Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 236

"She doesn't deserve any space, nor my trust!"

Leonard wanted to say something more, but he knew that Mr. Lysander was furious and wouldn't listen to reason right now. So, he kept his mouth shut and certainly didn't dare mention that Mrs. Mila had run off with Forrest.

He was genuinely worried that Mr. Lysander might not wait to recover before taking action...

Leonard nodded, "Already on it."

Lysander's eyes were filled with a fierce determination, "He slipped away seven years ago, but if he dares to return this time, he won't be so lucky."
