Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 65

The young lady took a few more pictures and sent then all to Hayley with a caption that read, ‘Miss Seymour, you may want to keep a close eye on your man because this woman here is trying to seduce him!

Hayley was lounging in her hospital room and scrolling through videos on her phone when she clicked into the new text. When she saw the pictures of Anastasia and Elliot, her eyes widened in disbelief while anger rose in her chest. Anastasia is on a date with Elliot with her son in tow!
