From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Jordan frowned, turning to see Juan holding an umbrella.

Apart from his brother, few in Seamar City had such a presence.

“Juan?” Jordan snorted. “Why should I listen to you?”

“Because I’m her husband,” Juan replied, his deep eyes carrying a dangerous edge.

Jordan froze in place.

Juan tossed the umbrella aside and took Debra from Jordan’s arms. Joe raised an umbrella and followed Juan closely.

Jordan remained dazed.

He couldn’t believe Debra was Juan’s wife.

In the hospital room, Debra stirred awake to the same gloomy, rainy weather outside.

She vaguely remembered being stopped by Jordan at the entrance of Building #2 but had no idea what happened afterward.

Debra struggled to sit up and saw Juan sleeping on his hand.

“Ms. Frazier, you’re awake.” Joe entered the room with a briefcase.

Juan opened his eyes and saw Debra awake on the bed.

Debra looked at his tired face, asking, “You brought me to this hospital?”

Juan didn’t respond to her question. Joe took out a laptop from the briefcase and handed it to him.

“Mr. Nichols went to the school this morning to find you. You fainted, and he gave up his meeting to stay with you in the hospital,” Joe explained.

“Your services are not needed. Go,” Juan said.

His tone was flat, but Debra could sense the underlying anger.

She asked, “Why did you go to my school?”

“When a husband can’t reach his wife, he has to find her in person,” Juan replied sternly.

Only then did Debra remember hanging up on Juan’s call last night.

She explained, “I wasn’t feeling well last night, so…”

“So, you hung up on me just like that?” Juan interrupted,

Debra didn’t argue with him. It was indeed inappropriate to hang up on him.

“Give me your address, I’ll have someone move your things back,” Juan said.

Debra f

Debra frowned. “Juan, we agreed not to interfere with each other.”

“Can you take care of yourself living alone?” Juan asked.

“I can.”

“Is this how you take care of yourself?”

Debra was rendered speechless., “I just tend to catch colds during seasonal changes. I didn’t expect it to be so serious this time.”

“This is not a negotiation.”

“Juan…”

“Debra!” He cut her off. “Are you trying to talk back now?”

“Attending Arcane Academy was my decision. We’re in a business marriage. I’ll be a dignified Mrs. Nichols in public, but you can’t interfere and jeopardize my interests

“A business marriage?” Juan narrowed his eyes.

So, that was how she viewed their marriage. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Isn’t it?” Debra replied.

They had been nothing more than a nominal couple.

Juan took a deep breath. “Fine, I can let you live outside, but only when your studies keep you busy. Other times, I’ll have Joe pick you up and take you home. It’s unseemly for Mrs. Nichols to live elsewhere. If you don’t want Grandma to find out, do as I say.”

Debra wanted to argue, but he added, “Period!”
