Housewife Gone Wild

Loose 490

Chapter 490

Tears are a weapon for women–use them once in a while and they work, but if you rely on them all the time, they lose their edge.

All I wanted after getting a second shot at life was to coast along, get rich, and enjoy the good times. Instead, I somehow got mixed up with this overbearing man, and now I have to constantly scheme and play games just to survive. Honestly, it just feels unfair.
