Chapter 1314 Surrounded By Paparazzi (1/2)

Although the news of Darren's return had not spread among the public, it had still attracted a lot of people's attention.

Apart from Taylor, another uninvited guest visited Darren's house today.

Although Nora would feel her skin crawl with goosebumps and struggle to keep from trembling every time she even thought of Darren, she had come here for Carlos's sake.
