Chapter 24 Amending The Divorce Settlement Agreement
Christina’s heart felt like it’d been pounded by a blunt object.
Countless girls had pursued the dashing figure before her.
Brayden stared soulfully into the eyes of the ingenue before him as he anticipated her answer.
Christina recalled the night Brayden had heard of the news that she was married at the bar. She could. tell from his disappointed gaze that he minded greatly.
