Chapter 374

When I heard my mom’s words, I was kind of taken aback. I knew what she was getting at; she deeply hoped that Russel and I could end up together.

That harmonious scene before her eyes was what she wished for.

Russel and I made eye contact for a while, but neither of us said anything.
