Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 209

Isadora liked to think that things with Magnus were really, truly over.

He was the one who showed up out of the blue today.

He was the one rambling on about forgiveness, as if she'd asked him to confess and beg for her pardon.

He just happened to walk in at the wrong moment.

Isadora considered her options, deciding it was best to start with something neutral to ease the tension in the car.

"So, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Victor glanced up at her, his voice cool and detached. “I had a feeling someone was sneaking snacks behind my back this morning, so I came to see for myself. Turns out my girlfriend's got quite a few tricks up her sleeve."

Isadora pressed her fingers to her temple, exasperated. "Victor, could you please just say what you mean?"

A mocking smirk tugged at his lips. "Why? Am I not as gentle as he is?"

She met his gaze, her voice steady. "No matter how much I try to deny it, Magnus was my boyfriend once. If that bothers you, there's nothing I can do about it."
