The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0263

Nicholas’s mouth was hot on mine. His arms wrapped around my waist, holding me closely. I clutched

be jealous even if I wore a potato sack.”

stay here, after all. Stay with Elva. Julian and I can snoop around Terry’s mansion. You don’t need to

endanger yourself.”

I shook my head. “You know I can’t do that. Even if I wanted to. I had such a poor showing in the last

Nicholas frowned deeply but he made no further remarks. Instead, he stepped back from me and turned

on the lights to the garage. Taking my hand, he led me through the various fancy cars until we reached a
