Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 461

Finishing her chat with Gillian, Elara opened Julian's messages. He had texted her two days ago, saying he wanted to see Melody.

Still, they weren't legally divorced yet. Withholding Melody completely could give Julian ammunition against her.

Reluctantly, she fired off a brusque reply: "I had too many messages lately, yours got buried."

"Melody is about to start school again. She needs to adjust her routine for Shoreline Preschool. She doesn't have time to play with you."
