Her Precious Baby

Chapter 294

Evander helped Olivine to the couch. He stared at her, asking, “What happened?”

Olivine held his arm and put on a puppy pout. With a sad, broken voice, she responded. “I did nothing, Evander. Trust me. I couldn't help you guys since I couldn't cook, so I cut up some fruits for the boy. However, he tossed them away and shoved me to the table.”

Angeline laughed mirthlessly. Boy. she's getting better at making up stories.
