Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 254

Charles gently wiped the tears from her face.

“Don’t worry, darling. I’ll take care of everything.”

“What happened with that woman was truly an accident. I’m a victim in all this, too. Besides, she’s been in a coma for years—no one even knows if she’ll ever wake up, or how long she’ll last. I haven’t had any contact with her all this time.”

Rosalind eyed him skeptically, clearly unconvinced. “So she’s the only one?”

“She’s the only one, I swear!”

Charles raised his right hand in a solemn oath, his voice steady and resolute. “I promise—there’s only her. And I will always love you, Rosalind. If I’m lying, may everyone turn their backs on me, and may I never know peace.”

Rosalind pressed her hand over his mouth, her eyes glimmering with fresh tears. “Don’t say such things.”

“Are you still angry with me?” he asked softly.

She shot him a glare, but said nothing more.

Charles broke into a relieved smile, leaning in to kiss her. His hands moved deftly, slipping beneath her clothes. Rosalind resisted at first, but soon gave in, her pale fingers curling around the edge of the sofa as they moved together.

Desire thickened the air, filling the bedroom with soft, breathless whispers.

Giselle was waiting for him there.

The moment she saw her father, her eyes filled with tears. “Dad, how could you... How’s Mom? Is she okay?”
