Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 657

"Alright," Roseanne said with a smile, nodding her head, "Then I'll be off now, Uncle and Aunt, see you later~"

Mamie quickly chimed in, "Hey, wait up! Take me with you! I'm headed that way too!"

Scales grabbed her arm, "Why are you always trying to tag along? I'll drive you later."

"But, is that okay?" Mamie was mostly worried because she had laughed too loudly earlier, and now feared Scales might take it out on her.

Scales was undeterred, "I think it's perfectly fine."

Mamie was at a loss for words.

When it was time to get in the car, Roseanne took off her scarf, and Owen naturally reached out to take it from her, to her surprise.

Corley frowned, "What about Owen? Did he drink?"

"Nope," Laird waved it off.
