Back in Time: Unshackling From Love (Mikayla Davidson) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Mikayla refrained herself. 

She stood firm. She was determined not to lose herself in his charm. 

Mikayla glanced at Jerome coldly. 

“What are you doing standing here? You scared me!” 

w are you 

Jerome said gently, unfazed, “Didn’t you send Grandma off? here? I’ve been looking for you.” 

Mikayla observed Jerome’s demeanor as he spoke. She was sure that he was 

under the influence. 

Jerome was assertive in nature. Despite being sluggish, he would never utter

forcefully shoved him away. 

Mikayla found the word “Jay” to be ironic. 

She had trailed after him, calling him “Jay“. But had he ever paid attention?
