Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 230

The two of them were in the thick of a heated exchange when Dylan cut in, "If there's nothing pressing, I'm heading out."

Jackson took a deep breath, pointing an accusing finger right at him. "Just look at him, would you? We mention girls, and he's ready to bolt. You think he's waiting on someone? It's a wonder he's not hitched to his computer already. I bet he'll spend his days hugging his piles of cash."

Dylan turned away, not even bothering to respond. Clara found the whole situation amusing as the door to the private room clicked shut behind them.

Dylan caught her soft laughter and felt a bit miffed. "Is it that funny?" he asked, the words almost grinding out through gritted teeth.

Clara's laughter came to an abrupt halt. "I just think Jackson made a good point. But there's nothing wrong with the way you are. It's rare to find someone like you these days."

Someone that’s genuine in love, willing to wait patiently for years.

Dylan lowered his eyelashes, staying silent. Clara wheeled him out, and they passed by several people who nodded and greeted Dylan with respect. He barely acknowledged them, lost in his own thoughts.

Once in the car, Clara was about to hit the road when he mentioned, "I'm a bit hungry."

Her boss was hungry, so naturally, she had to come up with a solution. But all the fancy restaurants needed reservations, and she doubted Dylan would be up for a casual spot.
