Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 887

Edgar looked like a man who had been utterly crushed. It was as if every bit of spirit had been drained from him.

He was pathetic, through and through.

Nina pulled her gaze back and covered the little girl’s eyes.

“Mr. Bowman, I’m Nina Brogdon. This is your biological granddaughter.”

Nina was thin and delicate, with a soft temper, but her voice was low and steady when she said it.

She knew exactly what she wanted. There was no hesitation left.

Right now, she needed to appear in front of the Bowmans.

She needed them to know who she was.

...

James had told her ahead of time that he was coming to pick her up, so Halle wasn’t surprised when she saw him.

The emotional upheaval had been too much. She still needed to process it, and even after getting into the car, she stayed quiet.

She didn’t even notice when James leaned over and buckled her seat belt.

Only after the car had been moving for a while did she realize they were already on the road.

James kept checking on her. “Feeling any better?”

Halle’s emotions were still tangled. A few tears slipped out before she could stop them.

James clicked his tongue. “Still crying over him?”

His tone was casual. Inside, the jealousy had gone sharp and sour.

If he had met Halle earlier, what chance would that idiot Edgar have ever had?

Halle ignored him.

She cried quietly for a while. Little by little, the weight seemed to leave with the tears.

Then, she started noticing the world again—the hum of the engine, the soft white noise beyond the window, James’s faint breathing beside her.

She looked around.

James’s car was spotless. A little alien figurine sat on the dashboard, and the cabin carried the fragrance he liked.

The scent lingered in the air, clean and pleasant.

Sound, sight, smell—piece by piece, they pulled Halle back to the present. She knew where she was now. She was with James, heading to dinner.

The thought alone made her feel lighter. Happy, even. A happiness that came from somewhere real and easy inside her.

Being around Edgar always trapped her in the same spinning vortex.

Being with James felt like stepping toward the future.

Like hope had opened in front of her.
