Chapter 247 Same Face

• “Seriously… is this real? Or some kind of setup to trap me?” His tone was teasing, but disbelief flickered beneath it. “You girls watch too many melodramas. Using a baby to threaten a man—don’t you think that’s a little immature?”
• Natalia felt her heart splinter. She had already seen the truth; she hadn’t been holding on to hope anyway. No matter how cruel Alexander’s words were, she told herself it was only natural. She lifted her glass, took a small sip, and spoke softly, a faint, ironic smile on her lips.
