Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 2048

Chapter 2048

A flash of light darted across his dark eyes.

After a moment, he restored his usual calm demeanor." Well, here I am right in front of you now. Will you tell me how you plan to claim responsibility for that night?"

Isabel bit her lip. She had been thinking about this endlessly over the past two days.

Before he showed up, she even considered buying his silence with a huge cheque and tell him to forget about it, but now that she was facing him and looking at his handsome face, she realized she could not bear to hurt him and could not get the words out.

Doing that was almost certain to wound his pride and feelings.

She opted for a direct approach instead. "How do you expect me to take responsibility?"

She wore a stout, serious expression that held a strange contrast with her doll-like appearance.

Roland looked at her silently for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head close toward her.

At the same time, he cupped her chin with his palms.

Isabel could feel the warm touch of his fingers pressing against her lips. She was so close to him that her eyes widened immediately.

Her usual instinct in situations like this was to give the man a brutal slap, but now, she had grown stiff and could not move at all.

Then, Roland suddenly released her and pulled away. He looked at her solemnly and stated bluntly, ”1 want to be your boyfriend."

Huh?

Boyfriend?

He was trying to date her?

Isabel was too stunned to know how to respond to such a proposition.

After failing to receive an answer from her after a long silence, Roland frowned faintly. He asked in a slightly dejected voice, "Is that a no?"

"No.Jt’s not..." Isabel thought for a moment before stating, ’ Roland, I’m an actress."

"I know."

"I can't get into a relationship."

She was caught off guard by this gesture.

He could at least give her a hint before kissing her!

His lips were so soft. There was a comfortable warmth that poured into her through his breath.

She returned the favor and kissed him as well.

After a while, Roland let go of her. His icy expression softened uncharacteristically with a faint smile, which made him look more handsome than he already was.

Isabel nearly launched herself into his arms, but the rationale part of her knew better. She coughed and pushed away these thoughts, then told him, "It’s getting late. You should go home and rest."

Roland nodded.

He stuffed the umbrella into her hand.

The rain was getting heavier.

Isabel tried to stop him. "The hotel is right there. It'll take me only a few seconds to run in. You should take the umbrella." He refused, "It's fine. My car is right there."
