The Ex Wife They Begged To Keep - Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Chapter 248 "Sorry, does being caught between us like this make things awkward for you?" Keith had noticed Serena's mood shift. He just wasn't sure what to say, about it. "It's fine. I just think your attitude's been a little strange, but it's not really bothering me." Serena's expression softened. She continued, "It takes time to accept someone new. I don't know why you don't like Tiana, but we've known each other for so long and come this far together. Keith, I'm willing to trust you and give you time."
