Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 269: Mom, stop yapping with them! Hoyts voice trembled with rage as his mother continued to speak.

His earlier irritation had morphed into a burning fury.

Pain still shot through his wrist, his fingers feeling like they had been trapped in a vice.

The mere thought made him grit his teeth.

Yet the bile of his anger refused to settle.
