actually about securing a powerful father for your children and a high starting point in life, not just about finding a husband for yourself. Even for ordinary couples who start out deeply in love, in the end, it all comes down to surviving on basic decency. The reality is, relationships fade. But money is different. Money is quantifiable. As long as there is enough of it, you never have to worry about it depreciating."

"Speaking purely from a logical standpoint, you should absolutely take Mr. Forrester's deal. Give him a child, then divorce him. Mr. Forrester doesn't care about gender; his only metric is competence. Your child would stand atop the immense wealth of the Forrester family, wielding absolute power. You would be permanently tied to the absolute peak of high society. Any problem you face in the future could be solved with a single sentence. It's a massive win for you."

Anyone with half a brain knew what to choose.

Yet women always just wanted a divorce, to separate, to break clean.
