Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Forty Two

Third Person POV.

Angela settled herself on the plush couch in Richard’s living room, her mind still reeling from their

slightly awkward exchange at the doorstep. Her eyes scanned the room, taking in the familiar

surroundings.

to be here at 8 pm, in my place where I live with my wife? Do you think it’s appropriate?” he

retorted.

Angela sneered at him, her irritation evident. “If you’re so concerned about being a good husband,”

she shot back. “you shouldn’t have let me inside in the first place.”
