Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife

Pretend



"Nina? What happened to you? Why is your arm bandaged?" Agatha asked worriedly.

Nina gave her a sad smile. Out of everyone whom she thought were her family, none of them bothered about her injuries. Theo ignored her injuries thinking that she was faking them. Her father was more worried about what he could gain from her rather than her well being. But Agatha, Whom Nina met her by chance became a mother to her. She is genuinely worried about her. 'Sad that I might not be able to meet her often after my divorce with Theo' she thought sadly.

"It's nothing mom, just a few scraps. I am fine now" Nina down played it.

Theo on the other hand felt a hint of guilt. Neel inquired about the extent of Nina's injuries and found out that she was in a coma for three days and her condition was deemed critical until the day she woke up. He is feeling bad for abandoning her like that, especially after the clarity given by his mother.

'If it's not Nina who pushed mom down the stairs? Then why did her family blame her for something she didn't do? Her stepmother and brother were the first who claimed that they saw the whole thing unfold. I need to find out more about this soon' he decided. Agatha looked at Theo and Nina together with love.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I missed watching you together like this. This image never makes me tired of watching" Agatha mused loudly with love for them.

Nina who was already stiff standing beside Theo became even more stiffer when she heard this. Guilt ate away at her gut. While Theo is tensed. He knows that his mother would not take it easy if she finds out that he wanted to divorce Nina. So he decided to hide it for a while. "Mrs. Morrison" just then Chelsea walked in with a bright smile playing on her lips until she noticed Nina and Theo standing together. Her smile threatened to drop, but she held it.

Nina tried to move away from Theo when she heard the nerve grating voice of Chelsea. Her husband's ex never directly confronted her or anything like that. It must be the fact that she is shamelessly clinging to Theo even when he was married to someone else made Nina dislike her.

When Theo noticed what Nina is doing, he placed his hand around her waist to make her stay put. This move took Nina by surprise, while Chelsea burned with jealousy.

"Chelsea?" Agatha smiled at her. She is not as fond of Chelsea as she is with Nina, but still she likes the Dankworth girl because she is Theo's best friend from childhood. And moreover, both the family's are close.

Chelsea forced her attention away from Theo's arm towards Agatha. She walked inside the hospital room and intentionally stood closer to Theo than nessasary. Both Agatha and Nina noticed it.

"Mom, I will be back in a minute" Nina excused herself and left. She doesn't want to be the third wheel between Theo and Chelsea who are going to get married soon. After all, Theo divorced her for this woman alone. Agatha noticed the tension between Nina and Theo the moment Chelsea arrived.

'Looks like Chelsea did not give up on her dreams to marry my Theo' she understood with displeasure.

"Chelsea, I know you are my son's best friend. But don't you think you should maintain a semblance of dignity and not stand too close to my son? Especially when his wife is with him. Do you want Nina to misunderstand your relationship? Didn't your parents teach you this much?" Agatha is not someone who mince her words. So she spoke firmly what she felt.

After his mother pointed that out, Theo moved away from Chelsea and gave her an impatient look.

"How many times did I already told you to behave yourself? I think you should leave now" Theo scolded Chelsea impatiently. He doesn't want anyone or anything to cause stress to his mother.

Chelsea was stunned by his not so gentle words. But she hid her feelings and tried to explain to him. This is the reason why she tried to kill Agatha. If someone could change his mind, then it's his mother. 'Old bi*ch, I will deal with you later' she thought to herself angrily.

"Theo, I just did not think that Nina would be hurt by that. I just stood normally. I shouldn't have come here in the first place. I know Nina doesn't like me. I shouldn't have upset her like this" she explained. Theo relaxed, while Agatha didn't buy her explanation at all.

"Well, if my daughter in law doesn't like you, then she is correct in her place. It's you who is crossing a line. My Nina just walked out without causing any trouble for you. If it were me, I would scratched your face and disfigured you long ago" Agatha spoke not so gently, but at the same her words are not harsh either. She spoke as if she is telling a matter of fact.

Theo frowned. He didn't know that Nina might be jealous of Chelsea.

'No wonder Nina never liked Chelsea ' he thought to himself as his mood started to soar even more.

Chelsea is stunned by Agatha's words. She looked at Theo who seems to be lost in his thoughts.

"Now you can leave" Agatha spoke, borderline insulting Chelsea.

And Theo did not speak anything to defend Chelsea either.

Chelsea is so angry that she left with angry long strides.

Outside the room, Chelsea saw Nina who was sitting in an empty chair. She decided to stir trouble and cause a scene to make Theo pity her and scold Nina.

"Well, hello Nina. How are you?" Chelsea drawled with a mockery.

Nina calmly looked up at Chelsea with a black stare.

"Now why do I feel like you truly doesn't care about my wellbeing? What do you want?" Nina asked calmly.
