Billionaire's Match

Chapter 852

Michael would bow his head to his father, but never to Oscar's coercion.

Michael had no intention of returning to the Morrison family.

His divorce from Winnie was only so he could fulfill his duty at his father's bedside.

Nick spoke in a low voice, "So…you've only gone through the formalities?" Winnie nodded.

"Yes. This is the best solution I could come up with. We'll separate for now. Michael can go home and take care of his father more easily. As for what comes next...we'll take it one step at a time."

So it was a "divorce" in name, not in love. At that, the tension in everyone's brows eased. Khloe fell into thought, while Nick stood and poured himself another glass of water.

"In that case," he said, lifting his glass slightly, "this toast is to your courage now and the turning point ahead."

"Alright."

Michael immediately poured himself half a glass of wine and raised it with a smile.

Winnie picked up her glass again as well, lightly clinking it against his.

Khloe watched the way their gazes intertwined, the light in their eyes still burning, and at last, the weight in her chest settled.

Time passed quickly.
