Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 711

As Roseanne browsed through the car dealership, Owen Reynolds was right beside her, his presence solid and comforting. He didn't say much, but whenever Roseanne overlooked something, he was quick to point it out with gentle reminders.

Who goes to such lengths if they're just friends?

And since they walked in, Owen's gaze never left Roseanne, filled with a kind of focus and care that was impossible to feign. It was the same look Kathleen Rodriguez had seen on newlywed couples before.

Even if they weren't newlyweds, they were definitely a pair!

That's why the salesgirl couldn't help but ask.

Roseanne was no stranger to these misunderstandings. Avoiding Owen's eyes, she waved her hand dismissively, "No, no, you've got it all wrong."

The salesgirl quickly apologized.

Owen stayed silent, but his eyes remained soft as they rested on Roseanne.

The salesgirl looked puzzled. Really not a couple?
