Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 109

Upon hearing that, Murray's expression softened slightly, but then it hardened again as she continued, "You mean nothing to me."

"It's getting late. If you're going to keep acting crazy, I’ll have to call the butler to send security over."

Murray tried to say, "Anne..."

"I'm counting to three. Three, two..." Roseanne pulled out her phone and was already on the dial screen. All she had to do was press a button, and the butler would appear instantly.

Frustrated but helpless, Murray left with a huff, "I'll come back for you tomorrow."

With that, he stormed off.

Millie quietly observed the scene from a nearby restaurant patio, her expression and eyes hidden in the darkness.

Dawn was breaking when Leda returned the following day.

Roseanne poured herself a glass of milk and grabbed a slice of toast, barely taking a few bites before she heard the lock disengaging.

Leda had changed into a new dress and was humming a tune cheerfully.

Seeing the sandwich on the table, Leda grabbed a piece, savoring the perfectly toasted, soft, and crispy bread before reaching for a second slice.

Roseanne had heard about it. Though intimidated by the pressure and the possible claustrophobia underwater, her curiosity and love for the ocean won out, but she agreed to go with Leda.

The instructor she booked was well-regarded locally and known for his humor and patience. When he saw his clients were two beautiful ladies, he went out of his way to be thorough and attentive.

Before diving, he methodically told the dos and don'ts, including underwater hand signals and how to use the gear. Besides, there was some basic training before getting into the water.

Leda had dived a few times before and was already familiar with the routine. It was a whole new experience for Roseanne, so she listened more attentively.

The instructor tapped her arm when she made a mistake with the hand signals. "Hey, you're too tense. Relax. Diving will show you a different side of the ocean's allure. Just imagine. The underwater world is vibrant and colorful, where you can quietly feel the presence of the sea. It's a beautiful thing."
