Chapter 349 Grocery Shopping 

If one wasn’t familiar with Paula, they wouldn’t have been able to detect her current pretense. 

A hint of mockery flashed through the beautiful, profound eyes of Cecilia’s. 

“Who are you planning to pawn me off to this time? Or are you trying to use me again to gain some kind of advantage?”
