Chapter 658 What Like Means (2/2)

There was an orchard on the villa grounds and Emily loved fresh fruits, so sh

sticky residue on her cheeks from a night of weeping.

She felt that this could not be just a simple dream. In her heart she felt the echoes of those sweet emotions of sorrow, pain and happiness...
