Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 496

Roseanne felt a bit sheepish, realizing her guarded demeanor wasn't as concealed as she had hoped. Nonetheless, she wasn't truly embarrassed. After all, being cautious during a first meeting is perfectly reasonable.

The elderly couple, with their wealth of experience, would surely understand this better than most.

Indeed, Geneva patted her hand reassuringly. "My dear, especially for a lovely girl like you, being cautious is wise. It's always better to be safe than sorry."

"Uh-huh."

"You mentioned my voice sounded familiar... I grew up in Pinehollow and only moved to Lumina City after graduating from high school. We probably never crossed paths before." "That's true." Geneva smiled.

Yet, for some reason, Roseanne perceived a hint of sadness and disappointment in that smile.

Neely, eager to lighten the mood, chimed in with a smile, "Well, we hadn't met before, but now that we have, let's consider it fate."

Roseanne nodded, smiling in return.

He then handed the remaining bottles, still in the bag, to Roseanne.
