Time-Limited Love: A Contract Expired, Not Renewed novel Chapter 330

330 /413

Landon sat in heavy silence, eyes rimmed red, his whole posture radiating defeat.

“If there’s anything else you want to discuss, say it now. If not, I’m heading back to my office,” Zinnia said, each word clear and certain.

He finally looked up at her, and for a moment he seemed utterly wrecked—yet somehow, as if clinging to his last hope, he reached out and gripped her sleeve, desperate.

“I’ve already punished the Jensen family. They’ll be bankrupt soon. Noelle won’t dare come after you again.”

He held onto her sleeve as if that alone could win her forgiveness.

Zinnia was taken aback.

Hadn’t Noelle called Landon this morning, bringing up the so-called debt he owed her? And hadn’t Landon told her to go to Ford Group to find him?

So, had he summoned Noelle just to tell her, face to face, that her family was about to lose everything?

He actually needed to break the news of their bankruptcy in person—if that isn’t love, what is?

Zinnia couldn’t help the cynical thought.

Still, if Landon really intended to bring down the Jensens and keep Noelle away from her, she had to admit that was at least one good deed.

For someone like Noelle, who’d been pampered her whole life, losing her family fortune—no more designer handbags, no more being fawned over—would be worse than death. Especially since the person taking it all away was none other than Landon, the man she’d loved to the point of obsession.

Landon made her, and Landon destroyed her. Zinnia actually felt a flash of pity for Noelle.

Landon, seeing Zinnia’s silence, grew even more anxious.

“From now on, I’m done with the Jensens. And with Noelle. I’ve repaid her, everything I owed her these past years. Zinnia, please—give me a chance. I swear, I’ll never be involved with her again.”
