Book:Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart Published:2024-5-28

Claudia knew she couldn’t persuade Marina and left with some regret.
After seeing her go, Marina sat down and looked at the divorce agreement that Ryder gave her. The terms on it were very clear.
There were more than ten pages about money in the divorce agreement. Marina had no patience to read it and skipped to the end, the custody of Nicole. Nicole would be brought up by Marina and Ryder.
Marina felt surprised. She knew that was the best Ryder could do.
Marina waved her hand and signed the papers. Marina immediately called Ryder.
Marina was stunned when she heard the male voice on the phone.
“Ms. White, Mr. Langdon is in a meeting. He will fly abroad at night. He told me that you should wait for a few days. He also said that the lawyers of the Langdon family will not intervene. He disagrees with what the Langdon family said.”
Kenny had to say it and after saying that, he was waiting for Marina to scold him.
However, he didn’t expect that Marina would say calmly that she knew it and hang up the phone.
Marina looked at her watch and it was one o’clock in the afternoon. Felix sent her a message in the morning that he would pick up Noemi.
Recently, he had an international film that was catching the spotlight and was filming in the capital, so he had to leave Jin City for a long time.
Felix was worried about his son and wanted to pick him up with his assistant and send Noemi to the capital.
The doorbell rang.
Marina opened the door quickly.
At the door, Felix was wearing a suit and handed her a white gift box. He thanked her and took Noemi away without any explanation.
“Noemi!” Nicole cried.
Nicole followed out of the door and only saw the closed elevator door. She stood at the door and her eyes were red. She did not want to separate from Noemi.
“Mommy, Noemi left,” Nicole said.
Marina felt so sorry when she saw Nicole sobbing.
However, she was also pleased to see Nicole have the feeling like the other kids. Her company worked during this time.
“Nicole, Noemi should be with his daddy. For example, if Mommy sends Nicole away and Nicole cannot see Mommy anymore, will Nicole be sad?”
Marina tried to talk to Nicole. Noemi was Felix’s child and could not stay here for long.
“I don’t want to leave Mommy. I like Mommy!”
Nicole hugged Marina’s thigh tightly, afraid that her mommy would leave her if she let go.
“Why will Nicole leave Mommy? Mommy loves Nicole!” Marina said.
Marina rubbed her hair and held her on the sofa. They opened the white gift box together.
There were a lot of dolls inside, each of which was a limited edition. To avoid misunderstandings, Felix chose the toys for Nicole as gifts.
Nicole hugged one of the rabbits and she liked it so much.
“Mommy, will Daddy take me to the beach?” Nicole asked.
They snuggled up on the sofa, and Nicole suddenly asked.
“Your daddy is so busy. Shall Mommy take you to the beach?” Marina said.
Marina couldn’t answer this question for Ryder. After the divorce, they would go their separate ways. It was better to have few interactions.
Moreover, as a workaholic, perhaps Ryder had already forgotten Nicole.
Just now, Marina saw on TV that there was a ComicCon in City J in a few days, and she didn’t see ComicCon in the book. So Marina wanted to take a look at it.
“Then Mommy will take you to City J and find Noemi, okay?” Marina said.
Marina made up her mind and took Nicole to travel.
Nicole nodded. Being apart for just a short period from Noemi, she missed him so much.
Marina took Nicole to the private room of the restaurant for dinner. After waiting for a while, Shawn opened the door and entered.
Marina wanted to share the good news with Shawn that she had signed the paper, and when she saw the person next to Shawn, she immediately was not laughing.
“Nice to meet you, Miss White,” Maeve said.
Maeve sat next to Shawn, and Shawn had a genuine smile. Shawn did like her.
Marina was depressed. Recently, she was busy getting rid of the plot of the book and had forgotten Maeve.
“Shawn, I fainted last time and made you lose the project. I’m sorry.”
Marina sincerely apologized to Shawn and wanted to know more about the further news.
“Marina, how’s your health?” Shawn asked.
Shawn poured a glass of water for Maeve and waved his hand. “Your health is the most important thing. Besides, you don’t have to worry about the project. The other party has taken a fancy to the White Group and is willing to delay the process of signing the contract,” he said.
After Shawn finished speaking, he pointed at Maeve and said with a smile, “It is all thanks to Maeve.”
“Really?”
Marina lowered her eyes and said in a playful tone.
Maeve had means and it seemed that she had set her mind on screwing the White family and even wanted Shawn to be her backup.
“Oh, Shawn, are you dating Miss Aston?”
Marina ordered the dishes and asked. If she made things difficult for Maeve now, it would only make things difficult for Shawn. Therefore, she would not do this. Instead, she tried to be easy-going.
“Not yet. I’m still pursuing her.”
After Shawn finished speaking, he glanced at Maeve. Maeve immediately lowered her head shyly.
Such a stupid man! Even if Shawn had money, he was not worthy of her. She wanted Ryder, who was born the winner!
“Shawn, then you have to work hard. Miss Aston is so beautiful, she must have a lot of suitors,” Marina said.
If Shawn wasn’t dating Maeve, it meant that Maeve wanted Shawn to be her backup. She was not having enough of what she wanted.
Then about that project, even if she divorced Ryder, the White family still could not get rid of such a tragic result?
She remembered that the project was in City J. This time, when she took Nicole on a trip, she had to find evidence that the land was unsuitable for investment.
Marina was annoyed. She was not a businessman and it was difficult for her to find the evidence.
Now she had nobody to help her. She was alone and helpless.
Did she have any reasons to oppose the White Group investing in it? Or should she ask Ryder for help? That was even more unreliable!
Ryder was very suspicious. Once he was interested in it, he would delay the divorce indefinitely.
The meal was tasteless.
After dinner, Shawn wanted to send Maeve home, but Maeve refused.
“I’ll take a taxi back. Miss White just fainted a few days ago. You should send Miss White back.” Maeve said.
Maeve was general, and Shawn was even more satisfied. This was what he meant.
“Marina, why did you bring Nicole with you?” he asked.
The Langdon family had strict rules, so it was not easy to go out.
“Yes, Ryder was busy with projects recently, so I took Nicole out to relax,” she said.
Marina wanted to tell Shawn that she was going to divorce, but being afraid of Maeve, she decided to hide it from Shawn.
Anyway, Ryder was not a blabbermouth. Before they divorced, nobody else would know it.
