Chapter 205 Planting Strawberries

Nora remained silent for a moment, her hands tightly gripping the table, clearly inexperienced in such

matters.

But she was desperate for money, and after seeing the man’s photos and information, she couldn’t deny. that the man was appealing enough to stir her heart.
