Out of Ashes Into His Heart novel Chapter 80

But if it were someone like me, who's been divorced and was even carrying her ex-husband's child, I definitely wouldn't pass Rose's test.

"Alright, fair enough." I finally gave in. "I'll go to Drixmont with you and play my part."

Tom smiled. "Deal."

...

I flew to Drixmont with Tom the next morning.

This was my first time in Drixmont.

As the plane landed at Khester International Airport, Tom and I weaved through the bustling crowd, experiencing the city's charm. It was so different from Fuvine.

Tom was rarely dressed so formally. He wore a well-tailored gray suit that made him look tall and lean, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

He didn't wear a tie, and two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing his prominent Adam's apple and part of his collarbone. He had this wild and carefree air about him. As he walked past, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

"Are you tired? Or hungry?"

Tom turned to look at me as we neared the exit. "Do you want to grab a bite before we go?"

I quickly shook my head. "No need. I'm not hungry."

Tom smiled. "Someone will probably come to pick us up once we leave the airport. It's time to get into character now."

I instantly perked up at his words and nodded quickly. "Don't worry, Tom. I'm ready."

Tom chuckled. The next moment, he reached out and took my hand. I was startled by his gesture and instinctively tried to pull away.

"Is this what you mean by being ready?"
