Chapter 267

Vivienne was in a foul mood. She paid no attention to the conversation happening around her.

With that she turned and left.

‘Til walk with you” Percival stood and followed as his hand found hers in a couple of strides.

Her fingers were icy. They felt like a winter’s frostbite that pierced her to the bone

Vivienne paused “Are you sure it’s cobra grass?”
