Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 717

Roseanne was taken aback.

Before she could even muster a word of protest, Owen Reynolds had already slipped off her shoes.

And then her socks...

She glanced down at Owen, whose intense focus made him look like he was conducting a critically important experiment.

Roseanne’s breath hitched, and her heart began to race.

She had never really pondered why Owen Reynolds was so kind to her.

Maybe it was because he was genuinely a nice person, treating everyone with the same sincerity.

But here, in this moment, she had to admit that the professor's kindness towards her felt different.

No matter how good or sincere he was, he wouldn’t go to such lengths for just anyone.

Having removed her shoes and socks, Owen gently took hold of her ankle as per Mr. Carter’s instructions.

His hands were cool to the touch, and when his fingertips brushed against the top of her foot, it was as if an electric current passed between them.

Both of their hearts skipped a beat.

The skin under his fingers was soft and smooth, and Owen swallowed hard, struggling to suppress the emotions surging within him.

Roseanne couldn’t quite describe the sensation—it was ticklish and warm, like a burn that she wasn’t sure came from him or from herself.

Instinctively, she wanted to pull her foot back, but remembering Mr. Carter’s words, she forced herself to stay still.

Their expressions must have been quite peculiar because even the lady organizing the herbs nearby couldn’t help but take a curious glance.

“It’s a rare sight today, seeing Owen so close without fainting!”
