Chapter 49

The bed felt so comfortable that Ava snuggled in further when she slowly started to wake. She couldn’t remember the last time she slept so well. li feh like she’d been hit with a dose of magic to get rid of all her tiredness and worry.

All because what Her boyfriend had been making advances on her!

She covered herself again and met Ezekiel’s gaze head on, not even bothering to pretend she was submissive in any way. This was all his fanilt. “That’s not what I asked. Why was 1 in your bed?” she repeated coldly.

I already answered that question, Ava. Unless you wanted to sleep down the hall in the guest room, in a house that Claire probably knows better than I do because she was always here”

Was. He said was. Had he dumped Claire, then? She didn’t want to feel anything about that, but she couldn’t help the intense rush of satisfaction that filled her body.
