Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 9

Mila had no intention of causing a scene on the street over such a trivial matter.

After taking the photo, she grabbed Miranda's arm and headed toward the car parked across the street, ready to leave.

Leonard was known for his aloof demeanor; he only ever heeded Lysander's words, making him appear almost inhuman.

Mila didn't have the best impression of him.

His presence now, coupled with Lysander's earlier expression, signaled trouble. Instinctively, Mila tightened her grip on her phone.
