We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 1871 Awakening

The waitress nodded enthusiastically as Rochelle spoke.

Camden was about to interject, but Paul cut in. "Hold up, let's not get into this now. First, let's find out the context of that message she mentioned."

With the order given, Rochelle quickly took hold of Bella's phone. She scrolled through it, then raised it for everyone to see, a triumphant expression on her face.
