Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 159

Aurora secretly tried to ask Will about Daniel’s whereabouts.

Will wouldn’t say a word.

Given Daniel’s current mood, Will didn’t dare make any decisions on his own.

Aurora had no choice but to wait for him at North Manor.

He had to come home eventually.

It was one in the morning when Daniel finally returned.

His car rolled quietly into the driveway. Daniel unfolded his long legs and stepped out, moving with a cool, unhurried confidence.

“Mr. Chambers.” Aurora scrambled to her feet, but her legs had gone numb and she stumbled awkwardly.

Daniel didn’t spare her a glance. He walked right past her, unlocked the front door, and disappeared inside.

By the time Aurora hobbled over to the entrance, all that was left to greet her was the heavy, locked door.

She hesitated, then tried the keypad.

Incorrect code.

A rueful smile tugged at her lips—Daniel had changed the code.

Left with no other option, she sank down on the steps, knees drawn to her chest.

She didn’t know if thirty minutes or an hour had passed before she finally pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

On her second try, Daniel picked up. “What is it?”

His tone was clipped, giving nothing away, as if he had no idea why Aurora was calling.

Aurora softened her voice, trying to sound conciliatory. “You changed the code? Can we talk?”

She knew Daniel had a temper; she’d spent the whole evening steeling herself, determined to hold back her hurt, no matter what he said.

Daniel let out a cold, dismissive laugh on the other end. “We’re divorced, Ms. Quinn. You have no right to be here, and no right to ask me for anything.”

With that, he hung up.

Aurora gripped her phone tightly, understanding all too well that the vengeful Daniel was back.

She hugged her knees and stared into the darkness, feeling lost and adrift.

Aurora waited outside all night. At seven in the morning, Daniel emerged, impeccably dressed.

Without a word, he strode past her as if she were invisible.

Aurora hurried after him. “Just give me three minutes—please?”

Her only answer was the roar of his car engine and the lingering haze of exhaust.

Gritting her teeth, Aurora called a cab and headed straight to Chambers Group headquarters.
