Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 628

After making sure Owen Reynolds was safely back at his place, fully conscious and capable of taking care of himself, Roseanne finally returned to her own home. She was sweating bullets.

Deciding to ditch her padded jacket, she couldn't tell if it was from standing too close or if the fabric was just too good at absorbing scents, but it had picked up a faint aroma of whiskey.

Grandpa's mouth twitched uncontrollably. "What are you on about? I told you to cut down on those soap operas. What's gotten into your head?"
