Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 20 Is That What She Taught You All These Years?

“The car’s ready, Sir. Are you really going to the Smiths?”

“Why can’t I?” A young man in a blazer sitting on a wheelchair asked. There were tattoos peeking through his sleeves, and he radiated an air of authority.
