Chapter 229 Questions

Annabelle nodded.

Layla was the one who had asked her out for dinner that night, and it was regarding the matter between Christopher and Yuliana. Although Layla did not say it, Annabelle could discern what it was about, and the former’s implication was for Annabelle to no longer disrupt Christopher’s and Yuliana’s lives.
