After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#114 “Falling for His Games, Again?”

In the moonlit garden, Sophia leaned against the cool marble railing, a sigh escaping her lips. The night was serene, but the turmoil within her refused to mirror the tranquility of the surroundings.

“Sophia, what are you doing? Falling for his games, again?” she muttered to herself, frustration lacing her voice. ” He’s playing the part, acting like he doesn’t care, and I’m letting it get under my skin. It’s infuriating!”
