Trapped in Love

After settling at the dining table, Lily served Caroline a bowl of freshly cooked mushroom soup.

Upon seeing the yellow and greasy layer on the soup, Caroline felt a wave of nausea wash over her.

Lily was left speechless, witnessing the scene unfold before her. However, soon, a joyful expression appeared on her face.
