The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“What’s this?” he asked, his curiosity piqued, as he picked it up.

Before she could finish her sentence, the overpowering scent triggered five consecutive sneezes, leaving her eyes moist and red.

Vivienne, feeling an unexpected pang of guilt, glared at Leopold and handed Cecilia a few
