The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1272:

Cliff’s breath caught in his chest as he realized just how deeply he had hurt her—this person who had never used to hide her emotions from him. Gently, he lifted her into his arms and placed her carefully on his lap.

Laney rested weakly against him, her head nestled against his neck. Still, she said nothing. The tears kept falling.
