A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 13:

Kristopher sat just ten feet away from Belinda, the distance seemingly magnified by the cool detachment on his face, as if they were in separate universes.

Belinda, gazing at his impassive expression, forced a smile. “Yes, I’ve made my decision,” she affirmed.

His words tightened a knot in Belinda’s heart.
