Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Abner took a moment to think and immediately knew who was behind the rumors.

He simply thanked the classmate who brought him the news and went back to focusing on his exam.

Most of his classmates liked him - who wouldn't appreciate a hardworking, good-looking guy? But his arrival did steal the limelight from some, so naturally, there were those who resented him. Now, with his family's situation becoming gossip fodder, the whispers began.

"Sure, the school does accept transfer students, but didn't the principal reject one before? Why's Abner any different? Is it because they feel sorry for him?"

"His dad's a rapist, and his mom's no saint either. You know what they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Two guys were gossiping when a girl nearby couldn't contain her anger anymore.

Others started to chime in, leaving the two gossips red-faced, and an argument broke out.
