Chapter 0894

Katherine was nothing like the woman Alden had grown up with.

The tired, worn-out mother he remembered no longer existed.

Now, she was radiant-her once fiery red hair replaced with sleek, golden blonde waves. Her face was smooth, free of any visible signs of aging. Whether it was creams, surgery, or something else, Alden didn't ask.
