Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 763

Chapter 763

Owen Reynolds kept the conversation flowing smoothly, his tone steady and playful, "Is that... a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you've got there?"

Corley just gave him a blank look.

"I've had it a few times, so I can spot one a mile away," Owen continued, seemingly oblivious to Corley's silence.

I didn't ask, but thanks for the info, Corley thought, doing his best to hide his annoyance.

Owen continued, "Roseanne's just like that, always so thoughtful, making sure everyone feels at home."

Corley forced a smile, "They say Mr. Reynolds is aloof and doesn't talk much. I'm not seeing that today."

"Depends on the company," Owen replied with a shrug. "Just like Mr. Sullivan here, who usually isn't much of a talker but seems to have plenty to say today. It's all about reciprocation, so I'm just keeping pace."

Corley just sighed internally, finding himself lost for words.

"Alright, let's get going," Roseanne said, emerging from the kitchen after putting the last sandwich in the fridge and washing a coffee cup.

She looked up to find Owen standing there. "Oh, Professor, I didn't realize you were here today."

He softened his expression for her. "Yes, I am. Heading out with Mr. Sullivan?" "Yeah, we're off to "

"We should hit the road," Corley interjected, naturally taking Roseanne's bag from her hand. "Can't park too long at the corner, or the neighbors will have something to say."

"Oh, right! See you, Professor," Roseanne waved as they headed out.
