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.

When did this happen?

It wasn't that Roseanne was hung up on her ex and itching to dig into his love life. It's just...

Come on, who wouldn't be curious about such juicy gossip?

This kind of drama would have piqued Roseanne's interest regardless of who was involved.

After all...

You see a juicy piece of gossip, and it's hard not to jump right in!

Grace caught Murray's gaze drifting over to Roseanne and immediately flashed a bright smile as she approached with her beau in tow. "What a coincidence, Roseanne! Didn't expect to bump into you here." Roseanne was puzzled. Were they that close? Dropping first names already?

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