Divorce Time

Chapter 275

Stewart rubbed his aching temples, his eyes barely open. “I knew it! You haven’t slept either, have you?”

“I’m heading down for some breakfast. How about we catch up afterward?” Charlene suggested.

Even though Stewart’s eyes felt gritty and sore, he couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice. “Absolutely! We’ve got to talk!”

Charlene had almost forgotten about this whole thing. Her mind was elsewhere these days.

“Thanks, Mr. Padgett. If you could handle that, it’d be great,” she replied.
