Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After (Linsey)

Chapter 1051:

Joanne wanted to stay calm, to brush it off—but her breath faltered, and pain gripped her chest.

She opened her mouth, trying to answer, but no words came out. Her lips quivered in silence.

Dolores might never win Hester’s approval, but Dustin’s love for her remained unwavering. What about her, though? Bitterness crept into Joanne’s thoughts. Not only had Jeffery forgotten her completely, but he had also married another woman and started a family.

Dizziness and despair crashed over Joanne like a tidal wave. Time was running out. Once Alicia delivered Jeffery’s child, her last chance at winning him back would slip away forever.

Summoning a forced smile, Joanne spoke in a hoarse whisper. “Dolores, since you have other matters to attend to, I won’t keep you any longer.”

Dolores watched in amazement as Joanne composed herself with remarkable speed. Within moments, Joanne had turned to face Dustin and Hester, her expression already softening into a gentle, practiced smile.
