Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 537

Roseanne stared at the steak cut into bite-sized pieces in front of her, her expression indifferent. She wasn't here for the food; just sitting across from him was already pushing her limits. Without giving Murray a chance to interrupt, she cut straight to the chase.

"...I've pretty much got everything sorted now. All that's missing is the consent form. I brought it with me today; could you sign it?"

Murray's smile slowly faded as he watched her expression change from hopeful to resigned and finally to despondent.

"Is it so hard to have a proper meal with me?"

She was genuinely puzzled. "You were the one who suggested we talk over dinner. Now that we're eating, you don't want to talk. Are your words really that cheap?"

Caught off guard, Murray set down his knife and fork. "You want to talk? Fine, let's really talk then."

Roseanne instinctively sat up straighter.
