A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 504

Janice's life had been far from smooth sailing.

As a woman, she didn't want Elissa to walk down the same tragic path.

Even if the man involved was her own grandson.

Rowan naturally understood the underlying meaning. It wasn't that Janice minded Elissa's pregnancy, but she feared it might cause a rift in their future marriage.

But he had never worried about that.

Compared to standing idly by as the girl he had pampered became a single mother, or watching her marry someone else...

This issue was so insignificant it barely warranted a thought.

From beginning to end, all he cared about was Elissa herself.

Rowan pressed his lips together, his tone uncharacteristically solemn. "Grandma, I'm absolutely certain. Aside from her, I've never considered marrying anyone else. To me, as long as I have her, nothing else matters."

He had said the exact same thing to Elissa a few days ago.

He just wanted her.

Janice nodded in relief. "It seems defective genes don't always get passed down. At least you and your father didn't take after him."

That "him" referred to the late master of the Murphy family, a man notorious for his wandering eye.

Rowan raised an eyebrow, simultaneously speaking his truth and coaxing a smile from the older woman. "That's only because your superior genes were powerful enough to completely obliterate his."

"You always know just what to say."

Janice scoffed fondly, then noticed his expression. "Spit it out. You need my help with something, don't you?"

"Actually, I do."

Rowan didn't hold back, casually and shamelessly making his request.

Janice frowned, jabbing a finger at him repeatedly. "You... you... wouldn't that be a bad idea? Let me think about it!"

Afraid he would sweet-talk her into agreeing, she tossed the dishes into the dishwasher, grabbed her canvas bag, and practically sprinted for the door.

That brat!

Whenever he was this sweet, he was definitely up to no good!
