Missing Mrs. Lowry: The Billionaire’s Wakeup Call

Chapter 107

Both Sullivan and Megan were lost in their own thoughts.

The sound of knocking broke the silence, followed by the maid’s voice, “Dinner is served, Mr. and Mrs. Lowry. Shall I set the table now?”

Sullivan called out, “Yes, please do.”

As the maid’s footsteps faded away, Sullivan still hadn’t released Megan.

She squirmed a bit, “Didn’t you hear? Dinner’s ready. Let me up.”

Sullivan gazed at her intensely, his eyes never wavering.

Megan couldn’t guess what was on his mind. She pushed against his chest, trying to rise, but he caught her wrist and placed it back over his heart. His heartbeat was strong and thumping rhythmically beneath her palm.

Megan quickly withdrew her hand as if scalded.

With a teasing smile, Sullivan hooked his finger under her chin, “Scared of a little heartbeat, Mrs. Lowry? What’s on your mind?”

Megan couldn’t stand this kind of provocative talk. She found herself missing his no–nonsense attitude; it was painful at times, but at least it was bearable. His current softness left her feeling out of her depth.
