Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 250

My gaze faltered, and I was left speechless as I realized that the man holding me was none other than Ronan. This totally threw me off!

"You... what are you doing here? You..." I stammered, full of confusion as I quietly asked him. Could it be that he was here to eavesdrop too?

Moreover, it seemed like he had been here longer than I had. How come I had not noticed when he came out?

Upon seeing my intense stare, Ronan simply shrugged, wrapping his arms around himself, not backing down. "What do you think?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance. "You're too reckless. Don't ever do such risky things again!"

"How was I supposed to know it was going to rain and thunder so heavily?" I argued, feeling a bit defiant. If he could do it, why couldn't I?

"What's rain got to do with anything? Do you even know what kind of person you're dealing with? Jerome is a lot more ruthless than you think. Curiosity killed the cat, you know?" His voice grew stern, his face hardened.

I snorted dismissively at his words, rolling my eyes at him. Remembering the way he held me close earlier, my cheeks inexplicably flushed. I was speechless. What the hell was this?

I was still in marriage with three children, for heaven's sake. Wasn't this practically committing a sin?

I knew the scent I had smelled earlier was familiar! We had spent so much time close to each other back in the day, that scent was unmistakable.

"Hmph... Speaking of which, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you stumbled upon this by accident?" I countered, before asking curiously, "Did you hear what they were saying?"
