Chapter 20 You Jinxed Them

Desmond took one look at Elyse and immediately erupted in laughter. "How did you manage to find such a stunning wife? Did you hire her?"

He quickly shifted topics. "Has Joanna Foster returned yet? Are you planning to marry her once she's back? It's understandable that she disappeared on your wedding day, especially since you're cripple now. No girl would willingly marry you."
