After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#196 “The Ring for Evelyn.”

“What is she doing here? You said you were going to keep it a secret,” Kyle started, skipping the usual pleasantries and getting straight to the point.

“Because I wouldn’t ruin my best friend’s engagement party,” Sophia retorted, crossing her arms in defiance. “Plus, I already know, and I want to help.”

Kyle glanced at Alexander, silently debating whether to include Sophia. Eventually, he let out a resigned sigh and began explaining the plan to her. After hashing out the basic details and receiving input from both Sophia and Alexander, Kyle’s expression turned thoughtful.
