His Only Antidote by Shirley Owen

Chapter 8

“You never brought a girl with you, I don’t want to push you too hard, but I don’t want you to miss a good girl. I like Nola a lot. The Grayson family needs a sensible, innocent, and kind daughter–in–law. Her ability is not the key point. I’ll be happy for you if you meet someone you love.”

Nola followed him but said nothing.

She had shown her ability to Elvis, and she should leave more space for him to think it over.

None of them spoke in the RV, and the silence and suppression aura once again filled the RV. Sitting beside Elvis, Nola could clearly feel his cold vibe.
