After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline pulled her hand back, giving Rina a cold look. "I have the right to be wherever I want. Don't you think you're overstepping, Miss Johnson?" Rina's face darkened further. "You wretch! How dare you show up at Russ's birthday party? Get out!"

"Rina!"

Russell's voice was noticeably colder as he stood up, pulling Aveline behind him. His usually warm eyes now held a hint of frost as he looked at Rina.

"Russ!"
