When Love Breaks (Josephine) novel Chapter 259

He gently pulled her into his arms. "You don't need to pity me or overthink things. Every effort I've made toward my goal has been fulfilling and reassuring."

He had already said all the right things, leaving Josephine speechless. She just felt lost.

Could she really trust him? Could she truly step out of a failed marriage and immediately accept another man's love?

Was this a rational decision, or was she making another mistake?

Meanwhile, outside, it took everything George and the gardeners had to finally drive Zayn away.

Zayn returned to the hotel. As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Nadine sitting on the couch, filing her nails.

"Zayn, you're back!" Nadine immediately went up to him, only for Zayn to shove her aside.

She stumbled back, nearly falling. Irritation flashed in her eyes, but for the sake of her future, she swallowed her anger.

"What's with you? Something pissed you off out there, so you come back to take it out on me?"

Zayn tugged at his tie, gritting his teeth. "Pissed off? If it weren't for you, would I be in this mess?"

Nadine couldn't stand his harsh tone anymore. She snapped, "What mess? I did everything you asked me to! I helped you transfer the funds and made sure every account was wiped clean. What more do you want from me?

Zayn clenched his jaw. "That's exactly what you were supposed to do! You've gotten a lot of benefits from me. But why the hell did you have to mess with Josephine? Now she's set on divorcing me! Are you happy now?"

"Zayn, what are you saying? Why would you walk away from the money? That's not just a few million—it's a few hundred million!"

Even just a fraction of that money would be enough to let an average family live in luxury for generations. And he was throwing it all away.

Zayn's face was ruthless. "I said I don't want it, and I mean it. If you want it so badly, go fight for it yourself. But let me make one thing clear. The child you're carrying? I'll never acknowledge it as mine."

"Zayn! That's your child! Are you insane?" Nadine said, stunned.

Zayn let out a sharp laugh, suddenly shoving her away. Then, his face darkened as he said, "I should've figured it out sooner. I was a fool for throwing away my marriage for a mere few hundred million!

"Nadine, you're still living in delusion. Let me spell it out for you. That child in your belly was never mine to begin with."
