Chapter 19

A nursery rhyme?! The crowd roared with laughter.

“Alana, you’re too Kind,” Alondra said. “I’m not sure if she could even manage a nursery rhyme…”

Rosaline glared at Julianna spitefully. Julianna had indirectly insulted Abel for not being able to have more children than Adrien.

“Hmm, let me give it a go, since it’s a party after all!” Emmeline tried to diffuse the tension.
