Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 362

With Mila's nerves stretched taut the entire ride, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Adrian drove steadily, and it wasn't until the city hall came into view that Mila finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Leonard, who'd gone ahead to handle some paperwork, arrived just in time, bringing all the necessary documents. Mila was finally able to reclaim everything that Lysander had held back from her-except, of course, for the family register.
