Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927 Ring Shopping 

My own dad,” she muttered under her breath, pressing her lips together. 

Harvey started the engine 

“Where are we going?” she asked./ 

“To look at engagement rings.” 

“Isn’t everything closed by now?” 

“Not where we’re going. I made an appointment.” 

She stole a glance at him. “Do you… want to move in together?” 

Harvey let out a dry, soft laugh. “Asking a guy if he wants to live together is pretty much a rhetorical question.” 

Her cheeks flushed. Okay, fair point. What guy wouldn’t? 

“The better question,” he added, the corner of his mouth lifting again, “is whether I’m taking you home tonight.” 

“So…” Dolores trailed off, not daring to finish. 

Never mind. She wasn’t going to ask. 

“I will take you home,” he said, his tone dipping slightly. “But it’s not what I really want.” 

“Well, that’s helpful,” she managed, unsure how to respond. 

The first part made him sound considerate. The second part-that was clearly what he actually meant. 

Harvey glanced over. “So, will you come back with me?” 

She mumbled, “Back where?” 

“To live together.” 

“No.” 

Harvey laughed openly this time and gave a small, conceding nod. 

Dolores subtly touched her cheek-it was burning. 

Deciding to ease up, Harvey slowed the car and pulled over along a quiet, tree-lined street. 

He stepped out, and a cool night breeze swept in. Dolores tugged her shawl tighter and shrank back slightly. 

Harvey walked around from the back of the car holding a pair of soft cotton slippers. He came up to her side and crouched down 

“When did you get these?” she asked. 

“Had them brought over while you were finishing your ice cream earlier.” 

He held her ankle gently, his thumb brushing lightly over a small scrape. 

Holding her felt like holding something small and quietly alivé. 

“Ahem.” A deliberate cough came from nearby. 

Dolores jumped back and turned away, embarrassed. 

Harvey shot Jane an unmistakable look of irritation. 

Jane raised her hands innocently. “Didn’t mean to interrupt, but you two are putting on quite the show right outside my store. And… you’ve got an audience inside.” 

He glanced through the glass storefront and spotted Chelsea and Sebastian standing near one of the displays. 

He paused, his eyes dropping to their lightly joined hands. 

Chelsea immediately let go and mumbled something quickly to Sebastian. 

Jane slipped back inside. 

Harvey led Dolores–whose face was still flushed-through the door into the softly lit jeweler’s. 

“Hey, Harvey,” Chelsea said, sounding like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar as she took a smali step away from Sebastian. 

Harvey’s gaze moved to Sebastian. “You work fast.” 

As far as he remembered, Sebastian and Chelsea had only met at Harold’s wedding. And now here they were, holding hands and browsing rings together.
