The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Haynes assigning this task to Foreman was only natural.

Stella asked, "How's Haynes doing now?"

Foreman replied, "He's out of danger, but still unconscious. Honestly, the fact that

her at meals, and even followed her on shopping trips. He was more present than

Joshua ever had been in the past.

After a while, Stella started to feel a little awkward about it.

you're worried about something happening, just assign a few more skilled female

bodyguards. There's really no need for you to escort me everywhere yourself."
