alone!?”
“Hmph! Kiddo, is that how you talk to your sister?” A cold voice rang through the room. Entering the

“This won’t do!” As she was speaking, the envelope was already being stuffed back into her bag.

the innocent cute looks of his daughter from the past two days.
He was worried that he would never get another chance to see his daughter. When the thought crossed
his mind, Jacob suddenly felt the urge to meet Naeve’s parents at the hospital.
“Boss!” Someone shouted at him with a deep voice from outside the car window.
