A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 103:

Belinda had already closed her eyes, resigned to whatever Kristopher would do to her.

She had shed her illusions about him and was determined to divorce him.

However, unexpectedly, he ceased his advances shortly after they began.

Confused, she opened her eyes and met his gaze. “What’s wrong?”

“Miss Nelson, it appears you’ve been quite entertained by others lately,” Kristopher sneered, casting a pointed look at her collarbone. “Is it Darren or that student?”

His accusation deepened her confusion.
