The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 224

Haynes's voice on the other end of the line carried a hint of weariness.

"You've called me so many times. Is there something urgent?"

Stella's voice was cold. "Haynes, did you forget that we were supposed to finalize our divorce today?"

There was a brief silence before Haynes spoke. "I haven't forgotten. I told you I have an emergency here and can't leave right now."

Stella felt a cold laugh rising within her.

"When I called earlier, Rachel had just been moved out of the emergency room. You've spent the whole morning with her, so you should be free this afternoon, right?"

To Haynes, her words sounded laced with jealousy.
