Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 714

Owen Reynolds didn't see anything wrong with closing the door because, well, he was about to do the same.

"Wait... what are you doing?" Silver abruptly grabbed the doorknob.

Owen looked puzzled. "Aren't you heading back?"

"I haven't even left yet and you're closing the door?!"

She said this so loudly, it was hard to tell if she was questioning Owen or just venting her frustration to the universe.

Owen was bewildered. "But you're just about to leave, right? If I don't close the door, all the heat will escape."

Silver was speechless.

"Drive safe on your way back. The roads are slippery with all this snow."

With that, he handed her the bag and shut the door behind him.

Silver was so angry she almost stomped her heels into the ground.

These people, honestly!

Even her own son!

Might as well have had a roast beef sandwich instead!
