Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 125

In the cozy living room, Liliana pulled Finnian down onto the couch, wrapping her arms around his. With a playfully sweet tone, she said, "After that fall into the water, the doctor advised me to stay in bed and rest. But I felt okay, so I insisted on going back to the film set.
