Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 520 New Year Reunion By referring himself as the older cousin of my children, Luke made it clear he'd moved past what we once had.

Luke's life had undergone a radical transformation since my rebirth a year ago. Where I once thought fate was unfair, I now see that karma keeps meticulous accounts of every debt.

Tears flowed down my cheeks. "I'm fine now. I'm sorry for worrying you. I heard you had twin boys; I haven't seen them yet."

Philippa blushed and cleared her throat. "The babies are too young to travel. Nicholas is at home taking care of them."

Feeling a bit nosy, I asked, "Philippa, you chose Nicholas...
