Chapter 317

Chapter 317

I was struck dumb and couldn’t answer Russel’s question to save my life.

Even though only a couple of minutes had passed, it felt like a bloody eternity.

While waiting for Neil to make a move, Russel suddenly leaned in and bit my neck, leaving a hickey on purpose. He gave me this complicated yet helpless look before getting up to open the door

Some of the tension inside me eased up, and at that moment, I just gave up resisting.

As for what happened next, it was a complete blur. When I came around, I was back in Sapphire River Community, all prim and proper with nothing amiss.

Hannah was by my side. The moment she saw me wake up, she immediately asked, “Ms. Finch, you awake? You feeling alright?”
