Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 269

That night, during the Harvest Moon Festival, Jessica couldn't hide how much she minded what had happened between Timothy and Sheila.

He'd even told Sheila before that Jessica had the marriage certificate-she was his legal wife. If having the marriage certificate couldn't give her a sense of security, then she really was being naive.
