Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 227

When Isadora heard those words, she didn't feel the happiness she expected.

Instead, a strange heaviness settled in her chest.

But this was exactly what she'd asked for.

She glanced at the man beside her. His handsome, flawless face was as impassive as ever, eyes cool and distant.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. "What made you change your mind all of a sudden?"

Victor cast her a lazy glance. "You don't want me to?"

"That's not it."

She was just surprised that he agreed so readily.

"Then it's settled. Just don't go drinking recklessly again, alright?"

Victor tossed the covers aside, got out of bed shirtless in only a pair of gray lounge pants, and sauntered off toward the bathroom—tall, lean, and utterly nonchalant.

Isadora lingered in the doorway for a long moment before finally leaving.
