Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 519 No Second Chances This is the first New Year for our family of four.

The moment felt surreal, like living in a dream. Watching my two beautiful babies lying in bed, I could feel their warmth and smell their faint milky scent. They giggled as I got closer.
