Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 500

"Really, it's fine, I..." Owen hesitated, "I have someone I like."

"What?!" Norris's eyes lit up instantly. "For real? Did you confess? Why aren't you two together yet?"

The dreaded triple question barrage.

Owen: "..." He should have known better than to answer.

The group parted ways at the doorstep.

Owen turned left, unlocking his door to head inside, while the family of three moved right. Madge smiled her thanks to him—

"Owen, you've really outdone yourself today."

"Mrs. Cole, you're too kind. Getting your autographed book today was a win for me."

That one line had Madge grinning from ear to ear.

Roseanne went to take a shower.

As usual, she tied her hair up and donned a shower cap to keep it dry. But reaching behind her, she felt only the hair clip, belatedly realizing her hair was already done up. Staring at her reflection, she shook her head vigorously, but the clip didn't budge.

Wow—

That skill was impressive.

But why couldn't she master it herself?

It made no sense... Unscientific...

Frustrating!

After freshening up, Madge and Norris retired to their room, lying in bed with the lights on, chatting away.

It was then that Stoner's message came through.

[Ms. Madge, congratulations!]

[Seven Days hit a new sales record today, and several film studios have reached out to me, expressing interest in acquiring the adaptation rights for the book.]

[Just got off the phone with the publisher 30 minutes ago; our first print run has sold out, and the factory is working overtime on a new batch. Also, your second royalty payment has been processed, I'll transfer it to you shortly.]

[I was going to call, but considering you might be resting at this hour, thought a message would be better. I could have waited till tomorrow, but I'm just too excited haha.]

Reading the message, Madge couldn't help but wrap her arms around her husband in sheer joy.
