Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 271

Chapter 271

Audrey’s POV

calling.

“Hello?” My voice was rough with sleep.

The phone was blaring and Laurel was screeching like a banshee… how is he still asleep?

The phone started ringing again. Laurel’s name lit up the screen. After a moment’s hesitation, I nudged Blake’s shoulder.
