Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right by Czy Season

Chapter 216

Hester's eyes widened as the realization dawned on her. Juan had figured out her identity, yet he had feigned ignorance.

A pang of desolation washed over her, and she cast her gaze downwards.

Melody shot Juan a reproachful look. "What do you mean by that? I like Hester very much and would never let her be treated as such. Hester is dutiful and a delight to be around. I enjoy her company, so I want her to stay by my side for a few days. I won't allow you to treat her like a servant."
