Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Alexander's words caught everyone off guard.

The gentle, sincere look on Sylvie's face faded, if only a little.

For a moment, she wondered if she'd misheard him.

Elodie, too, showed no reaction. Not a flicker of emotion crossed her face at Alexander's remark.

Jarrod's gaze lingered for a moment, then drifted away, a quiet amusement glinting in his eyes as if he'd thought of something.

Sylvie pressed her lips together, then spoke, her tone composed and unbothered. "Mr. Sterling, I know this is a difficult request for you."
