The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Of course, you’re to blame. You keep messing around with the wrong women.”

Garrett had nothing to say to that.

Why did you feel the need to block his assailant with your own body?” She was visibly angry when she had first arrived, but her expression instantly softened when she caught sight of Laney’s bandaged shoulder.
