Chasing His Runaway Wife by Jamie Stones

Chapter 77

Emmanuel didn’t want to mention a word about a demon like his father.

But Tabitha now seemed a little curious about him, and he didn’t mind uncovering the torments he had gone through to gain sympathy from Tabitha.

Tabitha surmised that Emmanuel might be looking for someone to talk to. “You mentioned those people were your father’s creditors? What exactly is going on?”

Emmanuel looked down at his missing pinky and said, “Then John

At that time, Emmanuel was overwhelmed with pain, and he fainted on
