Chapter 1337
After hearing that, the coldness on Aiken's face softened slightly.
Meanwhile, back in her own bedroom, Simona was eager to share the good news with Stephen. However, for some reason, he wasn't answering her video calls.
She thought that he was probably busy and decided to leave him a voice message.
"Stephen, I just talked to my brother about our relationship, and he agreed. I'll bring you to meet him after some time. He's actually a really good person."
Simona didn't wait for Stephen to reply. If he was busy, he'd probably set his phone to silent mode and wouldn't respond for a while.

"Ned, I'm really terrified. I usually get anxious just being in a hospital."
Her eyes reddened as she spoke. She wasn't just being dramatic. She was truly scared that Skylar tried to do something during her time in the hospital. If she did, Rosa wouldn't be able to stop her.
"I'll be at the hospital tomorrow, don't worry," Joe said in a low voice as he walked inside.
Rosa wasn't surprised. He had already promised her, after all.
She had stayed by his side through a difficult month in the hospital, and now it was his turn to be there for her.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As she spoke, she suddenly caught a faint scent in the air.
It didn't smell like perfume, but it was a light and elegant fragrance. And it didn't smell like the cologne Joe usually wore.
A woman had definitely been close to him recently!
