After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

A wave of shame hit me, and I instinctively wrapped myself tighter in his suit jacket.

The two guys clearly had no idea who Edward was. When he stepped up to meddle in their business, Richie Wallace didn’t hold back–he jabbed a finger at Edward and said, “Hey, man-”

Edward moved fast and hard. Richie’s face puffed up like a balloon in seconds. He grabbed his cheek, swearing up a storm, and looked ready to throw down.

Richie’s face turned beet red as he cursed up a storm, but the bodyguards dragged him into a private room nearby.
