Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 704

Leda found herself momentarily lost in York's deep, dark eyes. It was as if they held secrets she couldn't quite decipher, and for a brief second, the world around her seemed to pause.

Just then, Nola and Katrina returned from the restroom, their laughter cutting through the tension like a knife through butter.

Leda quickly shook York's hand off her own, and he retreated to his seat with impressive speed.

Katrina, sensing the strangely charged atmosphere, hesitated before asking, "You guys... everything okay?"

York remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on Leda.

It was clear he was waiting for her to make a statement.

Taking a deep breath, Leda smiled, "Oh, it's nothing. We're just fine."

And just like that, the two transitioned from being business partners who had

stumbled into a relationship to an open couple with an unspoken understanding.

...

Snapping back to the present, Leda pushed York away as he leaned in for

another kiss. "Seriously? Can you just drive already?"

"Come on, just one more kiss! I can't get enough..."

Leda rolled her eyes. "York, you're more clingy than Buttercup!"
