Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 400

She offered a few comforting words with a smile, then returned to her room. After washing up, she went straight to bed.

The next morning, when she came downstairs, she found Mr. Hogan Chambers and Daniel sitting in the living room.

Mr. Hogan Chambers greeted her warmly, his eyes crinkling with a smile. “Aurora.”

Nora didn’t spare Daniel a glance—she just nodded politely to the old man. “What brings you here this morning?”

He sighed, still smiling. “I heard there was some trouble in your family. I wanted to check in.”

David’s funeral had been a quiet affair, attended only by immediate family; friends and acquaintances hadn’t been invited. So it wasn’t until now that Mr. Hogan Chambers learned what had happened.

But now, he finally had a reason to bring Daniel along to see Nora.

Daniel sat quietly beside him, saying nothing. He didn’t even look at Nora.

As soon as she entered, Daniel stood and announced, “I’ll go find Hans.”

Hans, exhausted after two days of family matters, was still upstairs, not yet awake.

Daniel headed to his room.

Nora wandered into the small garden.

The autumn sun was golden and gentle. On bright mornings like this, she always enjoyed basking in its warmth for a while.

Mr. Hogan Chambers let out a resigned sigh. “There’s really something special between our two families…”

He was trying to broach the subject of Daniel and Nora.

The elderly Mrs. Cooper, however, gave him a frosty look. “They’re already divorced.”

Mr. Hogan Chambers grew anxious. “But Nora’s carrying Dan’s child. No matter what happens, we can’t let a Chambers heir be raised outside the family. Besides, there are still feelings between them. Their breakup was just a misunderstanding—maybe they could spend some time together and see where it leads?”

Mrs. Cooper let out a cold, mocking laugh. “The Cooper family is more than capable of raising a child, thank you.”

“That’s not what I meant—”

He just wanted to hold his great-grandchild, that was all.

“If Nora wants to keep the child, the baby will carry the Cooper name. If she decides otherwise, that’s her choice, and our family will stand by her,” Mrs. Cooper said firmly, making it clear she respected her granddaughter’s decision. “As for Daniel,” she added, voice dripping with disdain, “a man so utterly clueless doesn’t deserve to be my grandson-in-law. If you want a great-grandchild so badly, why not set him up with someone else? Arrange a matchmaking, have him married by January and expecting by February—there’s still time.”

Hans, hair still a mess from sleep, watched Daniel and couldn’t help but think: Serves you right.

Still, they’d been friends since childhood, and Daniel had been a huge help during the Cooper family’s recent troubles. So, if Daniel wanted to watch, Hans didn’t stop him.

Let him look.

He could look all he wanted.

Soon enough, he wouldn’t be able to anymore.

Nora, though Susan’s own protégé, still lacked some practical experience, and she’d decided to pursue further training.

Mr. Frost fully supported her choice. After all, perfumery required more than just theory behind closed doors—it demanded broader knowledge and a wider perspective.

Nora’s decision to continue her studies was a good one.

But Hans hadn’t told Daniel any of this.

They might be close as brothers, but Daniel had let Nora down, and Hans felt that some things Daniel didn’t have the right to know anymore.
