Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 105

Sarah gave Cole a somewhat nervous look. She didn’t want onlookers to get the wrong idea about their relationship. After all, Cole had suspected her before.

But surprisingly, Cole just smiled and said nothing.

Sarah’s protests were drowned out by laughter.

The crowd had already accepted their own version of reality. Sarah exhaled, shaking her head as she resigned herself to the misunderstanding.

Abby, ever the free spirit, soon found herself engrossed in playing with other children around the campsite.
