The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 152 The Mistress of the Smith Family

"Hey, remember, don't bother Veda unless it's really necessary. Make sure there's plenty of food and drinks for her, just in case she needs anything. Oh, and I replaced all her toiletries with new ones. It's been a while, and some of them might've expired."
