Chapter 1357 Returning To Riversouth

• As she spoke, Shirley lowered her head, guilt casting a shadow over her eyes as she avoided Wade's gaze. "I don't want to give you false hope. That would only cause more pain."
• Having known Wade for a substantial period, she was familiar with his character.
