Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 250

My gaze faltered, and I was left speechless as I realized that the man holding me was none other than Ronan. This totally threw me off!

"You... what are you doing here? You..." I stammered, full of confusion as I quietly asked him. Could it be that he was here to eavesdrop too?

Moreover, it seemed like he had been here longer than I had. How come I had not noticed when he came out?

Upon seeing my intense stare, Ronan simply shrugged, wrapping his arms around himself, not backing down. "What do you think?" he asked, his voice tinged with annoyance. "You're too reckless. Don't ever do such risky things again!"

"How was I supposed to know it was going to rain and thunder so heavily?" I argued, feeling a bit defiant. If he could do it, why couldn't I?

"What's rain got to do with anything? Do you even know what kind of person you're dealing with? Jerome is a lot more ruthless than you think. Curiosity killed the cat, you know?" His voice grew stern, his face hardened.

I stood there, leaning against the door, staring blankly at him. He gazed back at me, our eyes locked. I felt like I was about to lose my breath.

This had never happened before. If he had dared to do this back in the day, I... I would have followed him to the ends of the earth, waiting for him, no matter how long it took, without any regrets. But now, his actions had come twelve years too late. What was he trying to achieve now? This was rude!

My mind was a whirl of protest, excitement, and regret...

His eyes lit up with a passionate glow as he slowly leaned closer. His familiar scent enveloped me, filling my nostrils.

Just when his lips were about to meet mine...
