The Wrong Woman

Layla fell silent, her face paling. After a moment, she calmly said, "Let's finalize the property division. I'm ready whenever." With that, she retreated upstairs with an icy expression.

As Daniel moved toward Mila, Nathan intervened, extending his hand. When their hands met, Daniel chuckled softly, "Nate, you're here too?"

Nathan quipped, "You can tell by my hands?"

With a smirk, Daniel replied, "Every time Chubs visits, she always grabs my hand. But you, you keep me from touching your wife, seeing me as a competition." Mila barely contained her laughter.
