The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 775

Chapter 775

Damaris’s expression turned incredibly grim. She glared at him with icy disgust, her lips parting to scream every curse she knew, but she forced

the words back down.

Provoking him was pointless. It only ever ended with her suffering the

Stay calm. Just keep it together!

A flicker of something dangerous crossed Lawrence’s blue eyes, especially as he took in her unmasked revulsion. He immediately ducked his head, pressing his lips directly over her eyelids.

She shut her eyes instinctively, finally hiding that agonizing glare from

Lawrence kissed her softly. “Come on, baby. Let’s go see your present. I know you’re going to love it.”

Lawrence sat cross-legged or the carpet, completely captivated by the

gentle softening of her features. His blue eyes brimmed with a

desperate, all-consuming longing.

When would she ever look at him with that same tenderness?

He would burn the world down just to see that day.

Damaris frowned, glancing down at him. “Don’t you have a job to do? Why are you just sitting there staring?”
