Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 571

"We could be little Matty's parents. I can also be your Mrs. Bennett and the lady of the Bennett family."

If some things couldn't go her way or be changed, the only thing she could do was protect her heart. She dared not think back on what happened three years ago, for even the thought of it tore her heart to pieces. Sometimes, she would wake up from nightmares, her heart in excruciating pain-a heartbreak that nearly cost her half her life. She was scared.
