I didn't bother turning around, but then Liam suddenly asked, "Does your family know you're here in Napel buying a house?" I stopped in my tracks and spun around to face him.

He never loved you, and he'll never fulfill those crappy promises he made." Mom1 covered my mouth in shock. I distinctly remembered that Liam had been an orphan in my previous life.
