Chapter 247

Isadora couldn't help but reach out and press the button, lowering the car window. She needed to let some of the damp, stuffy air escape.

Victor raised an eyebrow, unable to hide his amusement. After a pause, he twirled a lock of her hair around his finger and gave a lazy smile.

"You really are ungrateful, aren't you?"

If she ever showed him even a fraction of the kindness she gave to others, Victor figured he should count himself lucky.
