Fled With CEO’s Twin Babies by Sherri Roman

Chapter 13 Congratulations, Mr. Smith

“I just can’t bear to part with you.”

Wendy tenderly clung to Joe’s arm, the heart-shaped red birthmark on her snow-white skin becoming more pronounced.

A nameless irritation welled up inside Joe. He glanced at Wendy, “You don’t seem well. Perhaps you should rest.”

“But…” Wendy’s eyes widened in surprise, “Didn’t we agree to announce our engagement?”

headache coming on. He didn’t know what Mia had said to his grandfather to make him so determined to accept only this granddaughter-in-law.

He said firmly, “I’ll talk to Grandpa. You go rest.”

Knowing he wouldn’t change his mind, Wendy reluctantly followed the waiter out. Before leaving, she shot Mia a venomous glance.

She couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

She found a secluded corner and made a discreet phone call.
