Divorce Him, Then Dazzle novel Chapter 239

The café was already quite peaceful.

Everyone spoke in hushed tones to avoid disturbing the other patrons.

It wasn't dead silent, especially with the soft acoustic music playing overhead.

But the second Camilla asked that question, Lambert's head snapped up, his eyes locking onto hers.

In that split second, the entire world seemed to plunge into absolute silence.

Camilla couldn't even begin to describe the sheer intensity of his gaze.

He had striking eyes—beautifully shaped, an intoxicatingly deep shade of obsidian.

As he stared at her, an involuntary softness bloomed deep within her chest.

The ambient noise faded completely, leaving her mind frighteningly empty.

She felt as though she were drowning in the dark, tumultuous ocean of his eyes.

It felt like an eternity before his ice-cold voice finally pierced through the trance.

He demanded, "What is that supposed to mean?"

An arctic chill seized Camilla's heart, freezing her down to her very soul.

She had never, ever heard Lambert use such a bone-chilling tone.

Panic seized her. She recoiled, utterly terrified before she had even fully unleashed his wrath.

But she had already chosen this path. There was no turning back now.

She slammed the door to her heart shut, refusing to give anyone the power to destroy her again.

And... she viciously severed the pathetic, forbidden feelings that never should have taken root in the first place.

"Do you really need me to spell it out for you?"

"Fine. Since you want to play the perfect gentleman, I'll be the one to say it."

"I admit that when I wasn't in my right mind, I overstepped my bounds with you. That was my fault."

"And it's... human nature that you might be curious about my body after that."

"But I am telling you plainly, Mr. White—if you're looking for someone to play a romance game with, you've got the wrong girl."

"When I said I hated you, I meant it from the bottom of my heart. I am entirely rejecting any possibility of a physical relationship with you."

"Why do you keep pushing this? We are both adults. Can't we just leave each other a shred of dignity?"
