The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 230

“Did you also see Thaddeus name?” Cordelia looked up with confusion etched all over her face. I thought I was seeing things.”

Tears kept streaming down Cordelia’s face. “Dorian, we can never repay Vivienne”

Dorian gently patted her head and whispered. “Then let’s just love her more in the future. I will work hard to build up my career so we can move to Rivenwood, where we can take care of her.”

“Okay” Cordelia said with a smile.

“Your boss gave you a week off. You’re not in a hurry to leave, are you?” Cordelia didn’t answer but glared at her.
