Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 401

Audrey’s POV

Adrian held his iPhone up, frowning as he scrolled through comments pouring in after William Parker’s livestream. We were in his car, just leaving Mayo

Clinic.

‘Is this eye contact really that emotional?” Adrian muttered, squinting at the screen. “I honestly don’t see it.”

I leaned over to look at what had caught his attention. The video showed Blake staring at me during the livestream – the moment that had apparently set social media on fire.

“Isn’t this just a normal glance?’ Adrian continued, genuinely confused. “Where exactly are people seeing all this emotion they’re talking about?”

He handed me his phone. “Here, check it out yourself.”

I took the device, my finger hovering over the screen. There was Blake, his eyes meeting mine for that brief moment everyone was dissecting. Once, I could read every flicker of emotion in those eyes. Now, I couldn’t see what the commenters were so excited about.

I stared at the frozen frame, something twisting inside me.

Maybe it’s because I don’t love him anymore.

The thought settled quietly as I handed the phone back to Adrian.

“Probably just internet drama,” I said with a shrug.

Adrian shook his head, still scrolling. “I think they’re just making up stories because they found out Rachel’s been using your identity. They’re upset and want to paint Blake as still being in love with you to make Rachel look even worse.”

I turned to look out the window, watching New York blur past. “You might be right.”

The car fell silent for a while before Adrian spoke again.
