We are going to announce this later today. I can see that you don't get along but with time, you will learn to love one another." Bianca frowned.

Jay immediately approached her and helped her sit on her rocking chair. Annie, on the other hand, is just standing there, happily watching Ava Nicole's reaction.

I literally got engaged just over forty-eight hours ago.” “Well, I’m telling you, I’m looking at your face with the news of your engagement to one, Hailey Hollis, age twenty-eight, wedding date is still to be set,” he read in a monotone voice. “Holy shit,” I muttered, thinking Hailey was definitely moving fast.
