Chapter 340

Neil Whitmore gave my waist a gentle squeeze, just the right amount of pressure to make my heart flutter.

He sighed, “I really wish I could put on this mature, steady front for you, but it’s just pointless. I kept it up for ten years and ended up divorced from you. I don’t want to make the same mistake again.”
