Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Chapter 24

“Roselynn, what are you doing? It hurts!”

When Roselynn stepped out after changing, she was

shocked to discover that her brother had a band–aid

worry, Mom. I accidentally fell down, that’s all.”

“Fell down? This is a lie. You obviously got hurt. Did

someone hit you or throw something at you?”

Roselynn snapped. Her voice grew increasingly

agitated as she demanded, “Manny, be honest with

Emmanuel nearly coughed out blood in exasperation.
