Chapter 503 Maranda and Rons Marriage (1/2)
”I don't know. Ron was also rather confused when I asked him. This was why he thought pleading for Calvin would be inappropriate.” Maranda's shoulders were hunched in resignation.
”Well, don't be too worried.” Jean patted Maranda on her shoulder to comfort her,”Perhaps Calvin's mood will get better after he has fun in this trip.”
