My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 221 In a quiet corner of the living room, Billie sat at a small table by the window, meticulously preparing coffee.

She had no desire to confront Elizabeth directly—it would only lead to discomfort for both of them.

Shawn observed her deft movements as she poured the coffee and casually praised her.

“Among the James family, your coffee is unmatched.”
