Tonight Her Love Ended novel Chapter 256

"Are you implying that, prior to this, you haven't been very cooperative?" Tristan arched an eyebrow, looking down at her.

Nova was caught off guard but recovered quickly. "Is there something about my recent performance that you're dissatisfied with, Mr. Forrester?"

Tristan didn't respond.

Nova felt a surge of nervous tension, her steps even faltering slightly out of rhythm.

She knew The Heartland was his gift to Yvette—a grand housewarming present for the entire Sellers family's relocation.

So, she threw in another bargaining chip. "I'm willing to pay for it. You name the price."

Tristan stared at her. "I don't lack money."

"Besides, who taught you to negotiate by leading with the leverage the other side already possesses? Was it Samuel Wyndham?"

Nova froze, her heart plummeting completely to rock bottom.

She wasn't getting The Heartland back.

Earlier, while she had been frantically searching for Tristan, Chloe Zimmerman had mentioned that Yvette had already hired architects and was preparing to break ground on The Heartland.

The beautiful token of love her Dad had built for her mother was going to be completely unrecognizable.

Nova's eyes grew slightly red. She lowered her head, desperate to hide her vulnerability from the room, when she heard Tristan's voice from above her—

"After this dance, go find Sean yourself and ask him for the property transfer agreement."

He agreed?

Nova's head snapped up, staring at Tristan in shock.

He was so much taller than her—standing at six-foot-two, she had to look nearly straight up to meet his eyes.

"Are you... really okay with this?" Nova almost couldn't believe her own ears.

He had given The Heartland to Yvette...

Tristan met Nova's gaze for a fleeting moment before looking away. "You look beautiful tonight."

Nova's heart skipped a beat.

That was a yes!

He was actually willing to hand over The Heartland.
