Chapter 649
Layla fell silent, her face paling. After a moment, she calmly said, “Let’s finalize the property division. I’m ready whenever.” With that, she retreated upstairs with an icy expression.
Duke slumped onto the sofa, hands covering his face as tears fell silently.
In a villa embraced by maple trees, Nathan and Mila knocked gently on the door.
A maid opened it, greeting them warmly, “Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, good afternoon.”
Acknowledging with nods, they stepped inside. Daniel was in the midst of a workout on the treadmill.
As they neared the gym, Mila greeted, “Hey, Daniel.”
Pausing the machine, Daniel turned. “Chubs?”
With a smile, Mila responded, “Yes, it’s me.”
As Daniel moved toward Mila, Nathan intervened, extending his hand. When their hands met, Daniel chuckled softly, “Nate, you’re here too?”
Nathan quipped, “You can tell by my hands?”
With a smirk, Daniel replied, “Every time Chubs visits, she always grabs my hand. But you, you keep me from touching your wife, seeing me as a competition.” Mila barely contained her laughter.
Feeling a tad awkward, Nathan guided Daniel toward the exit. “I don’t see it that way.”
Daniel retorted, “You used to.”
Sighing, Nathan shifted the topic, “How have you been?”
With a mischievous grin, Daniel replied, “Nice try to change the topic.”
Settling down on the couch, the playful banter continued. “Didn’t Chubs favor me over you when we were kids? You’ve held onto that grudge for years, even seeing me as
a rival.”
“Had lunch yet?” Nathan tried to divert, feeling a bit embarrassed about dwelling on the past.
Not letting him off easily, Daniel teased, “Right, Chubs?”
Mila suppressed her smile. “Yeah.”
Seeing Milà siding with Daniel,
Nathan’s face darkened. He tried to
regain the upper hand and
questioned, “Chubs, I heard Sienna’s
wedding date is set. Did you get an invite?”

At this, Daniel’s face paled, his tension palpable.
Mila had to stifle a laugh. These two grown men were just like children.
“No,” Mila quickly clarified, not wanting to upset Daniel. “Where did you hear that?”
With a hearty laugh, Nathan said, “Must’ve been mistaken.”
Daniel
Sghed in relief, his demeanor
softening. He smiled wryly, “Her getting married is just a matter of time. I’ll have to face it eventually.”
