When Love Breaks by Jack

Chapter 723

Winter had settled over Vista Town, making the choice for a honeymoon spot with a warmer climate an easy one for Christine.

“And using another man to make Dailey jealous isn’t exactly clever.”

Nelly was all smiles and soft-spoken, seemingly coming from a place of concern.
