I Don't Need a Love That's Late
No one said a single word as Roderick stared at me, a flicker of disbelief in his eyes.
Just as Francesca was about to say something, he stepped toward me and asked, "Where's your husband?"
I dropped my gaze before answering, "He had work, so he couldn't make it."
The room immediately buzzed with whispers, followed by soft, stifled laughter. Nevertheless, no one dared go too far. At least, not with Roderick there.
"And he just let you travel all this way alone? Doesn't he care that something might happen to you?" he questioned, his expression darkening.
