Chapter 2409
As Kyson’s lips drew nearer, Dulcie’s breath hitched in nervous anticipation.
Was he… about to kiss her?
The thought allowed her to imagine a tender memory to cherish post- divorce.

Dulcie turned and fled, her face ablaze with embarrassment.
The door to the study closed behind her, leaving the room silent except for Kyson’s presence.
