The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 668

"Yes! Aurora is amazing-she plays violin, she's great at all kinds of extreme sports, and she can even race cars... She looks so cool behind the wheel!"

Rachel latched onto that detail, her voice suddenly stern. "Keen, you're not well. You can't be doing strenuous things like that-especially racing. It's dangerous."

Keen shook his head. "Aurora never asks me to do any of that. I haven't even been in the car with her. She just lets me watch and says I can try when I'm healthy again."

Determined to be as remarkable as Aurora, Keen made up his mind: he would get better, no matter what, and learn from her.
