The Lost Heiress 327

Chapter 327 Not Quite Right

Only then did Jonathan suddenly remember–there was now a child in the house. He furrowed his brows in mild frustration, already weighing the idea of sending Dora back to Quinn. Quinn’s health had improved significantly. It was time to return Dora to her mother. That way, no one would disturb their nights anymore.
