Mr. Graham's Relentless Pursuit of His Ex-Wife Chapter 30
Listening to Richard's distorted version of events, Helen turned pale with anger and hurt."You're lying! You deliberately tried to hurt Nicole!"Caught red-handed, Richard ground his teeth, his eyes almost shooting flames of rage."You wretched woman, you're trying to destroy me! Just you wait!"Experienced with countless cases, the police officer quickly understood the situation.He handcuffed Richard's feet and pushed him against the wall. "Hands up, face the wall!"Richard was cunning. He knew better than to resist the police, as it would harm his future prospects.So he complied with everything, simultaneously explaining that he had only accidentally injured Nicole, absolutely not intentionally harming her.The police asked him to calm down, then turned to Nicole to confirm Richard's story.Nicole spoke firmly, "Officer, my mother can testify that Richard not only tried to harm me but wanted to kill us both. I urge you to press charges. If you don't, I'll pursue legal act

Nicole, who had been on the phone with her eyes tightly shut from exhaustion, suddenly opened them when she heard Travis's words.She took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh, trying to calm her wildly fluctuating emotions from today. She didn't want him causing her any more emotional ups and downs.After collecting herself, she glanced at her phone. "I'll be at your place in an hour."When the words "your place" reached Travis's ears, his heart tightened unexpectedly. His knuckles turned whiter as he gripped the phone.After a long silence, he deliberately spoke in a harsh tone: "Hurry up, and don't waste my time."Nicole simply replied "Fine," then hung up and instructed the driver to change their destination.The car made a turn and drove for half an hour before entering the wealthy district of the city. Tall tropical rainforest vegetation lined the spacious roads.Skyscrapers reached into the crimson-tinted sky at sunset, looking majestic and solemn, as if the people livi

"Yes, Mr. Graham,” Nicole replied coolly, deliberately keeping her distance as she passed Travis before climbing the stairs.Her high heels clicked against the marble floors, each sound like a hammer striking Travis's heart, making his chest tighten.The woman simply brushed past him, no longer holding his hand, clinging to him, or trying to please him like she used to.The panic rising in Travis felt like a flood breaking through a dam, threatening to drown him in an instant. He turned and quickly followed her.Upstairs in the third-floor closet, Nicole was taking out the dresses William had given her and placing them on the nearby sofa. With her left hand still bandaged, she couldn't fold the clothes properly and had to pile them together messily.After carefully checking the closet to make sure she hadn't missed anything from William, Nicole slowly pulled the sliding door closed."Take this evening gown too!" Travis's angry voice came from behind her.The closet door was yank

The footsteps grew louder, and soon a tall man strode into the room.“Nicole, are these the things?" Alexander asked, one hand in his pocket, the other pointing at the small mountain of clothes and shoes piled on the sofa."Yes, everything's there. Will your car be able to fit it all?" Nicole worried her belongings might be too much for Alexander's car.Alexander smiled gently, his voice remarkably pleasant. "Of course! This little bit will easily fit in the trunk."Nicole sighed with relief. "That's good."Alexander then noticed Nicole's bandaged arm. Frowning, he quickly approached her and carefully examined her wound, saying anxiously, "I'll take you to the hospital right after this to get this checked and rebandaged.""This was already treated at the hospital. It's fine—I'm a doctor myself. I can take care of it when I get home.""No way. It'll be too difficult for you to handle it yourself. I'll help you later!"Listening to Alexander and Nicole's conversation as if he wer

"You son of a b*tch!”Alexander raised his foot to kick Travis again, but the woman in his arms said, "Please put me down.""You're not feeling well. Don't move around," Alexander said, concerned as he looked at Nicole's pale face."It's okay, I can manage." Nicole was already struggling to get down from Alexander's arms.Alexander reluctantly and carefully lowered her to the ground.As soon as her feet touched the floor, Nicole's legs felt weak. She turned and asked Alexander to support her.Alexander nodded, his right hand politely and carefully holding Nicole's uninjured arm.Watching Nicole slowly walk toward him, Travis removed his hand from his stomach and gradually straightened up."See? I told you. All I have to do is beckon her, and she'll come crawling back."Travis looked smugly at Alexander, his eyes full of arrogance and conceit.Alexander clenched his jaw without speaking, carefully supporting Nicole until they reached Travis.Nicole signaled for Alexander to l

The sound of a car engine starting came from the parking lot downstairs.Travis struggled to his feet and staggered to the third-floor window. He watched as the imposing G-Wagon roared away from the estate, his body sliding down the wall until he hit the floor.The room was nearly empty now, almost all of Nicole's things gone.Travis went to the second bedroom and looked at the barren space, feeling like something was missing."Young master, are you unwell? Should I call a doctor?" A servant approached with concern, seeing his frighteningly pale face.Travis said nothing, just clutching his kicked stomach as he returned to his room and lay down on the bed."Find out when Nicole and Alexander got together," he texted."Well, well, did the sun rise from the west today? Why the sudden interest in your wife?” Nelson Larkin couldn't help teasing.The Larkin family was also among the city's elite, so Nelson had known Travis since they were toddlers.Their similar backgrounds quickly

Alexander frowned as he looked at the empty hallway.Both he and Nicole had heard the knocking—it couldn't have been their imagination.Back inside, Alexander tentatively asked Nicole if she had ordered anything online recently.Nicole said no, explaining that everything in the house came from the supermarket.After thinking for a moment, Alexander didn't want Nicole to worry, so he reassured her, "Someone probably knocked on the wrong door, realized their mistake, and ran off."Exhausted from the long day, Nicole just gave a soft "Mm" before drifting off to sleep.Alexander watched her sleeping face, tucked her in, and went to the balcony to make a phone call."I need you to investigate something..."Two days later, Nelson strolled into the office and tossed an envelope full of photos onto Travis's desk.Travis looked up from his pile of documents, raising an eyebrow. "I just want to hear the results."Nelson pulled up a chair and sat down casually, nodding toward the envelo

"What do you want Nicole's address for?" Nelson frowned. "Don't tell me you're going to find her? Weren't you desperate for her to leave you? Why chase after her now? Aren't you just making things harder for yourself?"Facing Nelson's rapid-fire questions, Travis's handsome face had turned impossibly dark."Send the address to me. Now!""All right, all right, sending it right away."Nelson had been afraid of Travis's anger since childhood—when this guy got mad, he looked like he could eat someone alive.After sending Travis the address, Nelson stood up to leave.But from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a certain man's lips curling into a slight smile as he looked at the address on screen.A sense of foreboding flashed through Nelson's mind. "Travis, Nicole was with you for so many years. Did you really never feel anything for her?"Travis slammed his phone on the desk. "Of course not!""Fine. Just don't lie to yourself." Nelson shrugged and strode out.At that m

Nicole thought she must have misheard him.Or perhaps she was dreaming.So when Travis said, "Nicole, settle down. Stay here. Let's live well together," she couldn't help but laugh coldly."Travis, do you even know what you're saying?""Just behave and I won't make things difficult for you." Travis clenched his fist."We're divorced. Saying these things now is meaningless." Nicole turned her head away, refusing to look at him."But isn't this how we've lived for all these years?"Nicole tilted her head back and laughed, her eyes reddening.Had this man forgotten how he had hurt her?"Fine. Untie me first, and we'll discuss this further." Nicole offered Travis a rare smile.Travis was taken aback by Nicole's sudden smile, but the darkness in his expression lightened considerably."Promise me you won't run away again." Travis sat on the floor, gradually moving closer to Nicole's side.His black shirt was half-open, revealing toned muscles.Nicole still wouldn't look at him,

Once Travis realized how important Nicole was to him, he would surely treat her well.But that process would be painful.Nicole would have to suffer a bit.James wasn't sure if Nicole could wait for that day to come."James, you know exactly what my relationship with your boss has been like all these years. What's the point of going back? To endure more of his insults?""Mrs. Graham, perhaps things aren't as bad as you think." James naturally sided with Travis.The reason was simple: Travis was his meal ticket.Besides, having worked for Travis for so many years, James believed his boss wasn't truly a bad person."Stop calling me Mrs. Graham. How many times do I have to tell you?" Nicole got a headache just hearing that title."Yes, Mrs. Graham. I'll be more careful in the future. Will you come back with me now?" James bowed respectfully to Nicole.Nicole shook her head with a bitter smile."James, do you not understand what I'm saying?""Mrs. Graham, you can't beat these t

"I know what game you're playing," Nicole said quietly.She lightly raised her foot to kick away Lucy's hand, then calmly brought the basin of hot water to Travis.Seeing Nicole easily dodge her attempt, Lucy's smile momentarily froze."Where's your washcloth?" Nicole glanced at Lucy, a slight curve to her lips, then turned toward Travis.Travis pointed to the wardrobe across from his hospital bed. "In there.""Hmm." Nicole turned and opened the wardrobe, immediately spotting the small white square cloth on top.As she was about to close the wardrobe door, she heard the sudden sound of a basin crashing to the floor behind her.This was followed by Lucy's scream."Ah! It's burning hot!"Nicole quickly turned around to see the hot water she'd carefully brought now spilled all over the floor.Lucy was soaked, moaning as she clutched her reddened arm."Nicole, did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately place the basin precariously?" Travis's accusation immediately followed

"How am I supposed to drink this soup? It's scalding hot!"Travis discovered his hand firmly trapped in Nicole's grip, his handsome face darkening like the bottom of a pan.When he tried to use brute force to break free, he realized that the normally soft and gentle Nicole now possessed astonishing strength.The cold-faced Nicole before him seemed completely unfamiliar.She hardly resembled the woman he had so easily pushed around before."Mr. Graham, if the soup is too hot, you can drink it slowly. But isn't it time to break this bad habit of knocking over dishes whenever you're upset?""You used to blow on it to cool it down before feeding me. Why can't you do that now?" Travis was accustomed to Nicole's meticulous care.But the current Nicole treated him with less warmth than his household staff.Her cold, aloof attitude infuriated Travis."Mr. Graham, I suggest you wake your mind up. We're divorced. I'm no longer your wife. How could I possibly treat you like before?"Nic

Ben spoke with such sincerity that Nicole felt she would be letting him down if she refused."No problem."Nicole had heard that Ben was wealthy, but she didn't know the extent of his wealth.It wasn't until she saw the sprawling lawn, European-style villa, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and basketball court on Ben's phone that her perception of him was completely refreshed."If you have no objections, let's sign a contract."Ben pulled out a briefcase from behind him and extracted three copies of an employment contract.Nicole finally realized something was off."Professor Wallace, you came prepared tonight?"Ben made no attempt to hide his intentions. "Yes. Calvin really likes you. He keeps talking about the pretty Professor Spencer... What can I say? The things we do as parents."After quickly reviewing the contract and finding no issues, Nicole signed it.Even after showing Ben out of her apartment, Nicole still found the situation unbelievable.Was she now working

"I'd appreciate fewer jokes like that. I don't want the whole school filled with rumors about us."Recently, due to the surgery and other matters, Nicole and Ben had been spending more time together, which had already sparked gossip that they were dating.Nicole had to repeatedly explain, "Don't misunderstand—Professor Wallace and I have a purely professional relationship!""Professor Spencer, no need to explain. You're both single—there's nothing wrong if you've fallen in love," her colleagues would tease.Only Richard would grimly say, "Professor Spencer, Professor Wallace's family situation is complicated. You'd be better off with someone whose background is simpler and cleaner."As for why he described Ben's background as complicated, Richard didn't dare elaborate. Ben had happened to walk by at that moment and shot him a warning glance."So, Professor Spencer, are you suggesting we should maintain a proper distance?" Ben asked, his eyes fixed intently on Nicole's."Yes." Ni

"Professor Wallace, you're quite the smooth talker. I imagine you're good at winning over the ladies."After years of being insulted and belittled by Travis, being complimented by another man felt strange to Nicole. She even felt herself getting warm.She stood up, gathering the empty dishes, and turned toward the kitchen.From behind her came the man's deep, magnetic voice."Professor Spencer, I'm not good at winning women over. I'm good at keeping them at a distance."Nicole paused. "Those women must be quite heartbroken then!"With that, she hurried into the kitchen.She turned on the faucet, cool water running over her skin.Her rational mind gradually cleared.Nicole, men love to sweet-talk, don't let yourself be fooled by their words.She reminded herself of this as she washed the dishes."Washing dishes this way wastes water. Let me do it."Ben, having finished his meal, walked into the kitchen and noticed Nicole staring absent-mindedly at the running water."Sorry,

Nicole was exhausted.After returning to her dorm and quickly freshening up, she slept from 2 PM straight through until 6 PM.She hurriedly ordered ingredients from a delivery app, then tidied up her apartment.After spending half an hour washing and chopping vegetables, she realized it was already seven o'clock.Ben knocked on her door right on time."Professor Spencer, is dinner ready?" he asked, walking in with drinks in hand.Nicole glanced at her cold stove and pots, and cleared her throat."I woke up late, so I've just finished prepping the ingredients. I'll be done quickly, Professor Wallace. Please make yourself comfortable on the couch.""Need any help?""No need. I can manage.""Okay then. I'll take you up on that."Though he said he wouldn't impose, Ben did exactly that—settling onto the couch and casually picking up a medical journal to read.When Nicole finally called him to the table, he returned the book to the shelf, washed his hands, and helped arrange the

Lucy's question was like a hand reaching for the delicate veil covering Travis's thoughts, nearly exposing his true feelings.Travis gently touched his bandaged head and immediately denied it. "Lucy, what are you saying? How could I ever like that woman? She's the one who caused your condition."Lucy wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice choked with emotion. "Travis, I know I'm disabled now and no longer worthy of you. I would bless your relationship with anyone—anyone except Nicole!""I understand. Don't worry, I won't fall for her. I just don't want her to have it easy.""Would you swear to it?"Travis fell silent.As a man approaching 30, he certainly knew how childish and hollow such oaths were.But if it would give Lucy some peace of mind, saying a few more words didn't matter.He raised his right hand toward the ceiling, his handsome face solemn and serious."Lucy, I swear on my life that I will never develop feelings for Nicole. If I ever like Nicole, may
