My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict

Chapter 73

Chapter 73

It had been a long time since Grace got two days in a row off, and on a weekend, no less. Normally, she was working overtime and taking whichever shifts she was assigned.

Since Grace finally got some rare time off, Lina took her shopping.

The two of them had not gone shopping for a long time. Grace because she lacked the time and the money, and Lina because Grace’s erratic schedule made planning a shopping trip almost impossible.
