Chapter 107

The car glided into the serene lanes of Maplewood Estates, the gentle hum of its engine breaking the silence of the winter morning.

Mila parked by the entrance, the path lined with glowing fairy lights. From the trunk, she retrieved two crates of exotic fruits and made her way across the street to the neighboring villa.

She knocked on the door, a slight blush coloring her cheeks as she handed over the fruits.

Fortunately, Howard accepted the fruits with a warm smile, expressing his gratitude before graciously receiving the gift.
