Chapter 970

As autumn was wrapping up, the northern regions were already feeling the chill, but Newport was still holding onto its summer warmth. Selena was getting closer to her due date, and Everett was treating her like royalty, making sure she was comfortable and happy at all times. He was like her personal assistant, always attentive and caring.

Love really does have a way of changing people, even those who think they're immune to it.
