All Her Secrets

The Duncans and the Swanns formed an alliance through their marriage arranged by Vicente. Sitting in the front, Triston laughed happily, saying, “Ha, Mr. Duncan, you’re doing a great job being so respectful to the elders. Well done, you can be considered a role model for us young people.

Branden kicked the back of the front seat with a handsome gesture. Triston immediately apologized, “My bad. I’ll shut up. I shouldn’t have spoken.”
