Chapter 1278 Such A Small Trick

Lenny answered without hesitation, "Of course. Why don't you believe my words?"

"If you just want the babies, it's no problem. Anybody can have my baby, right?"

Devin asked on the other end of the line.

"What do you mean? I don't think I like what you're trying to say."
