This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

Chapter 896 – Connor’s Terms

That was not important, however. What was important was when Connor brought Toby’s mother up, Sonia could see that the love in his eyes was genuine. So he still loves her? But so what? He cheated on her even though he said he loves her. She’s gone now. Pretending like she’s your greatest love means nothing. The only one who thinks it means something is you.

might have lost some respect for the woman now, but she was still a woman, and Sonia had to protect women wherever she could. She had to get some justice for the women who were hurt by men. Connor’s face fell right after she finished talking, and Sonia would be lying if she said she was not nervous.
