Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 288:

In Daniels Manor, Connor spent the entire night brooding on the living room sofa in his exclusive building, refusing to go to bed even as early morning approached. Marissa had suggested they divorce again so she could better care for Tiffany’s two children. Her apparent lack of attachment to him had left him seething with anger.

He had openly expressed his pursuit of her, yet she had dismissed him so readily. To her, Tiffany, her twin sister whom she had never met, seemed to matter more than her own husband, with whom she had shared a room for so long. What had he done wrong? Why didn’t she value him?

They were very familiar with the sound—it was Marissa’s motorcycle. Could Marissa be visiting Mr. Daniels at this late hour? No, it was impossible.
