Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 289

Outside Kingsford.

At the edge of town, in a small house near the village, chaos reigned indoors.

A teenage boy paced anxiously outside the guest room, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.

After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened. The lady of the house stepped out, nodded at the boy, and spoke in a brisk, practical tone.

"I've cleaned her up with warm water, gave her some ginger tea, and helped her change. She's asleep now."

She paused, her expression clouding with disapproval. "Honestly, how do you look after your girlfriend? You let her get caught in a downpour like that-she could get really sick."

Archie flushed, stumbling over his words. "No, no, she's not my girlfriend, she's my... cousin."

He'd almost said "sister-in-law," but something about the whole situation made that sound too strange, so he quickly changed it to "cousin."

The woman didn't look suspicious; she simply gave him a few parting instructions before leaving.

Only then did Archie slip into the guest room.
