The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 603

The round trip to drop them off took an hour and a half. After they left, Vivica chatted with Sheridan and Melanie for a bit before taking Chaim back to their room to wash up.

By the time she finished her own shower and got into bed, the little boy was already fast asleep. She let out a contented sigh, leaned back against the headboard, and checked the time on her phone. Figuring a certain someone should be on his way back, she gave him a call.
