Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 272

Hans’s expression was always cool, his eyes almost indifferent—there was not a hint of sympathy or chivalry about him.

“People break up all the time. Isn’t that normal?” he said flatly.

With those words, he turned and strode after Nora, leaving Eleanor standing behind.

Eleanor took a few hurried steps after them, then stopped, frustration bubbling up inside her.

It was always Nora. Nora had Daniel, and now she was going to let her best friend have Hans.

They were trying to steal away every man who’d ever cared about her.

Downstairs, Nora stood on the curb, waiting for her car.

Hans lingered beside her, repeating himself without emotion. “If you really want to get away from Daniel, I can help.”
