Belinda tried to interject, wanting to remind Tristan to cherish the woman in front of him.
But before she could speak, Tristan ushered Nova into the hallway. He had already anticipated his grandmother's lecture.
"I swear to you, I will not divorce her. The contracts are already signed, aren't they? What are you worried about? Anyone watching would think she was your actual granddaughter."
Belinda gripped his hand, her cloudy eyes suddenly sharp. "I trust you. You've never let me down before! Treat her well, she deserves it!"
Tristan looked down at her, his expression unreadable. "Get some rest."
Back in their bedroom, Nova was just sliding under the covers, ready to sleep.
He walked over, switched off the bedside lamp, and lay down beside her.
Neither of them spoke. It was as if she were completely invisible to him.
She found the whole situation darkly hilarious.
They were on the verge of divorce, yet she saw him more often now than ever before, and they were actually sharing a bed.
This was everything she used to dream of.
But now? Now she felt nothing but bitter irony and deep-seated repulsion.
She didn't remember falling asleep, but when she opened her eyes, she was horrified to find she had somehow rolled directly into his arms.
The heat radiating from his body made her incredibly uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a sharp cramp seized her lower abdomen.
She grimaced, holding her breath as she carefully tried to extract herself from his grip.
The moment she tried to pry his arm away, his eyes snapped open.
For a split second, they stared at each other in the dark. Then, with a heavy frown, he sat up.
Without sparing her a second glance, he headed straight for the bathroom.
She hesitated, then spoke to his retreating back. "There's no one else in here. Even if we don't sleep in the same bed, Belinda won't find out."
He stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at her in silence.
She could see the cold, calculating scrutiny in his eyes.
