Chapter85
Looking at her nonchalant expression, Nigel only felt that his
breath was stuck in his chest. “I’ll leave it to the police to handle.”
Lottie’s long eyelashes fluttered. There was no emotion on his
plain face.
It was just as she had said just now. She did not care about him
at all.
Nigel frowned. She could not understand why she did not even
know how to show weakness now.
He even thought that even if she did it, as long as she was
willing to be obedient.For the sake of their past relationship, he
would not pursue the matter.
Nigel’s face turned cold. “Even if it’s a moment of impulse,
there’s always a price to pay for doing something wrong.”
Then, he strode away.
The police routinely asked a few more questions and asked
Lottie to leave after understanding the situation.
In the dead of winter, Lottie walked out of police station. Almost
Chapter 5
instantly, his entire body was soaked in coldness.
A familiar Maybach was parked at the main entrance.When
she passed by, the car window rolled down, revealing Nigel’s
flawless face. It was rare for him to be so cold. “I’ll pick you up
and bring you back to the old residence at Grandma’s birthday
banquet tomorrow.”
Lottie finally understood why he was here.
It was for Esther again.
No matter how bad things were with her, she was willing to
look for her for the sake of Esther.
He needed to create a loving couple at the old residence.
However, this time, Lottie was unwilling to cooperate. “I’m not
free tomorrow.”She had to make progress on the Pollard Group
project as soon as possible.
After leaving Mathis family, Pollard family would only be a
little afraid of her if she did this project well.
She didn’t want to go back to the past. She didn’t want to be
stepped in the mud, unable to struggle, unable to be free.
Nigel’s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “You’re not even
Chapter 5
acting anymore?”
Lottie was about to speak when two WeChat messages
suddenly came in.
It was from Nigel’s mother, Erin.A text message [The divorce
certificate is done. Remember to come to Grandma’s birthday
banquet tomorrow.]
There was also a photo.
Divorce certificate photo.
When Lottie saw his name on it, he felt as if a heavy burden had
been lifted off his shoulders. The corners of his lips
subconsciously curled up, and his dimples were faintly
discernible. When he looked at Nigel again, his attitude was
much better.
“I’m free tomorrow.”
Nigel suddenly realized that her smile was especially lively and
beautiful. For a moment, he was actually stunned. “What did
you say?““”I said, I can attend the birthday banquet with you
tomorrow.”
Her voice was light.

Nigel frowned. Her mood seemed to have suddenly improved
since she finished looking at her phone.
It was just like how the female lead in television dramas would
smile when she received news of an ambiguous partner.
His eyes were sharp. “Who just sent you a message?”
“It’s my privacy.“Of course, Lottie would not even tell him about
this.
Nigel felt extremely uncomfortable. Even Esther could not
affect his emotions so frequently.
It was probably because no man could accept being cheated on
by his wife.
He thought.
He looked at her and reminded her, “Lottie, you can fool around
as much as you want. But having an affair is my bottom line.”
“Yeah.”Lottie’s voice was clear and calm. He even regained his
usual obedientness. “I know.”
They were no longer married.
Seeing her submissive look, Nigel’s anger dissipated in an
instant. He said gently, “Prepare yourself tomorrow. I’ll pick you
Chapter 5
up before returning to the old residence.”
“Okay.”
Lottie could guess Nigel’s motive for asking her to return to the
old residence with him, but he could not be sure about Erin.
However, when he arrived at the old residence and saw a few
daughters of prestigious families standing beside Erin, he
quickly understood.
Today’s banquet was Erma’s birthday banquet on the surface,
but it was actually Nigel’s blind date.
Erin also took advantage of today to vent the anger of being
asked for too much by her last time.
He just wanted to tell her that if he divorced her, Nigel could
marry someone better at any time.
This marriage was already out of her league.”Nigel, coming.”
Seeing that Lottie and Nigel came together, Erin glanced at her
hand on his son’s body. Displeasure flashed across his eyes, but
his face was as kind as before. “Lottie, Grandma was talking
about you just now. Go and see her first.”
“Okay.”
Lottie did not want to be a third wheel here either, so he
tactfully agreed.
Nigel said. “I’ll go with you.”
