Chapter 13

Mason had initially arranged for dinner but he canceled it after learning about this.

Josephine's current state required more rest at home.

Since their meeting, she had been listless. She would hardly speak, wear a tired smile, and at late hours, she would sob alone.

How could he let someone like her accompany those big bosses for drinks?

As soon as night fell, Mason lit her favorite scented candles in the villa and took out a bottle of melatonin, asking her, "Do you want to take one?" Josephine was about to say it wasn't necessary, but after a brief hesitation, she took one.

In the Crestwood apartment suite, Nadine was cuddling with Zayn while watching a movie, but Zayn's attention was clearly elsewhere.

In just a few minutes, he had checked his phone 20 times.

Nadine's attention was also drifting from the movie. She squinted slightly, her anger rising in her throat, but she didn't dare to act on it.

Now was not the time for her to act out.

"Honey." She suddenly turned around, wrapping her arms around Zayn's neck and nuzzling against him.

"Mm? What's up, babe?" Zayn responded absentmindedly, his eyes still fixated on Josephine's chat window. He repeatedly checked her profiles and socials.

She did not reply to his messages nor did she post anything.

This made him anxious, and he even felt nervous for some reason.

It had been a long time since she last threw such a big tantrum.

The last time was when she found out he lost 70 million was when he gambled overseas.
