Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 31

Before long, the car smoothly rolled into Montgomery Manor.

The grand wrought-iron gates swung open to reveal an evergreen oasis within the estate, defying the chill of winter with its lush greenery. A small bridge arched over a gently flowing stream, evoking a sense of timeless elegance.

The vehicle drove straight through the courtyard, pulling up to the main house where warmth spilled out of the entrance.

Both Lysander, her husband, and his father, Conrad, harbored a distinct dislike for her, although Conrad's was tempered by his wife's fondness for Mila.

Mila greeted him quietly, "Hello, Dad."
