Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 255

Chapter 255:

Eileen’s mouth twitched as she watched Jacob act like that while holding Phoebe. She dipped her head and gave a soft cough. Jacob seemed too needy.

Phoebe had reached her limit with Jacob’s antics. With a slap to his head, she snapped, “Enough already. If you keep acting so repulsive, I’m sending you home!”
