Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 929

"I'm just trying to figure out what kind of divine blessing you've got going on," Lena teased, her eyes twinkling. "You're like some reincarnated Goddess of Wealth-everything you touch turns to gold." Her words made Keira laugh, and she didn't bother with modesty. "It's true, I'm under divine favor. Blessed by the Bodhisattva! Not only do things go my way, but anyone who sticks around me prospers too." "Really? Then I'm clinging to your golden coattails. By the way, when's your grand opening?

Keira shrugged. "Fine, we'll do it if it makes you guys happy."

"Look at you, acting all reluctant. You've clearly been spoiled by Hayden," Lena teased with a playful grin.
