Love At The Wrong Table

“Darling, please pardon them. They are my friends, and not everyone is as knowledgeable as a daughter of the famed Tanner family,” Chase said while projecting an air of chivalrous charm.

Roselynn’s stomach churned in disgust upon hearing that. No one knew him better than she did. In her mind, he was even more repulsive than Jaxton in certain respects.

For one, there was his hypocrisy.

During her time in university, she had agreed to date him because the pretentious and hypocritical act he put on had fooled her.

He had sworn not to initiate or push her into having sex before marriage. He even acted all self-righteous about that oath.

However, within two days of that promise, she would catch him red-handed cheating on her by walking into the room to find him naked in bed with another woman.

That was the start of her nightmares.

She only found the idea of marriage repulsive because of all the nightmares that spawned from that relationship. It was only through Emmanuel and Mackenzie’s encouragement as well as efforts at matchmaking that she allowed herself to respond to the emotions incited by Julian’s sincerity. While she did decide to befriend him, she was still very cautious and wary about the relationship.

“Roselynn, how nice to meet you again. How have you been?” Chase asked Roselynn with a smile on his lips.

The smile would have fooled Emmanuel into thinking Chase was actually an attractive and refined gentleman if Emmanuel had not seen through Chase’s act early

“My life is good without youselynn sneered at him, unwilling to bother with fake pleasantries.

However, the awkward tension in the air did not affect Chase. Instead, he put on the look he usually like to put on, the kind that implicitly criticized the other person by showing that he was a mature man who would magnanimously tolerate and pardon their immature behavior.

“Darling, who is she?” the woman in pink asked in an agitated voice.
