My Gorgeous Wife is an Ex-Convict!

Chapter 47

Grace pursed her lips, finding Sean’s offer to be absurd. He…what exactly? Wanted to assuage his guilt by getting her a job? It was his fault she’d been unemployable everywhere else in the city.

She started to walk away from him.

had been taken down and Jason Reed’s refusal to attend their

engagement banquet.
