My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 654

While Esther and Bradley remained unhappy, Mandy enjoyed her happiness.

"Good luck," X said.

"Thanks."

After ending the call, Mandy strolled back to the hot spring pool.

Sadie faced Esther as she playfully teased Mandy, "Mr. Warner knows how to treat a lady, huh?"

"Sadie, don't say that in front of my sister-in-law," Mandy replied, neither confirming nor denying Bradley's call. She smiled faintly and added, "Honestly, I don't think he loves me. He's just grateful."

"Gratitude can turn into love," Sadie encouraged optimistically. "Don't give up."

Mandy lowered her head and whispered after a moment, "I don't believe in love."

Once, Sadie believed in love, inspired by her happily married parents. But after witnessing Bradley and Esther, she thought maybe not believing in love wasn't so bad.

The three relaxed in the hot springs, sipping wine. Aware of an early makeup appointment, they wrapped up their evening.

Esther had a restless night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She reached for her phone several times, wanting to make a call, but found no one in her contacts who could understand her current state of mind in this vast world.
