The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 237

Bailey stepped in front of Reese, his eyes red and watery. "Your mom and I just want you to be happy. Maybe you should really think about this whole divorce thing with Sebastian?"

Reese gave him a cold, flat look. The gentle, caring dad she remembered from childhood seemed long gone, replaced by this fake, self-serving man.
