Whats She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Noelle walked in

Finnian sat behind his desk, documents spread out before him, a fountain pen in his hand. When he looked up and saw Noelle, his brow twitched slightly. He set the pen down and leaned back in his chair. “What brings you here?”

Hearing his question, Noelle walked over, feigning a relaxed smile. “I just came from Aethelstan to hand over some work. There are a few documents here that need your signature.”

She pushed the folder across the desk.

Finnian took it, opened it, and read through the pages one by one. Finally, he picked up his pen and quickly signed his name.

Noelle watched his profile. The morning sun hit the sharp angles of his face, making his features look even more strikingly handsome.

For a moment, Noelle was completely mesmerized, her mind wandering.

Once he finished signing, Finnian handed the documents back. “All set.”

When she saw that he hadn’t stood up from his chair, she froze.

In the past, whenever she came to his office, he would always stand up, ask if she wanted water, and casually chat with her like family or a close

friend.

Today, his attitude was ice cold.

Noelle stared at the documents without reaching for them, just standing there blankly, her fingers twisting the strap of her purse around and

around.

“Finnian,” Noelle said softly, “have you been busy lately?”

Finnian replied flatly, “I’ve been alright.”

Noelle forced a bright smile. “I’m getting used to living at the Lawrence house again. Martha makes me soup every single day. Look, I’ve even gained a little weight…”

As she spoke, she reached up to touch her slightly fuller cheek.

Finnian’s gaze swept over her face briefly before he said in an indifferent tone, “Good, make sure you get plenty of rest.”

Was that it? Just a generic dismissal?

Noelle waited a moment, but nothing else followed. She looked stunned, suddenly at a loss for words.

“Finnian, are you still mad at me?” Noelle let her disappointment and sorrow show plainly on her face. Her voice was soft, carrying that signature vulnerability she had always mastered.

Finnian looked at her, his expression entirely unreadable. “I’m not mad.”

“Then why haven’t you come to see me? Why aren’t you replying to my texts? I thought you were just busy, but now it seems like you just don’t want to talk to me.” As Noelle spoke, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks. “I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes. Finnian, please just give me a chance to make it right. I promise I’ll change. Could you just…”

“Noelle.” Finnian cut her off, his face serious, the usual pity completely absent from his eyes. “The most important thing for you right now is to take care of your health and deliver the baby safely. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Noelle froze, tears pooling in her eyes, choking on the countless words lodged in her throat.

“Did you and Kaia… really get a divorce?” Noelle blurted out suddenly.

Finnian looked up, his eyes narrowing as they locked onto her.
