Chapter 890

"Happy New Year! How have you been lately?"

Russell's voice carried a hint of laughter.

Aveline replied, "Pretty good. I found my biological parents and have returned to Labor City."

"I'm going abroad."

After a long moment, Russell's voice finally broke the silence.

Aveline was taken aback. "Why the sudden decision to go abroad?"
