Jeremy kept silent, busily helping Cornelia with her food. No matter how many years passed, his affection for Cornelia only seemed to grow. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Steven grumbled, “My little girl is so young. Stop eyeing her for your boy.”

Lucas called her his “silly girl.”
At the table, three couples sat together, leaving Skyler the only singleton, but she didn’t feel awkward as they were all close friends. Having her own career and a handful of good friends, that was the life Skyler had always pursued. No matter the difficulties, she didn’t mind anymore; she was all about enjoying the moment.
