Chapter 227

On Christmas Eve, Anthea returned to Carole’s side, marking their first holiday season together since the

Nanson chuckled, “You think you can handle this kind of work, kiddo? Why don’t you go inside and wash up? Breakfast’s almost ready.”

“Uncle, are you underestimating me?” Anthea raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Why don’t you give it a try then?” Nanson handed her the string of lights.
