Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 317

“Okay,” he responded casually as if agreeing on an insignificant matter.

As Yuliana raised her head slightly, her eyes widened and quickly turned red with

tears.

Yuliana shook her head lightly without saying anything.

Zayne also did not like to probe into matters between spouses.
