He waved off Josephine’s hand and stood on his feet. “No need.”After speaking, he walked toward the bathroom, and soon came the sound of water.Josephine breathed a sigh of relief and touched her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she felt a wave of panic.She couldn't keep using this excuse for ten months s
Josephine widened her eyes in surprise, not knowing how influencers made money as she had never looked into this before."You can create your own account then post videos, sell products, and advertise. You can earn money this way," Avery explained.Josephine was stunned for a moment before asking, "

“Come back” were the only two words he sent.Josephine’s heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Avery, who was still immersed in joy, and silently put her phone back in her pocket.Avery threw an arm over her shoulder and said with a smile, “You see, Josie, you can also make money on your own. You can
His voice wasn’t loud, but Josephine was startled.Anxiously, she gestured, “I…I want to…buy something.”“Buy what?”She gulped and continued, “Clothes. I want to buy clothes for you.”He stared deep into her eyes and laughed abruptly. “Buy clothes for me?”The woman nodded.“Josie,” he called her n
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
