Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 218

I nodded once.

“Yes.”

Eli tilted his head again.

Ava frowned slightly.

“He said he wants to stay now.”

“I think he talks too much.”

Ava shot him a look.

“That’s not what he meant.”

“What? He does. He talks like he is writing a speech inside his head.”

“He said we don’t have to trust him immediately.”

That made me pause slightly.

That sentence… was careful.
