The Woman From Hell

Chapter 141

I stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "Am I not clear enough? As a wife, I've done all that I'm supposed to do. Since Ms. Reed, the mistress, strongly insists on doing everything else that comes after this, I'll take my leave. I know my place. Why is that wrong?"

I could not help but laugh as I shot a look at Cindy, saying, "I do love him.
