Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 659

Then he smiled. 

“No, I’m not blaming you.” 

He stood up from the chair. 

“Are you hungry? You said the bistro on Eighth, right? Let’s go.” 

He was already heading for the door. 

Gwen trotted to catch up with him. 

She knew he didn’t like to be kept waiting 

When they rode the litt down, she was silent, but her mind was whiring- 

Owen used to think she was good at reading people. 

After all, the Gamer family dealt with folls from all walks of life, 

But she could never get a clear read on Austyn. 

His face, always insertable, gave away nothing 

It made him a formidable player at the negotiating table, but also made him a battling puzzle for his fiancée 

She could never tell what he was thinking or feeling. 

One minute, he was stem with her, admonishing her for holding out on him 

But the next instant, he was smaling and going out to dinner with her. 

Gwen stole curious, uneasy glances at the tall, broad–shouldered man, 

As long as their union wasn’t made official, she would always live in this state of apprehension 

The wedding day couldn’t get here fast enough. 

D’Connor’s Pib. 

Kira løssed back another glass of vedla spritz and gestured at the bartender for one mate, 

It was her second drink of the night, and they had just been there for fifteen minutes. 

| Day Cant Get Her Fast Enough 

“Kira, what’s going on?”” 

Bony was worried about his colleague. 

They were done with their interviews in the aftemoon 

The flight back to Stamford was the next morning. 

When Rony invited Kira for a drink, he had done it purely out of courtesy. 

He had not really expected Kita to say yes, since she habitually tumed down all her colleagues‘ invitations for post–work socialisation 

In fact, this was the first time in four years she was visiting a pub. 

Manuel had gone to chat up a lovely–looking twentysomething, leaving Kiraand Rony alone at the bar. 

Rony was two years younger than Klea 

His babyface often hindered instead of helped him with the ladies. 

He matched the glass out of sira’s hand before she could puzzle down her third drink. 

*Kira, talk to me. Something’s obviously bothering you. 

me! 

“Nothing’s bothering m 

Kira made no move to reclaim her glass. 

She simply beckoned at the bartender for another one 

“Come on. Whatever it is, I promise I won’t tell anyone. It’s just between you and me.” 

Kita glanced at Rony. Can ask you something?‘ 

“Sure, anything Tire away‘ 

“Who are you working for?‘ 

Rony’s mouth hung open. 

He blinked. 

“Wh–what? What do you mean? I work for Globe Today, of course, same as you.‘ 

He scratched the back of his head and covered up his unease with a laugh. “You must be getting tipsy.” 

Kim said nothing. 

She returned to her drink 

Bony squirmed on his harstool. 

He was about to say something else when Kira’s phone beat him to it. 

Kira jumped off the stool and walked to a quiet spot before latting ‘Answer.” 

Rony stared at her back, feeling nervous, 

Was she getting suspicious of him? 

“Hello.! 

“You’re not answering your doorbell, “Isabel said. 

“I’m not home.” 

“No wonder,” Isabel sighed. ‘I’m standing right outside your apartment‘ 

After Austyn disappeared, kira visited Luca’s house almost every week for the first year, trying to badger the police captain into launching another investigation Her requests were denied repeatedly
