Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 727

After what felt like an eternity, the academic discussion finally wrapped up. Leda let out a long, relieved sigh.

"Please, next time there's one of these academic gatherings, count me out. They're so dull..." she mumbled, signaling the waiter to bring in the food.

Unsurprisingly, it was all of Roseanne's favorites!

After their meal, Leda had planned to take a stroll, but as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant, her phone buzzed with a work call. "Yeah, yeah, I get it! Will a day's delay really be the end of the world?!"

Despite her words, she hung up and rushed off to the office.

Before leaving, she turned to her brother and said, "Hey, Owen, it's Roseanne's birthday today. Make sure you take good care of her, okay? Whatever she asks!"

Owen Reynolds nodded, "Got it."

"So, where do you want to go?" Owen asked, watching Leda disappear into the crowd.

"Anywhere?" Roseanne's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Owen thought for a moment, "Within reason."

"Can we visit a place where they make synthetic colored diamonds?"
