Chapter 573 Acknowledgments
“Come on,” Wyatt said. “We’re adults. Who doesn’t have a couple of past rtionships? You were <b>engaged </b>to Paul for ten years–I never held that against you. So why can’t you let go of mine? Is that fair<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Yunice replied, “But Nora was willing to die for you.”
And she had actually done it.
Wyatt answered, “I owe her. I can repay that debt. But just because she saved me doesn’t mean I have to repay her with love.”
“She and I broke up before her ident. I feel responsible for her–but I don’t love her.”
Yunice blinked, stunned. Wyatt rarely spoke so directly about his rtionship with Nora.
If they had already broken up before Nora’s ident, then Yunice wasn’t a homewrecker after all.
That lifted a weight from her chest–but she still didn’tpletely trust his words.

The next day, Wyatt asked Yunice toe to the office with him.
“I’m not going,” Yunice said. “I need to study. Finals areing up. If I don’t pass, I won’t get credit, and it’ll affect my graduation.”
Wyatt closed her book. “There’s room for you
at my
desk.”
Yunice frowned and stared him down.
Wyatt didn’t flinch. He looked right back at her.
She sighed. “What are you even trying to do now?”
“Build our rtionship,” he replied. “Look, I’m busy with work and social events all day. You’re always studying at home. We barely spend time together, and when we do, we’re always fighting. And you never text me during the day.”
“I want a real rtionship with you, not some act. Come to work with me.”
He pulled her to her feet, insistent.
From the second–floor railing, Elianna rested her chin in her hands, watching them leave. “So boring… Maybe I should find a man too?”
In the car, Wyatt strapped Yunice into the passenger seat and started the engine. “From now o you everywhere. Watch closely see if I ever go to meet Nora

“I…” Yunice was at a loss.
Sometimes Wyatt waspletely unpredictable–hard to read. Other times, he hit you head–<b>on </b><b>with </b><b>such </b>direct honesty, you didn’t know how to respond.

Yunice usually took the VIP elevator straight to Wyatt’s office. But today, he insisted on holding <b>her </b><b>hand </b>and parading her through the main office, right in front of the secretarial team.
To everyone who looked their way, he introduced her inly. “This is my wife.
Yunice quickly texted Laurie for help.
Within minutes, Laurie showed up with her white coat draped over her shoulders like a cape, walking <b>with </b>wide strides like a boss<b>. </b>
“Hey, Mr. Wyatt,” Lauric said, tapping his shoulder with the folder under her arm to get his attention. “Mind lending her to me for a bit? Jacky’s out today. I’m swamped.”
She was talking about Yunice, obviously.
Yunice gave Wyatt a hopeful look. Please let me go. Please don’t make me endure all this staring.
Wyatt nced at Laurie. “No.”
Laurie pressed on, “Her internship paperwork still needs my signature. She’s got onest practical to finish. You want her to fail and dy graduation?”
At the words “your wife,” Wyatt’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
Seizing the chance, Laurie grabbed Yunice by the wrist. “I’m taking her. If you want her back,e pick her up at theb.”
She turned decisively.
Yunice shot Wyatt onest look. He didn’t stop them.
Delighted, she quickly followed Laurie.
But just then, Laurie came to an abrupt halt.
Yunice followed her gaze–and froze in ce, as if struck by lightning.
Down the hallway, Maine was pushing a wheelchair.
In it sat Nora.
A thin nket was draped over her legs. She wore a white shirt dress. Her long ck hair hung neatly around her pale, delicate face.
From a distance, she looked eerily simr to Yunice–maybe 70% alike.

Laurie stared for a moment. When she realized who it was–her former colleague who’d <b>beer </b>for three years–her expression flickered, then quickly returned to normal. She tugged Yunicem.
“Come on.”

Wyatt hadn’t been paying attention–until he noticed Yunice wasn’t moving. Then he turned, smiling at
first.
But the moment he saw Nora getting closer, his smile faded. His face darkened, unreadable.
Nora stopped in front of them.
The wheelchair halted. Maine gave Yunice a disdainful re.
Nora offered a soft, gentle smile. “Hello, Mrs. Cooper.”
<i>Was </i><i>she </i><i>letting </i><i>go</i><i>? </i>
Yunice responded, “Hello.”
Nora continued, “Please don’t misunderstand. I’m only here to gather some personal things I left behind three years ago.”
Maine scoffed. “Nora used to work at Wellinges Pharma. She didn’t get a chance to clean out her stuff before the ident. Her department may be gone now, but her things should still be around.”
