Semua Bab BEYOND GOODBYE: Take Me Back EX WIFE : Bab 81 - Bab 87

Pepper POV“You patched things up?” Shan asked eagerly when Victor left for the night.After dining at home, with Victor becoming our regular cook and Althea working as his little assistant, Shan came to my room to fish for information.I was surprised.

That would undermine him in the eyes of my children.While I wanted to lash out, that would not be in accordance with what Victor and I wanted to achieve for our children.My eyes began to wander, checking for the triplets and their father, finally noticing the silence.Weird.“Where are they?” I asked Shan."Victor and the children went out to buy some stuff for their night outing.
