Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 173 The Heavy Rain

“What?! He came to look for you?” Lainey said in shock.

Ainsley talked about it and Irene with Lainey right after the breakup.

Ainsley thought of the building she saw Manuel walk into that day and smiled sorrowfully, “I don’t think so. He came for work.”

The phone rang and his eyes narrowed. It was Irene calling.

“What’s up?” He didn’t tell Irene that he’d come to St. Nork. He’d come the first day Ainsley had arrived.

“Manuel, who was it that answered the phone last night?” Irene’s voice was soft, but her tone was unmistakably sharp.

“What’s up?” He didn’t want to answer the
