A Deserving Slap

Avery's smile widened, feeling a bit proud to have elicited such a reaction from Zevian. Out of all the people who had pestered her to reveal who this "Grace" was, his family topped the list. Evelyn had recently renovated the entire Reign mansion and Zevian's house, with unique designs that had particularly awed his parents, Rosalind and Jonathan Reign. Even Zevian secretly admired her work for bringing life back to this once-dead home.
