Richest Mogul

Chapter 1521

Finn's voice carried a gentleness that felt almost tangible. For a brief moment, it transported Janine back 20 years to a life that felt like a dream.

Back then, their marriage in that little countryside village had been the envy of everyone. Everyone admired their love for each other.

People would say, "If you're looking for a husband, find one like Finn who treats his wife like a queen. And for a wife, there's no one better than Janine-understanding and kind. With a couple like that, life can only get better and better."

Janine looked at Finn, her eyes meeting his. He appeared apologetic. However, something about the look in his eyes seemed off. There was no genuine remorse in them.

She froze.

Despite the 20 years that had passed, Janine knew him all too well. They had been married for years, and before that, they had known each other for much longer. Despite the two decades apart, Janine could still sense that Finn's apology wasn't as sincere as it appeared. This realization brought a wave of calm over her. Her years in the workplace had honed her composure, giving her the ability to face even the most urgent situations with a level head.

By now, Janine had shifted from her initial shock to a state of composed detachment. Her voice was calm as she said, "I won't lie-I'm surprised."

Finn's expression shifted. He hadn't expected this reaction. He was well aware of how deeply Janine had loved him more than two decades ago.

After so many years apart, seeing Janine again, so indifferent, left him with an uncomfortable feeling he couldn't quite describe.
