Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140

Ryan was shocked at Madeline’s sudden visit. “Did something happen, Eveline? How can I help you?”

Madeline placed her compiled and signed divorce papers in front of Ryan.

Madeline gave it some thought and replied, “As long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll try my best.”

“I’m sure it is.” Ryan smiled as hope tinted his eyes. “It’ll be my 30th birthday in two days. I’d like to spend time with you during such an important moment. Take it as a beautiful way to end this marriage that was in nothing but name.”
