Milly's face contorted with a mixture of anger and disappointment. "I can't believe he would stoop so low, especially after what he did," she exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration.

Turns out, he's nothing more than a church rat."As the video call with Ethan came to an end, Ryan couldn't help but burst into an uncontrollable laughter. The sound of his delight filled the room, echoing with amusement."Dude!" Ryan exclaimed between fits of laughter. "I never thought I'd see the day when you'd turn into a full-blown lover boy.

He shook his head playfully, trying to downplay the newfound romantic side he had displayed during the call."Come on, man, cut me some slack," Ethan chuckled, his voice tinged with good-natured exasperation.

Mrs. Whitlock's brows furrowed as she raked her memory, trying to be sure as she recalled the name. It took a moment, but then it clicked. "Yes, that's right," she replied."Why would you pursue a woman you've just met?
