The Assassin’s Billionaire Bodyguard – Chapter 32
Isabella took Casper for a walk around the grounds and read the text messages on her phone from her sister, sister-in-law, and Sabine. She’d seen more eggplant and peaches emojis from them asking if she and Cam had made up after their skirmish, she wasn’t sure the women in her life weren’t incapable of using actual words.
