We Divorced Once, I’ll Never Let Him ReturnBOOK1-Chapter 1
The day I took my daughter for a check-up, Diego Powell, who had been away on a business trip for several days, came to pick us up.
As soon as he saw us, he pulled both me and our daughter into his arms.
A faint, unfamiliar scent clung to him, brushing past my nose.
Our daughter nestled against his chest, giggling as she played with him.
I watched them with a smile until we got into the car.
That was when I saw the woman seated in the back.
——
She had a delicate, round face and wore a smart, tailored suit.
With a sweet smile, she greeted me. "Hello, sister-in-law. I’m Courtney Edwards, newly assigned to the Powell Corporation’s secretary's office."
I turned toward Diego. His tone was steady. "She was just on the way, so I gave her a ride."
But since when did the high-ranking CEO of Powell Corporation chauffeur a subordinate himself?
And more importantly, during the time meant for picking up his wife and daughter?
Courtney offered a gentle, apologetic smile. “Please don’t misunderstand, sister-in-law. I just wanted to take this chance to apologize.”
She handed me a gift bag. Inside was a brand-new tube of the hand cream I often used.
