Chapter 189

The next few days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye . Daisy's presence was scarce and not felt when she was around .

”What are you talking about?” I asked, playing the innocent flower .

”You know what I am talking about, Mia! Don't act so coy!” I pulled the cell phone away from my ear to protect it from his loud scream .
