Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 701

"What... What are you two doing?"

York Gibson stood there, frozen, holding a basin.

His eyes widened like saucers, making him look like a total goofball.

Leda Reynolds and Roseanne Cole both turned to look at him—

"Why'd you take so long? I sent you to get a basin, and you took an hour." Leda said as she took the basin from his hands. Her smile returned as she turned back to Roseanne, "I've got the warm water ready. It'll make you feel a lot better."

"Thanks, Leda~ You're the best~"

"Well then, next time don't dodge when I try to give you a kiss?"

"No way, I've been lying around all day. I haven't washed my face or brushed my hair. How can I accept a kiss from the goddess?"

Leda laughed, "I don't mind."

"......"

York stood there, basinless and dumbfounded: "Wait, what the...?"

"Uh, is this logo...?" Leda stared at the basin for a second, as if she'd seen a ghost, "Don't tell me you bought this from the Hermes store?"

"Sure did!" York lifted his chin slightly, giving a smug little huff, "What do you think? Pretty good taste, huh?"

Leda: "......"

"What's that look on your face?"

"The look of someone witnessing a sucker. You know there are stalls right outside the hospital selling these for a couple of bucks, and you went to Hermes?"

"What do you mean by 'sucker'?"

"What's more of a sucker than someone who's been fleeced? A big, fat one."

York: "......"

"Forget it, we'll make do." Leda gave the basin a disdainful glance. It was all style and no substance, not even as practical as a ten-buck plastic tub, ugh...

"Leda, you're the one who sent me to buy it! I brought it back, and now you're complaining! When have I ever run errands for anyone? And you're not even—"

"Could you zip it, Mr. Big Shot?" Leda smiled back at him.

York immediately clammed up, quiet as a mouse.

Roseanne blinked, looking back and forth between the two.

Hmm, this drama is juicy!

"What are you still standing there for?" Leda asked.

York: "Uh, otherwise?"

"Leda! Over here!"

Leda paused and turned: "Why are you still here?"

"Waiting for you, of course. Hop in." His tone was so natural, like it was the most normal thing in the world to wait for her.

"Who asked you to wait? If you're so free, go get a job."

"Come on... I've been waiting here for almost an hour, can't you just let me give you a ride?"

Leda couldn't help but laugh at his "can't you just let me" line. "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll let you give me a lift."

York was about to get out and open the door for her.

But before he could even unbuckle, Leda had already hopped in.

York: "..." Well, there goes my chance to impress.

As soon as Leda settled in, she heard the click of locks.

The doors and windows were secured.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at York: "What are you up to?"

"Heh..." York leaned in and planted a spontaneous French kiss right on her lips, effectively silencing any protests.
