Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 511

Roseanne chimed in, "Would you like to try some lemon squares? I can grab one for you?"

Just as the elderly lady was about to respond, Corley's phone rang.

Whatever was said on the other end immediately darkened his expression. "Alright, I understand. Keep things under control, I'll be there as soon as I can..." he said before hanging up.

He then turned to Roseanne, apologetically, "I'm really sorry, there's an emergency at work, I have to go."

After saying this, he faced the elderly couple, "Grandma, Grandpa, let me take you home first. We can go out another day when I'm free, okay?"

"That's fine. But we haven't seen Roseanne's parents yet..." the elder trailed off.

Roseanne quickly interjected, "It's okay, you have urgent matters to attend to. We can always meet another time."

"Alright."

Madge peered outside and questioned, "Who were those two elderly folks?"

Corley's grandparents. We met them by chance at the book signing the other day, and it's such a coincidence to bump into them again
