The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 670

Previously, to fulfill Rachel's wishes, Dad had given her the wedding ceremony he'd originally planned as a vow renewal for Mom.

Rachel had walked down the aisle, holding his hand, and someone in the crowd had mistaken her for his wife. Mom was furious.

In Keen's young mind, he thought this kind of misunderstanding must have made

Mom angry.

But now, Mom didn't really seem upset at all.

Keen, meanwhile, was fascinated by horseback riding.

In families like his, children usually started riding lessons by the age of four or five. Unfortunately, Keen's health hadn't been great, and his parents had postponed anything too strenuous for him. Horseback riding was one of those things that had to wait.

When they arrived at the country club, Stella, Rachel, Aurora, and Simone headed for the women's locker room to change.

Haynes took Keen, along with Foreman and Joshua, to the men's locker room to get into their riding gear.
