Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 713

Silver knew Roseanne lived in the same apartment building, but she never imagined she and Owen Reynolds were literally neighbors across the hall!

No wonder there was no sign of a woman in her son's apartment...

Living this close, they could move in together anytime they wanted. Heck, they could just step outside their doors, take a few steps, and be on each other's turf for a date.

How was she supposed to find any clues like this?

With that thought, Silver took a good look at Roseanne.

From top to bottom, head to toe.

Silver had mentally prepared herself for a surprise, but it was Roseanne who seemed genuinely taken aback.

This woman emerging from Professor Reynolds' apartment was the same wealthy lady who had once attended her yoga class and whom she'd bumped into in the hallway?

What was her connection to Mr. Reynolds, exactly?

At that moment, Owen Reynolds emerged from his apartment, calling out, "Mom, you forgot your purse—"

Wait, what?! Mom?!

Roseanne was shocked.

The three of them stood there in silence, the air thick with awkward tension.

Roseanne could sense a hint of scrutiny and guardedness in Silver's gaze.

Silver, on the other hand, felt that the young woman in front of her didn't hold her in much regard.

This stirred a slight discontent in her heart, though she kept her face composed.

Owen was the first to break the silence, unaware that Silver and Roseanne had crossed paths before. Seeing as they were here now, he took the opportunity to introduce them.

"Mom, this is my neighbor and friend, Roseanne Cole."

"Roseanne, this is my mom."

Hearing her son’s words, Silver gave Roseanne a nod that was half-smile, half-inquisitive.

Roseanne, maintaining her poise, simply said, "Hello."

And then... nothing more.

Silver was taken aback.

Some people, the kinder you are to them, the more they take advantage, mistaking your kindness for weakness.

After their breakup, Roseanne gradually realized:

You can't make everyone like you, so don't force yourself to like everyone.

Everyone has their preferences, their likes and dislikes.

Accept others' "dislike" with grace; allow yourself to "dislike" as well, and respect that.

Interpersonal relationships thrive on chemistry, and clearly, she and Mrs. Reynolds weren't exactly clicking today.

So, she decided to stick to basic politeness, treating her just like any other stranger she met for the first time.

"Professor, I’ll leave you two to it. Goodbye."

With that, she closed the door with a polite smile.

Silver stared at the door slowly closing in her face, her eyes wide in disbelief—

She hadn't even left yet, and this girl had just shut the door on her?!
