Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 119:

Tristan responded calmly, “I was dropping Adrian off first, but then Emily told me you went to Starlight Nightclub, so I came over.”

Stella nodded, but inside, she wasn’t sure if she should be grateful to Emily or if she wanted to give her a good scolding!
