Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 350

Roseanne couldn't help but be taken aback.

First off, Owen was usually buried in his lab work at this hour, not seen anywhere else.

And there he was, playing chess with Norris, with an open planner full of notes between them.

They looked like they were having the time of their lives, as if they'd been friends for years.

"Anne, you're back?"

Hearing the noise, Norris immediately looked towards the door.

Owen's gaze quickly followed, locking eyes with Roseanne.

Their eyes met, and he chuckled, "Surprised to see me?"

"Mr. Reynolds, what are you doing here?" Roseanne, regaining her composure, changed into her slippers and walked in.

Before Owen could answer, Norris chimed in—

"This morning, when I was out with your mom, we ran into little Shaun in the stairwell, so I invited him over..."

And what a visit it turned out to be.

Norris found that no matter the topic, Owen had something to say.

Even gardening, he knew his stuff!

Then, the conversation turned to physics, Owen's forte, and in no time at all, he had completely captivated Norris.

Norris exclaimed, "Geez, the young folks are taking over!"

Owen quickly waved off the compliment, "Oh no, you're the true master here."

He wasn't just being polite.

Norris's knowledge was vast, his thoughts clear and structured, surely a result of his solid undergraduate foundation.

This didn't surprise Owen much.

What did astonish him was Norris's familiarity with the latest trends in the physics world.
