When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367 A Dangerous New Player

The Haynes family had strict rules, and especially for Stone – even at his age, he didn’t go easy when it came to discipline.

To be honest, Mateo was scared to death, but thinking about how Stone had gotten dragged into this because of him, he could only grit his teeth and say, “I’ll go back with you and explain everything to Mr. Haynes.”
