Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Grandma had welcomed Lyman into the family, and Effie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once her grandmother learned they were already legally married, she urged Effie to move into Lyman's house as soon as possible.

Dowries and wedding ceremonies didn't matter much to her. All she cared about was that the two of them would be happy together.

Lyman had promised her that his family was easygoing and that she had nothing to worry about.
