Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1465

Grandma Aubree felt nothing but sympathy for her daughter, but she never lost her sense. "Don't worry, I won't breathe a word."

Aaron chatted beside him. "With my wife gone, I haven't slept right—I keep dreaming about her. Luckily, my son's kept me company. I always thought Cooper was still a kid, but these past few days, I've realized he's got a mind of his own. Some of his ideas really make you think."
