A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love by Arny Gallucio

Chapter 67

A year later, her father married Eloise.

Rena could vividly recall the frequent quarrels between her father and Eloise during that time.

On one occasion, Eloise wept inconsolably and queried why her husband treated someone else’s child so well while refusing to let her bear their own child.
