Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 460

Was she losing her mind?

Had she really heard that?

Mila lay stiffly in bed, her mind a tangled mess. For a long moment, she didn't move, half convinced she'd imagined it. But in this dead-quiet night, with only her and Felicity lying head-to-head on the bed, she certainly hadn't gone deaf.

A bastard with fox-like eyes?

Fiancé?

Setting aside the "fiancé❞ for now-was Felicity talking about Lysander? Surely she didn't mean Adrian... Mila's memory had been so muddled these days, she barely remembered the grandson, and for fear of upsetting Felicity, Adrian hadn't been allowed to visit the old house for a while.

Besides, the ages didn't match; she couldn't possibly mistake a child for a grown man-especially not someone Felicity insisted was her fiancé.

But that man was long gone.

What on earth was happening? Was Felicity's memory so jumbled now that she'd started having hallucinations?

How else could she explain it?

Suddenly, in the middle of the night, a chill crept down Mila's spine. Her skin prickled with unease, and she hurriedly tugged the covers up, curling into the blanket.

She'd have to ask about it tomorrow.

That was the plan, at least. But whether it was anxiety or some subconscious dread, Mila didn't sleep a wink. She lay wide-eyed until dawn, and as soon as the sun rose, with shadows under her eyes, she cornered Felicity, who had just woken up.

"What?"

"Fiancé?"

"Bastard with fox-like eyes?"
