I Left My CEO Husband. His Empire Fell novel Chapter 2

Dwayne’s gaze swept over Dorothy, and she saw no anger on his face. Then he picked Brenden up and said, “It’s fine.”

“I like Dwayne!”

Brenden wrapped his arms around Dwayne’s neck and pouted. “I wish Dwayne was really my daddy.”

Dorothy clenched her fists.

She tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, walked past them, and entered the elevator.

Liana led Dorothy to a room where Aliyah was praying with her hand on the Bible.

“Madam Lambert, I want a divorce from Dwayne.”
