Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 524

Devin reached out, letting his fingers trace the cold surface of the headstone, his head bowed slightly. “Conrad,” he murmured. “You were always so stubborn. If only you’d listened a little more. Would you still have ended up dying in some foreign place? What a waste. You chose the same doomed path as your father. Still, don’t worry. I’m your uncle, after all. I won’t let your wife or your unborn children suffer. Even when I have children of my own, I won’t turn my back on them. As for your mother and sister, I’ll do my best to take care of them. So, you can let go.”

He closed his eyes for a moment, then slid his sunglasses down, turning to look at Wiona. He didn’t say a word, but she could feel his stare, heavy and direct, right on her belly.

A shiver ran through Wiona, but she didn’t move. She met his eyes, refusing to back down.

Kyle stepped forward, placing himself between Wiona and Devin. He didn’t say anything either, just squared his shoulders and met Devin’s gaze. Even with the sunglasses blocking Devin’s eyes, Kyle felt a chill crawl up his spine. In that moment, he knew for sure—Devin Sullivan was dangerous, the kind of person you never wanted as an enemy.

Devin finally turned away, stepping back to face Conrad’s grave again. Only then did Kyle glance back at Wiona, his voice low so only she could hear. “After the funeral, you should come back to the Morgan family with us. I promise, no one’s going to make you do anything you don’t want to. This place isn’t safe. The Sullivan family is not somewhere you should stay.”

He stared at her stomach, his worry plain on his face. Since they’d talked things out, Kyle seemed more and more like the older brother Wiona remembered—protective, but without that old possessiveness. But Wiona wasn’t the little girl she used to be. She didn’t need anyone to shield her anymore.

“No, but thank you,” she said, her voice polite but distant. The words hit Kyle hard, sharp and painful.

“But…” He wanted to say more, but stopped himself, worried that pushing would only make things worse.

Devin pressed his hands together and closed his eyes. When he opened them, his expression was icy. “Annette, are we starting the service or not? We’ve wasted enough time. If we keep this up, Conrad won’t get any peace.”
