His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 478 Not Completely Indifferent.

He leaned in once more, planting a fierce kiss on the side of Lysander’s neck.

She struggled as if she had been burned, attempting to kick him away with her leg. However, her strength was insufficient, and instead, allowed him the chance to lift half of the blanket off her.

“First, send the money to Daphne. As for your heart… wait until I return this time. I’ll have Lynn get me at surgical scalpel.”

“Don’t play dumb; you know exactly what I’m talking about.”
