Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 232

“You—”

Eleanor dug her nails into her palm, furious that Nora would embarrass her like this in front of the family.

“If you’re hungry, Ms. Quinn, just eat. Stop staring at me like that,” Nora said, her tone light but barbed. “There’s plenty of food on the table. More than enough for you.”

Her mood, sour just moments before, suddenly turned bright. Today was absolutely worth coming.

Eleanor’s eyes filled with tears.

Monica couldn’t stand it anymore. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up. “Nora, that’s enough. Seriously.”

Nora arched an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “What did I do now?”

“Were you starving in a past life or something? You act like you’ve never had a proper meal!” Monica snapped without thinking.

Daniel set his bowl down with a sharp clatter, the sound echoing across the table.

“Ms. Cooper, are you cursing my child?” His voice was cold.

Monica’s face drained of color as she realized what she’d said. “That’s not what I meant, Dan, I swear.”

David could only sigh at his daughter’s lack of tact. He muttered quietly, “That’s enough, Monica. Sit down.”

Nora was stirring the pot, Eleanor was playing the victim, and Monica didn’t even realize she’d been used as a pawn.

Fuming, Monica sat back down.

Nora, having eaten more than she should just to spite Eleanor, suddenly felt a wave of nausea. The morning sickness hit hard and fast.

She hurried out to the restroom.

After a few minutes bent over the sink, the nausea finally eased. She rinsed her mouth, then looked up at her pale reflection in the mirror, letting out a weary, bitter laugh.

Maybe it was the complicated feelings she had about this pregnancy, but the sickness was worse than last time—anything she ate, she threw up.

She splashed her face with cold water.

When she looked up again, she caught Eleanor’s reflection in the mirror behind her.

The exhaustion vanished from Nora’s face.

She washed her hands slowly, deliberately, then turned to face Eleanor. “Did you need something?”
