Bride Behind The Mask Novel

Chapter 606

Teresa gazed longingly at the photo of Daddy Maurice, with a look of utter confusion painting her cherubic face a rosy red.

After all, she was undoubtedly Hayes’ Daddy’s daughter through and through. And her twin brother, who shared her birthday suit down to the freckle, must be Hayes’ Daddy’s kiddo too!
