When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0364

“Let me tell you about this golden enamel plate… and this silver coral necklace…”

His voice filled the entire hallway.

Mindy, rarely seeing him so animated and childlike, couldn’t help but smile. Miranda acted as the perfect listener, only responding when necessary.

The three of them laughed and chatted as they climbed to the seventh floor. Miranda pulled out her key and was about to open the door when the door across from theirs opened.
