Chapter 57- darling
Tiffany was also very happy to hear that Karl had returned and readily agreed to Linda’s matchmaking plans.
Their daughter Lilian was 23 this year and would soon be 24 after the New Year. Tiffany hoped her daughter could find a reliable partner to date first. Marriage wasn’t urgent—she thought the two should take their time to get to know each other, and after a year or two of getting along well, if they both felt the other was the right one, then they could marry.

It wasn’t too serious, so she didn’t immediately get out, instead leaning over the wheel, rubbing her chest in pain. Even though those soft curves were usually supple, getting hit like this really hurt. She wondered if there would be a bruise.
Suddenly, knock knock knock—
