The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 113

Keen stared at her in disbelief. "But you haven't even asked what happened!"

Stella replied, "Isn't it the same with you guys? You never ask what happened either. You just assume it's my fault, right? Besides..."

She glanced gently at Marvin. "I trust Marvin. He would never hit someone without a reason."

Lately, she'd been looking after Marvin at home. Marvin was such a smart kid, wise beyond his years, which made her heart ache a little.
