Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 79

"I felt a sharp pain at first, then I thought it was you, s o I..."

After recalling, Rebecca felt horrible. At the same time, she looked at the eight-diagram mirror and started suspecting Darryl.

Jackson did not speak but hugged her tight with his fists, almost bleeding from his nails stabbing his flesh. In order to protect her reputation, they would not tell the public about this. The best thing to do was t o investigate on their own.
