The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1039

Baber was knocked down by the force of the door swinging open, landing flat on the floor and bursting into tears.

“What are you up to, you little rascal? Snooping around, are you?” Xenia accused him loudly.

Baber, frightened and looking wronged, stammered, “I wasn’t peeping…”

She gave Baber a vicious kick, then snapped at him, “You’re nothing but trouble! Ever since we adopted you, everything’s been going wrong. We should’ve never taken you in. You’re a disaster!”

Baber doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach.
