CEO's substitute bride (Alyssa)

Chapter 16

Hearing his words and looking at his smile, Alyssa was stunned to silence. What shocked her was that the person in charge of such a rich and powerful family was actually this much kind.

As he raised his hand and motioned her to sit, she couldn’t help but follow his instructions. She silently pinched her hand, suspecting if she was dreaming.
