The Bound Between Us

Chapter 171

Joey couldn’t bear to part with those three houses either. Who could blame him? Those three houses in Riverdale were worth millions of

Joey was nervously sitting on the edge of his hospital bed, with his hands ruffling his hair in frustration.

Carmen suggested, “I’ll apologize to Gianna for you. I’ll say I forced you to cheat and have a kid with another woman. It’s all my fault. All you need to do is make things up with Glanna.

“Sure, when I’m free, I’ll meet your husband and give him a once-over.”
