The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 33

Seeing the situation unfold, Stella felt like a heavy stone pressing down on her chest, suffocating her.

During their five-year marriage, Haynes had never accompanied her to drop Keen off at kindergarten. She had suggested it once, but Haynes brushed it off, claiming he was too busy with work.
