Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 103

Stepping out of the hotel, Effie couldn't help but release a sigh of relief.

Lyman glanced over at her, his voice gentle. "How are you holding up? Getting used to all this?"

Effie managed a small smile. "I'm fine, really."

He squeezed her hand, his tone warm. "You know, you never have to force yourself to attend these events if you don't want to.”

As far as Lyman was concerned, his wife only ever needed to be herself.

Effie shook her head. "It's alright. It's good to get out and experience new things every now and then."

He nodded. "Alright. Let's go."

Hand in hand, they walked away together.

Across the room, Suzan's eyes had never left Lyman. She watched, stunned, as he and Effie strolled off so intimately.
