Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 230

Payne pressed a noisy kiss to Daniel’s cheek—a little show of gratitude.

“Mr. Chambers, Mom said you’re busy and didn’t have time to visit me.”

He scratched his head, puzzled as to why the always-busy Mr. Chambers had shown up after all.

Nora felt a twinge of awkwardness.

Daniel looked at her for a long moment, then ruffled Payne’s soft hair.

“Of course I’d come see you, Payne. I’m just waiting for you to get better so you can protect your little sister.”

Payne clapped his hands in delight.

Nora rolled her eyes inwardly.

She could see right through Daniel; he was deliberately dangling the idea of a little sister in front of Payne.

He knew she would never let Payne get hurt or disappointed.

So as long as Payne loved and looked forward to his sister, she would have to take good care of the baby she was carrying.

Sometimes, when a man played his cards right, a woman could only admit defeat.

Payne was still weak, so after a short visit, Nora and Payne were politely ushered out by the nurse that Mrs. Winters had sent.

The elderly Mrs. Winters took care of every detail when it came to Payne.

Whether out of guilt or some other motive, Nora was grateful to her all the same.

She and Daniel got into the elevator together.

The elevator hummed quietly as it descended floor by floor.

Daniel watched the numbers tick down. “I have a dinner to attend. You’re coming with me.”

“I’m not,” Nora shot back.

The doors slid open on the ground floor.

Nora started to step out, but Daniel grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in.

The doors closed, the elevator continued downward.

“I’m informing you, not asking for your opinion,” Daniel said, his tone leaving no room for argument as he guided her rather forcefully into the front passenger seat of his car.

Nora didn’t want to argue. She buckled her seatbelt in silence.
