Chapter 17 Would You Like to Give These to Madam Right Now? Leanna’s hand trembled a little, but her expression remained unchanged. “There was a collaboration previously, so I just took her to a few events.” “Oh.” “I’m trying to explain it to you as clearly as I can.

“You divorced me because you thought she was pregnant and that I was cheating.” Previously, he assumed that Leanna wanted to divorce because she had other malicious intentions, but Jonathan thought otherwise as he believed that her action was only out of spite, which could be solved with Aidan’s coaxing.
