Chapter 156: Tarnish His Reputation

Alex felt goosebumps rise all over his body as he stood still with Buddy in his arms, staring at the lady standing by his gate and looking back at him.

Although it had been over twenty years since he last set eyes on her, somehow, he still recognized her.

It seemed like, unlike his father, the years had been fair to her. She still looked just as beautiful as she had always been, even though from where he stood, he could see some gray hairs in her beautiful jet-black hair.
