Julian's Stand in Wife

Diana became increasingly confused. “How is he cruel? Did your chat with Noel not go well? You didn’t reconcile with him?”

Reconcile?

Cecilia sneered, then looked at Fanny. “You’re more familiar with business. How much money do you think is needed to open a restaurant like this?”
