Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1203

Conner gave a little smile, "My Annie is just like your wife-always on high alert. She gets suspicious before anyone even thinks of following her." His face turned somber, a hint of bitterness showing through. "Andre, do you think Annie would come with me to pay respects to my mom?"

Annie had been busy lately. Just as she was about to head out for duty, she noticed a familiar car parked outside. By now, all her colleagues recognized her fiancé's car.

With everyone else heading out, Annie wandered over to the back. That's when Conner stepped out and called her, "Annie."

"What's up?" she asked.
