The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1110

Suddenly, Callum stiffened up before raising his head slowly to look at her. “Why are you here?” he said in a dry voice, forcing a smile as he did

She was startled by the haggardness on his face. “You look awful! Your flight back must have been exhausting. Why don’t you come home and rest? You can deal with everything else after a good rest.”

Her voice was so gentle that the weight on his heart became unbearable.

He could not bring himself to tell her that it was his mother who almost killed her and her unborn child, nor could he tell her that what he did to exact vengeance on her behalf was merely keeping his mother from stepping out of the castle for the rest of her life.

He did not send the perpetrators to be punished by the law, nor did he have them pay for their crimes.
