The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 407 Falling Apart

Hearing Emily's response, Penelope couldn't help but feel a wave of joy.

Given Emily's current situation, Penelope had expected her to politely decline. But to her surprise, Emily agreed immediately. It seemed Penelope's initial judgment of her had been spot on!
