Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 727

After what felt like an eternity, the academic discussion finally wrapped up. Leda let out a long, relieved sigh.

"Please, next time there's one of these academic gatherings, count me out. They're so dull..." she mumbled, signaling the waiter to bring in the food.

Unsurprisingly, it was all of Roseanne's favorites!

After their meal, Leda had planned to take a stroll, but as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, her phone buzzed with a work call. "Yeah, yeah, I get it! Will a day's delay really be the end of the world?!"

Despite her words, she hung up and rushed off to the office.

Before leaving, she turned to her brother and said, "Hey, Owen, it's Roseanne's birthday today. Make sure you take good care of her, okay? Whatever she asks!"

Owen Reynolds nodded, "Got it."

"So, where do you want to go?" Owen asked, watching Leda disappear into the crowd.

"Anywhere?" Roseanne's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Owen thought for a moment, "Within reason."

"Can we visit a place where they make synthetic colored diamonds?"

"Are you sure that's where you want to go?"

"Absolutely!"

"Alright then."

Roseanne expected a lab or a workshop, but to her surprise, Owen took her to a factory.

"Hey, Owen! Back again?" The security guard at the entrance greeted him warmly.

"Hey Gary, good afternoon. Did you have lunch yet?"

"Yeah, I had lunch! The cafeteria had some amazing beef stew today! What brings you here? Didn't you finish with the colored diamonds? Your girlfriend liked them, right?"

Owen cleared his throat awkwardly, a bit flustered.

Roseanne pressed her lips together, trying not to laugh.
