Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Romina opened her mouth to defend herself, but her grandfather cut in, "I can see that Serenity genuinely treats River like a younger brother, and River respects her deeply.

She'll leave Eaglioncile in a few days. What could she possibly plot against me? I just like her kids. They're adorable. I've seen cute kids before, but never one as precious as her daughter. I almost want to take her home and raise her myself." Old Mr. Lafond: "..."

Romina froze.
