Is he trying to leave me to freeze to death?’ Sylvia had the urge to leave, but whenever she closed her eyes, she saw Isabel and Liam’s adorable faces smiling at her.

It was the noise of a pair of leather shoes stepping on the concrete ground. Sylvia looked up to see a tall figure in a well-manicured suit coming toward her in the heavy rain. However, her consciousness grew weak, and she thought she was hallucinating, so she shut her eyes for a moment.
