Chapter 1329 Who Was Calling

But none of it mattered. Devin did not rush blindly into this decision. He had already been prepared for the opposition which he knew would come from his father.

There were other ways to ensure Mamie's place in the family.

At worst case scenario, he knew where the household registry was kept and he could steal it. It would be all he needed to marry her.

Besides, Lenny was a father too. Once his grandchild was born, he would surely open his heart and accept the child, wouldn't he?

He was a stoic man, but he was not made of stone.

A sense of foreboding quickly replaced the comfort of the silence. Who was calling? Who knew her new number as soon as she had changed it?
