Jilted Bride 190

Chapter 190

Ophelia couldn't quite follow the conversation, which explained why she was allowed to stay.

Xander turned his head to Kenneth, hoping to discuss some economics.

Xander's name matched his casual and free-spirited personality, his tone and demeanor were sharply different from his formal speeches.
