Even if Natalie was gone, Mr. Adams would probably carry her memory forever. That kind of thing isn’t easy to let go of.
“Isabella is my wife!” Ethan snapped at Nana.
Nana barely blinked. Honestly, nobody at the company was scared of Mr. Adams. Out in the world, people scrambled to please him, but here at the office, he was just another guy. When Isabella ignored him, he didn’t even dare speak up. He’d just stand there looking helpless and forlorn.
“Mr. Adams, you and Isabella are already divorced. Did you forget?” Nana fired back, her voice calm. “She’s your ex-wife now, not your wife. Maybe you should watch how you talk. Isabella is still young. She’s going to move on with her life.”
Ethan’s eyes flashed. “She won’t dare marry anyone but me. Let her try.”
Nana shook her head. “And you better not try to hurt her again, Mr. Adams. I might not have seen everything myself, but I’ve heard plenty. You tricked Isabella into marrying you, then kept hurting her over Natalie. Remember when you threw her out just because she refused to apologize to Natalie?”
“Did it ever cross your mind how it must have felt for her, being tossed out by her own husband for someone else?”
She looked him right in the eye. “People don’t turn cold overnight. It was your constant neglect and all those little wounds that finally froze Isabella’s heart.”
“Since you’re divorced, why not just let things end peacefully? Go live your life and let Isabella live hers. Don’t get in each other’s way. That way, everyone can move on.”
At least then, Nana thought, she wouldn’t have to deal with him every single day. Being a secretary was hard enough as it was.
“Mr. Adams, please,” she said, holding out her hand toward the door.
