Chapter 43

While Cordy’s eyes narrowed, Mandy started to leave with a strut, certain that Cordy would not linger now!

And when Mandy came to her senses, she promptly wrapped her arms around her own chest and turned to glare viciously at Richard.

His squeaky clean leather shoes were standing firmly on the hem of her skirt, and he said with innocence showing all over his little face, “You wouldn’t harass a little boy like me, right? I’m only six-it was an accident.”
