Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 215

Murray finally came to the harsh realization that Millie was far more cunning than he ever gave her credit for.

There was a time when he saw her as this pure and beautiful girl, full of innocence and joy. And what was the result?

He ended up being played for a fool, manipulated, and even lost… Anne because of her.

How could things with Roseanne have spiraled this far if it wasn't for Millie?

Thinking about this only intensified Murray's disdain for her. He couldn't bear the thought of stepping into any place she might be!

He had been crashing at the office for several days now.

Millie, too nervous to call him directly, kept using Beverley to bug him about coming home.

To appease his mother, Murray begrudgingly made his way back to the mansion.

But that was it. He was drawing the line there.

…

By the time Murray got back to the mansion, it was already 9 PM.

As he opened the door, there was Millie, attempting to take his coat.

Murray sidestepped her, making a beeline for the living room.

Millie's hands froze mid-air, and she bit her lip in a mix of frustration and hurt.

She had dressed in a light-colored, loose-fitting knitted dress, her hair cascading in front of her, giving off a gentle and appealing vibe.

Murray, however, blatantly ignored her, heading straight for Beverley. “You wanted me back, here I am.” With that said, he turned to head upstairs.

“Hold on.”

Murray stopped in his tracks, his tone flat, “I'm exhausted. I need some rest.”

Beverley frowned, clearly dissatisfied with his dismissive attitude. “Come with me, we need to talk.”

Her authoritative demeanor left little room for argument, and Murray, albeit reluctantly, followed her.
