Chapter 12
When David saw me, a flash of amazement crossed his eyes.
“Looks like you’ve been doing well this past month,” he said with a bitter smile. “Are you so happy to be rid of me?”

“Just say the word that you don’t want me to marry Emily, and I’ll leave with you right now.”
I looked at him, smiling brightly, “I wish you both a hundred years of happiness together.”
