Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1870

Harvey's gaze was filled with suspicion. Perhaps growing up in an environment devoid of security, he never expected or believed in familial bonds. Still, he longed for the kind of kinship that could be a steadfast support at any time and place.

"What else?" Toph glanced at him, smiling. "My brother always held me dear. I'm his most beloved little brother. Who else would come to rescue me if not him?"
