My Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 84 Before The Aisle

"Why are you yawning so much?" Samuel asked, a curious look in his eyes as he glanced at me. The designers were busy checking the fit of his suit.

"You better not be caught yawning in the videos. I don't need a boring shitty groomsman," Samuel warned, scoffing.
