Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 348

I pull myself out of the shower a ridiculously long time later, only really leaving because the water that was falling on my shoulders had grown colder and colder until I was shivering.

I’m supposed to leave. Kent gave me his answer to my ultimatum – I said I would go if he didn’t tell me, and he didn’t. So now…

I’m supposed to go.

But god damn it, where to?
