Chapter 88

In the days to come, the scar on her palm would likely continue to fade, much like what had happened between her and Jonathan. With time, it would all become less prominent, almost as if nothing had ever happened.

Before she could take more than a step, his hand abruptly rose, barring her path. His phoenix-like eyes fixed on her, veiled in an enigmatic gaze that left Rosalie unable to decipher his intentions.

“I’m not accustomed to being indebted to anyone, so I must treat you to a meal,” he insisted firmly, his tone leaving no room for refusal, and his gaze deepened.
