Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 312

Frank asked, "Huh? Tomorrow? But you..."

Raymond said, "I don't want her to see me like this."

Frank fell silent, then sighed. "Why put yourself through this?"

Raymond gently brushed his fingers across Agnes's cheek and said softly, "I know her too well. This is better."
