Beyond the Divorce

I could sense Ivanna's frustration as she realized that Jared had left in a hurry without explaining anything to her.

"He left in a rush. I'll explain later. I should be in Bourdamun by tomorrow morning," I informed her. I quickly hung up and returned to Anson's side. He looked at me and said, "Go ahead and attend to your business."

I smiled and sat next to him again. "I should spend more time with you since Trinity's not around. I would have visited sooner if I hadn't been so busy."

I replied, "Sure."
