The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 134

Travis watched the small figure racing around the track, his emotions a tangled knot of worry and protectiveness.

He knew this lap would leave his little sister exhausted-he couldn't help but feel a pang of concern.

Tension silenced Travis. All he could do was watch her intently, silently praying nothing would go wrong.
