Chapter 23 Mr. Smith Embarrasses Himself Again

Nicholas couldn't care less about Sophia's sweet talk; he just saw the disgust in his eyes.

Emily was bored out of her mind and dragged Abigail back to their room.

"Michael didn't tell Mr. Jackson you're his wife. How do you feel about that?" Abigail teased with a grin.

"I don't feel anything. Stop gossiping and get some rest. We're leaving tomorrow." Emily shooed Abigail back to her room.
