Chapter 11

Since leaving behind the pile of affairs at Nolan's company, my life has become increasingly carefree.

Before, for Nolan's sake, I had given up my own hobbies.

But now, I indulge myself in various jewelry designs every day, having the time of my life.

I even moved out of the Winters family home and rented a place of my own.

Nolan has called me repeatedly from different numbers.

I block each one as soon as I see it.

Until I received a call from Nolan's mother.

This was something I hadn't expected.

After all, our relationship wasn't exactly cordial, and she had never accepted my status.

She had even tried to set up Nolan with Serenity several times behind my back.

"Sloane......" she called my name with unusual warmth.

I frowned, feeling quite uncomfortable.

"What is it?"

She hesitated, as if what she was about to say was extremely difficult to voice.

"Nolan has had a high fever for days, and he keeps mumbling your name."

"Could you... come and see him?"
