Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 740 No One Cares

Felix remained completely unfazed in the face of Chandler’s hostility. Even with Chandler’s presence exuding cold fury, Felix acted as if it didn’t concern him in the slightest.

Slouched lazily in his wheelchair, Felix tilted his head up and smirked, “Your wife? And you’re asking me? What, can’t you even keep an eye on your own woman?”

Felix’s face was a little pale–maybe from exhaustion. But his eyes were sharp, unwavering as they locked onto Chandler.
