Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 639

Roseanne nodded, "You could say that."

But Mamie couldn't help but frown, "Even though that's pretty satisfying, do you think the university will go for it? They're not fools."

"The professor said she'll handle the university. We just need to focus on our project and do our thing."

"That's awesome! It's like we're our own bosses now!" Mamie stuffed a couple of cookies into her mouth, reveling in their deliciousness.

"Ah, if only we had some hot chocolate to go with this…"

Before Mamie could finish her thought, Roseanne's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi there, delivery. Could you come out and grab your hot chocolate? I can't get in."

Roseanne was puzzled.

Hot chocolate?

She hadn't ordered any hot chocolate.

Urged again by the delivery person, Roseanne decided to go get it first and ask questions later.

Three cups of hot chocolate, steaming hot.

"Mamie," Roseanne was met with a surprised look, "You're too thoughtful, ordering our favorite hot chocolate in advance, oh my goodness…"

"It wasn't me."

What?!

Mamie was dumbfounded. "Then was it… Caley?"

Scales immediately denied, "Not me."

"Then who?"

Just then, Owen Reynolds walked in, noticing the hot chocolate in their hands and raised an eyebrow, "Seems the delivery was quicker than I expected."

Mamie gasped, "Professor, you ordered the hot chocolate?!"

Owen Reynolds, "I wasn't sure about your preferences, so I got the same for everyone."

Mamie nodded vigorously, "Delicious!"

Then Roseanne's phone rang again.

"…Okay, I'll be right out."

Three minutes later, Roseanne walked in with another delivery bag.

Corley's expression softened.

Scales quietly picked up another cup, turning to Corley, "Thanks, Mr. Sullivan."

Owen Reynolds, "Roseanne probably can't drink two cups, right?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Roseanne, who had two cups of hot chocolate in front of her.

Corley smirked, "Mine's hot."

Owen Reynolds, "Coincidence, so is mine."

Corley, "I picked Roseanne's favorite flavor."

Owen Reynolds, "Mine should be to her liking as well."

Corley, "Mine's low sugar, switched milk for the base, healthy!"

Owen Reynolds, "Another coincidence, I did the same."

So—

Whose will she choose?

Both men waited, their gazes locked on Roseanne.
