Chapter 1298

As Zephyr spoke, Susan’s families exchanged knowing smiles, their faces lighting up with such joy that it seemed as if beams of happiness might burst from their eyes.

Susan, whose heart had been seething with anger moments before, felt a wave of calm wash over her at Zephyr’s words. She couldn’t help but crack a smile. That smile, however, pulled at her tender cheeks, and she winċed with the sting.
