The Bound Between Us

Chapter 323

Geneva and Thomas pulled Ashley aside, as they also didn’t want the couple to get a divorce. If things escalated further, it could irreparably damage their relationship. They thought giving Thomas some space might help cool things down.

As Ashley left the hospital, she was still angry and upset, “I should never have let Thomas reconnect with that vixen Salma. Now they’ve rekindled their old flame.”

Ashley was both angry and heartbroken. After all these years with Thomas, he wanted to go back to Salma. Worst of all, he had the audacity to claim that if it weren’t for the Stanton family forcing their will, he never would have married her. Such words were a cold dagger to her heart.
