No Escape from Love novel Chapter 296

On the other side of town, Alex ran a frustrated hand through his hair. Vivian's innocent little act was infuriating.

She was the one who had caused all this trouble back then, yet now, she was acting as if nothing had happened.

Lucas, seated comfortably behind his desk, lazily swiveled his chair around with an infuriating smirk on his face.
