Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 6

“Well, poor me. My husband doesn’t even know my true character after two years of marriage,” Cynthia blurted out.

Joshua was speechless yet again.

“Let’s go home.” He loosened his tie, grabbed her purse, and held her wrist as he walked out.

“I see.” Joshua’s eyes darkened.
