Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 585

The moment Roseanne laid eyes on Murray at the diner near the campus, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

Back in the day, during the whole chase-and-courting phase, they'd frequent this place together. But once things became official between them, Murray's interest in the diner had waned. But that wasn't what had Roseanne's jaw dropping.

The woman Murray was cozying up to was none other than Grace?!

And by the looks of it, they seemed pretty tight. Like, couple tight.

But as the saying goes, you can't punch a smiling face. So, Roseanne responded with a polite, albeit shallow, smile. "Yeah."

And that was that.
