Chapter 18
Wasn’t Loid supposed to be disfigured due to a severe illness?
This was far from being disfigured on the contrary, Loid was devastatingly good–looking
Shannon could barely breathe.
What had she done?
How could she have conceded such a handsome man to Lib?
“Do you need something, Ms. Martinez?” Loid gave her an impassive glance before looking away. He barely even looked at her. His expression hadn’t changed at all.
Shannon snapped back to her senses and said hastily, “My mother’s worried that Lily wouldn’t be able to get used to living here all alone, Lold, so I’m here to help her move in.” She glanced furtively at Loid’s face as her heart pounded.
