His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 253 #Chapter 1: The Path Of Fate

Book 2: Ella grew up and tried to earn an independent life in this dangerous city without her wealthy Alpha family’s help. However, as a rookie lawyer, she was treated as no more than an errand runner. She wanted to meet her mate one day, but she didn’t expect her mate would be someone who came from the biggest mafia family in the city…

I stretched and started packing up when my phone buzzed with an incoming call. The screen read Mom & Dad. Sighing, I picked up.

“Hey, you two.”
