Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 912

Everett sat quietly, eyes shut as if catching some shut-eye. Alex, not getting a word out of him, knew deep down what was on his mind. She sighed to herself and turned to the driver. "Let's head back to Lakeside Mansion." The car cruised slowly into the evening's embrace.
