Chapter 16

In the darkness of night, a beautifully-designed black car was parked under the building Irene and Thomas lived in.

He knew she would stay outside all night when he saw the woman and Jordan left the hotel together intimately. But he still couldn't control himself and had to come and have a look. There was still a trace of hope remaining in his heart. Yet it turned out it was nothing but an unrealistic fantasy.
