The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 150

Keen was right next to Rachel, clinging to her as though she was his only support.

Haynes suddenly noticed that his wife and son had started clashing like cats and dogs without him even realizing it. Stella had become attached to another child, while Keen had put all his trust in someone else.
