Regretting the Wife He Threw Away
Chapter 495
Barrie wrapped an arm around Lorna's slender waist and pushed open the door.
The private lounge was empty, save for a bowl of fruit and a few bottles of wine on the table.
Once the heavy door clicked shut behind them, the noise from the hallway faded into silence.
Barrie pinned Lorna against the wall, one hand firmly on her waist, the other tilting her chin up as he leaned in for a kiss-

Barrie's eyes narrowed. "Does Stewart really let you stay out all night?"

Barrie raised an eyebrow. "He's really that ill?"
Lorna laughed softly, eyes glinting. "Mr. Lockwood, you've heard the rumors, haven't you? Why won't you believe me?"

Lorna sighed, her tone tinged with regret. "Exactly. I only agreed to the engagement so quickly because of his background and power. But now? He probably won't see the end of this summer. I have to start looking out for myself."
