From Divorce To Dominance (Natalie Xavier)

Chapter 31

Darren finished speaking and locked eyes with Howard, who simply responded, "Oh."

"That's it? Natalie is the one he had criticized countless times! Is he too shocked to say anything else? Darren thought. Darren felt a bit sorry for Howard but pressed on.

"What? That's impossible! I'm her one and only ex-husband!" said Darren.

Howard maintained his indifferent tone. "Every guy who claims to be Nat's ex insists he's the only one."

Darren caught something important. "So there are others claiming to be her ex-husband?"

"Yeah. I just said, including you, there are a total of eight," Howard replied, pulling out his phone.
