Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 587

Murray's face darkened instantly, "And how is that any of your business?"

Corley spread his hands and shrugged, "No business of mine, really. Just a bit curious, you know? Your new girlfriend... quite the coincidence. She happens to study at Kingswell University, happens to be in the same year as Roseanne, and even shares the same major. You sure have a knack for picking them."

Murray let out a cold laugh, "What? Got a fixation with swooping in on other people's girls now?"

"Ha, ha..." Corley couldn't help but laugh, "Don't overreact, man. We're buddies, after all. Just showing a little concern for you, that's all."

Murray chuckled sarcastically, "Concern or probing, you know exactly what you're doing."

"Oh, you caught on, huh?"

Corley didn't deny it and gave Murray a once-over, "I just can't help feeling that your new relationship happened a bit too fast. Almost like it's all an act!"

"Well, act or not, think whatever you want, just don't get in my way."

Corley raised an eyebrow, momentarily at a loss.

"I'm guessing this is all for Roseanne's benefit?"

Murray scoffed and offered no argument, "Like I said, think whatever you want."

Corley's gaze darkened, "Weren't you all about winning Roseanne back before? Why suddenly switch to someone else?"

"You're interrogating me now?"

"Just curious."

"I'm under no obligation to satisfy your curiosity."

Corley pressed, "What are you really up to?"

"Ha, getting nervous? Corley, never thought I'd see the day! You think if I can't win Roseanne back, you stand a chance? Naive! I simply came to my senses sooner than you and just happened to meet the right person. So, save your pointless probing."

"Truly given up? For that... what's her name, Autumn?"

Murray's expression turned icy, "Given your history, I'd rather not hear my girlfriend's name from your lips, got it?"

Corley realized Murray wasn't joking, and his protective stance over Grace was clear.
