The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 649

If it hadn't been for Keen, she would never have held on to the marriage for so long.

After the divorce, if not for her career-something she truly cared about-she wouldn't have bounced back so quickly. It would have left her gutted, feeling lost about the future.

"What would you do if you met the person who matters most to you?" Stella asked him.

"I'd do my best to make her wishes come true," Joshua replied.
