Sentenced to Marriage by MadlainQ

Chapter 111

Our fight The frown painting Aren’s face deepened. He kept staring at me as if he was fighting an inner battle about whether to accept my assumptions or not. His expression made me even angrier at him than I was before. Was it so hard to believe that the woman who hurt him so badly before was now collaborating with his enemies?

You boys have a nice talk,” I said softly before heading upstairs. “Cora…” I heard Aren’s still annoyed tone behind my back. I stopped for a second, but no words followed. 

I went to my bedroom, leaving a gap in my door to eavesdrop on Aren’s conversation with Chris and Jack, but I heard nothing. I moved quietly to the dressing table, took off the diamond earrings, and unclasped the necklace before slowly putting it back in the box,
