Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 274

Leaning Into Colin’s embrace, I deliberately brought up my pregnancy again, just to rile Henry up.

Even if Colin wasn’t around, there was still our baby.

“Sir, ma’am.” Eric’s car was parked just beside us, and he opened the door, ushering us in.

“He is…” I whispered as we got into the car.

“Bodyguard.” The man himself answered my question before Colin could.

“His name is Bran. Eric adopted him. He’s in charge of our protection,” Colin whispered back to me.
