Chapter 1722

Veronica had a sweet tooth, so whenever Moran asked her out, their meeting spot was always a dessert shop.

While indulging in their sweet treats, Veronica let out a wistful sigh, her face a picture of distress.

Veronica could barely taste her dessert. “It’s just this thing between Ellinor and my brother. I’m worried.”
