Infidelity: His Regret, My Revenge – A Twisted Love Story You Can't Ignore

Chapter 25

Evan turned to me, his tone humble and gentle.“I heard someone questioned your innocence; I spoke out of turn, without your permission. I hope I haven’t caused you any trouble.”

You’ve already signed the agreement; tomorrow noon is the final cooling–off period!” Julian’s mind and heart felt like they’d exploded; his voice was panicked and strained.“You really want a divorce?” He didn’t believe it. She loved him so much; she
