Chapter 7 He Investigated
Looking at Sweety’s hesitant expression, I calmly asked, “Forced to work in a red–light district as a prostitute, you mean?”
She nodded cautiously. “I don’t mean to dig into your old wounds, but I really want to know why you’ve never talked about what happened during those six months after you returned.”

It was about matters from five years ago!
Idris had asked someone to look into what happened five years ago…
I paused and took a deep breath. Had he heard what Moore said today at the hospital?
“If you’d like a divorce, Mr. Young, I’m more than willing whenever you’re ready.” I pushed the door
open and faced the two slightly surprised men in the study.
“Mrs. Young…” Ensio looked a little startled.
