THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 488

To Xavier, his sister meant the world.

But so did the person who had once saved his life.

He would do his best to be fair to both.

“Father Xavier, first of all, I completely understand how you’re feeling right now. Second, don’t be so pessimistic. It’s not only if the person was a mermaid that she’d leave the scene, you know? Even though I have no idea why she took off in such a rush after saving you—leaving Katrina to pick up the pieces—I do believe we’ll find her in the end.”

A debt owed to your savior must be repaid, but there was no way Katrina would get the upper hand.

Meanwhile—

Inside her hotel room, Katrina lay sprawled on the bed, waiting for Xavier to call her. She waited and waited, but the phone never rang.

A knot of worry began to twist in her stomach.

Was Xavier really going to cut ties with the woman who had saved his life?

The thought made her uneasy, her anxiety rising with every passing minute.

She slipped off the bed and picked up the phone from the bedside table, dialing the front desk. “Room service, please. Bring me the chef’s special for one, and put it on Xavier’s account.”

“Of course, Miss Prescott. I’ll let the kitchen know right away.”

Katrina hung up.

Ordering food wasn’t really the point; she was testing the waters.

She wanted to see where she stood in Xavier’s heart.

She knew the front desk would contact Xavier immediately after her call. If he truly wanted to break up, he would refuse to cover her bill. But if he still cared, he’d allow it without a word.

Half an hour later—

Ding-dong!

The doorbell chimed.

Katrina called out, “Who is it?”

“Miss Prescott, it’s room service with your meal.”

A satisfied smile crept onto her lips. “Coming!”

She knew it—Xavier would never really break up with her.

They were truly in love.

And besides, she was his savior! For that reason alone, Xavier would never be rid of her.

She rose and opened the door.
