Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 135

The car halted at the entrance, and Monica’s parents were the first to step out.

Following them, Monica emerged.

The moment Monica stepped out of the car, Susan swiftly cast a glance at her.

Clearly, Monica hadn’t just thrown something on either!

Decked out in a goose–yellow dress paired with a matching headband, Monica exuded at youthful aura. The ensemble worked wonderfully to counterbalance her inherently delicate

She had even added a touch of flair to her outfit, with the hem of the dress stopping right at her ankles, giving glimpses of them as she walked–a subtle yet tantalizing detail.

Somehow, she seemed to have outshone Monica.

Monica’s parents seemed to be in a good mood.
