Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 54

"You have nothing to worry about. You're Dr. Joyner's friend, and you're one of the few people Mr. Wentworth pays special attention to. I promise I'll keep an extra eye on things for you."

Cedric Clarke stood in the doorway, watching Briony's retreating figure with a complicated look on his face.
