He Deceived Me So I Destroyed His Family’s Legacy Chapter 08
Then Vanessa had fallen ill, and he had left in a rush, telling Julian to go in his place.
Adrian’s fingers tightened around the glass.
The surface of the champagne trembled.
He shouldn’t be thinking of her now.
Tonight was his public wedding to Vanessa.
He met Vanessa’s adoring gaze and smiled.
“Vanessa, that dress is beautiful on you.”
Her eyes softened. She lowered her head and blushed.
Suddenly, Adrian thought of Nora’s eyes.
He thought of the look she’d had when she pressed the scissors to her own neck—the look of someone ready to burn the entire Blackwood family to the ground.
She hadn’t always been like that.
The Nora from before would lower her head in front of him, carefully straightening his cuff as she asked,
“Adrian, will you be home early tonight?”
She had just been through too much.
Once Vanessa was officially settled, everything could go back to normal.
He had fulfilled his promise to Vanessa.
After this, he could finally treat Nora properly.
He would go to her room and give her a child himself.
Nora would surely wrap her arms around him, happy again, and whisper his name just like she used to.
Then she would understand. He had never been indifferent to her.
