He Chose His "Bestie", so I Took Everything Back novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

The day my flight landed in Chrovia, Xenia was there to welcome me home. A handsome man was standing next to her. He smiled at me shyly.

“Yvonne, this is my boyfriend. His name is Shane Lindon.”

Shane reached out a hand. “Hello, Ms. Sherman. Xenia talks about you a lot.”

“Who?”

“Thanks,” I said with a chuckle.

“But, Yvonne, are you really not planning to-”
