Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife

"I already promised to help with Mom. So you don't have to do all of this for me" Nina told him coldly.

Theo looked at her with a strange look in his eyes. It's as if he is looking at her properly for the first time even though they have known each other for one and half years now.

"I am planning to tell my Mom about our divorce" he spoke calmly, with a straight face.

No one is around the couple, so they are relatively alone.

Nina is surprised to hear this from him. He was the one who asked her for her help. Now she is not understanding why he suddenly changed his mind.

'If he was planning to tell Mom about our divorce, then why did he stand up for me just now' she thought to herself.

"I don't have any doubts that you might not be able to handle Chelsea on your own. I just felt the need to protect you. I failed as a husband when we were together. I don't want to fail as a human being either. I wronged you so many times in the past. I never gave you a chance to explain. I blindly believed everyone but you. I deeply regret that now. Mom told me that it's not you who pushed her down the stairs. But I kept blaming you for something you never did. I never cared about your feelings. I don't have the habit of apologising to anyone, Nina. But in your case, I know I am wrong. I hope you might be able to forgive me one day and we could maintain a cordial relationship here after. All the best for your future. Enjoy the banquet" he spoke calmly and even placed his hand on her shoulder before departing.

Nina was stunned for the tenth time today. Looks like he decided to kill her with a heart attack today.

She couldn't take her eyes off his retreating back. He greeted the people he knows and picked up a drink from a passing waiter.

'What just happened?' she wondered.

Theo has very high self esteem and he is a proud man. She never saw him apologising to anyone before, and never heard about it either. The fact that he is doing it now is speaking volumes. He meant what he said. "Nina, what happened? What did that handsome husband of yours say?" Ella asked eagerly.

Nina averted her gaze from Theo and looked at Ella who offered her a drink.

"He apologized" Nina shared.

Ella just took a sip from her glass when Nina shared that detail. Ella choked on her drink and coughed with shock. She wiped her mouth with a napkin. Her eyes are wide with surprise.

"Really? Wow" Ella replied. She gave Nina an expectant look, as if waiting for her to say more. When Nina didn't elaborate, Ella probed for more.

"Well, if that handsome man is feeling sorry, I think you might be willing to not file your divorce in the Civil affairs bureau. Right?" she asked hopefully. Nina took a big gulp of her drink with a sad smile.

"Ella, he is indeed feeling sorry about his behaviour back then. But, I could only see regret in his eyes. There is no love there. He is a great businessman and a very good son He is a very loyal friend too. But Ella, he is not a good husband, especially for me. A marriage without love is no less than hell. So no, I am not I planning to change my mind. I will just close that chapter of my life with a good note. Just like he said, we might even greet each other cordially in the future" she shared what she is feeling.

Ella felt bad for Nina. All of her excitement evaporated at once.

"Well, let's go and mingle then. You still have your outstanding career to focus on" Ella cheered Nina up.

For the rest of the evening, they did just that. Ella proudly introduced Nina as the new perfumer, Shareholder and director of 'The Fragrance'.

Everyone was surprised to hear this

piece of news. As the evening

started to flash in a blur of

introductions, surprises and

appreciations, this piece of new)

reached the ears of Mr. Dankworth

and William Davis.

Francis was speaking with Theo and a few esteemed members of the elite society when someone mentioned about the new perfumer of 'The Fragrance'.

"What? Nina Morrison is the mysterious perfumer?" Francis asked in a tone which showed his surprise.

Theo smiled proudly.

"Yes, she is" he confirmed.

Francis is surprised and so is William, Nina's father.

'If Nina is the new perfumer, then it would be easy to lure her to come and join the MD group' Francis thought.

William on the other hand saw the dollar signs flashing in his eyes.

'If she is the new perfumer, then she is rich and famous. I guess I can ask her to join my new start up to give it a boost. I can ask her to even invest a sum of money into my company' he thought. Right on cue, they found Nina chatting with a group of people with a smile on her face.

"Nina" William called her over, so that he can force her to join his company right in front of Theo, so that she wouldn't be able to refuse his request as she strives to impress Theo.

Nina looked at his father, who

looked quite happy. She found that something is off. But still she excused from the people whom she is speaking with and joined Theo's group Incidentally people moved a little to make place for her. She ended up standing beside Theo.

"Nina, why didn't you tell me that you are the new perfumer?" William didn't waste any time to bring up the topic which he is interested in.
