Not My Husband Anymore novel Chapter 73

“Prof. Nixon!”

Claudine searched the rooms, but couldn’t find any sign of Adriana.

At this time of day, Adriana should have been at home.

She took out her phone, just about to call Adriana, when she saw Adriana standing at the door, looking utterly lost.

“Prof. Nixon!”

Claudine immediately went over to support Adriana.

“Why are your hands so cold? Where have you been?”

She led Adriana to sit on the sofa and turned up the heat.

Adriana looked at Claudine in front of her, thinking of the decision she had made in her heart, and didn’t even dare to meet Claudine’s eyes.

She pulled her hand back and forced a smile.

“I’m fine, just tired.

“You should go home, go home. I want to sleep now.”

With that, Adriana headed toward the bedroom.

Claudine followed her and helped her lie down on the bed.

She had always taken care of Adriana like this and never thought there was anything wrong with it.

But in Adriana’s heart, the feeling was even more complicated.

She couldn’t face Claudine, so she turned over and closed her eyes.

Seeing that Adriana really wanted to sleep, Claudine simply thought she was tired.

“Then Prof. Nixon, you rest first. I’ll head back now.”

Adriana didn’t respond.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of the door closing that she slowly opened her eyes.

Claudine, I’m sorry…

I… I’m not worthy to be your teacher.

After being discharged from the hospital, Bridgette did not immediately return to Reedport.

There was something she hadn’t told anyone.

That day, she had fainted not only because of her father’s situation, but also because she had seen someone who should not have appeared in the country.

In the café.

Roberto looked at the woman in front of him. Usually so gentlemanly and refined, there was not a trace of warmth on his face now.

Bridgette picked up her coffee, took a delicate sip, and set it down gracefully.

She took a card out of her bag and slid it over to Roberto.

Seeing the card, a mocking smile appeared on Roberto’s face.

He picked up the card.

“Back then, Mrs. Hogan used money to break up Claudine and me. Now you’re trying the same trick again?”

At that moment, Damian had just finished inspecting one of his company’s malls and was about to return to the office when he saw some familiar faces in the mall’s café.

It was Claudine’s mother and Roberto!

How could they possibly know each other?

Bridgette looked at the young man in front of her.

She recalled the first time she met him: he was wearing a school uniform faded from too many washes, and his once- white sneakers had long since turned yellow.

Back then, he sat across from her, so nervous that he could barely hold his coffee steady.

Now, dressed in an expensive suit, his every gesture was completely different from before.

“It seems you’ve really made something of yourself these past years.”

“It’s all thanks to Mrs. Hogan!”

Roberto set down his coffee, his mind drifting back to that day eleven years ago.

Eleven years ago, in a café just like this one, Bridgette had told him to leave Claudine, take the money she offered, and go abroad to study.

Back then, he was just an orphan with no parents.
