Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 80

According to Jane, Zoe was alone in the White Mansion with servants, his nanny got sick and went to her village to recover. As Melody and Leo weren’t in the picture, that kid was tormented beyond words. I really sympathized with Zoe, given that his living conditions should be better to grow up in.

A brilliant idea flashed through my mind. “Jane, can you call Zoe and ask him if he would like to stay at our home? Like a sleepover for a week or so?”

“What’s the matter now?”

The side effects of social media had almost taken my life last time, so I only checked the official business news noe to keep my sanity. But it was evident from Echo’s statement that I had to return to that global village.
