Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 221

I was drinking yogurt when I heard her last few words, and I choked hard.

"Who knows." I picked up my bag and opened the door.

Jane's imagination ran wild. "What if they're trying out something new?"

"What new thing?"

"Like a threesome?"

She was relentless with her shocking statement and proceeded with a detailed analysis. "Well, since the mother and daughter are sharing a husband now, what else could have made them reconcile so quickly?"

"A threesome??" My eyes widened in disbelief as I glanced at Jane. "That's impossible."
