Regretting The Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 411

She forced herself not to let her mind go there.

"Stewart, no matter how busy I was on business trips, I always called Little Nina every night before bed-she'd say goodnight to me, every single night. I haven't seen her face in over twenty-four hours now. She's just a little girl, she won't understand."
