Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 641

Chapter 641: Life is truly full of surprises

[FLASHBACK]

"Oh." Finn’s steps slowed as his eyes landed on the figure seated at the long, white bar counter in the villa.

There, perched on a stool, was the beautiful Nina. Upon hearing his voice, Nina looked over her shoulder.

"Isn’t it a little too early for you to be drinking?" he mused with a smirk as he casually approached her, taking the stool one seat away, ensuring there was an empty chair between them.

Finn leaned against the counter, tilting his head slightly. His brows rose as he noticed that Nina seemed to have drunk quite a few glasses; it was only ten in the morning.

"If you’re looking for my husband, he’s not here." Nina didn’t cast him another glance as she poured herself another drink. "Something happened, and he had to go. Didn’t he tell you that?"

"I’m here, aren’t I?" He smiled. "Well, anyway, that’s a shame. Just tell him I came by."

Having said that, Finn casually pushed himself away from the stool while Nina continued drinking. Just as he took a step, he looked back at her with raised brows. Nina seemed to be ignoring him, drinking to wash down whatever she wanted to drown.

Finn was aware of Nina and her husband’s relationship. At least, he had an idea of the dynamic between them.

Nina was successful and came from a good family—even though she was adopted, she still had a solid reputation in the elite social circle. Her own achievements, her looks, and her reputation made her "acceptable" as a member of the Pierson Family. It was the same for her husband.

In the eyes of the public, they were a perfect couple. Although no one could stop others from saying Nina was lucky to marry into the Pierson Family, people envied her nonetheless. However, what others didn’t know was that Nina and Jonathan’s relationship was far from what one would expect.

’Well,’ Finn shrugged subtly. ’Not my business.’

He was about to leave when he noticed her arm as she chugged down her drink. There was a large bruise under her arm, as if she had used it to shield herself from something. Or perhaps she had braced herself for a bad fall.

But he knew at a glance it wasn’t the latter.

Looking up at her face, he saw her pouring herself another glass. "It’s still too early for you to drink so much," he said instead of leaving. "I’m just saying... as a family friend."

"A family friend?" she repeated, laughing quietly, though the mockery in her voice was evident. Nina slowly turned to face him, her eyes landing on his. "You’re not a family friend. You’re his friend, not mine."

"I never said you were family."

Nina arched a brow, turning on the stool to face him fully. "Excuse me?"
