Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 426

Isadora finally realized Victor had misunderstood her.

She could have fainted from exasperation.

"It's Nanette and Finley who are together. I'm just worried Nanette might get hurt —what are you even talking about?" she protested.

"Oh."

Mr. Fitzgerald's response was casual, his expression untroubled. He clearly felt no guilt for speaking so bluntly about Finley.

"Well, that's not so bad then."

Isadora looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean, 'not so bad'? Care to explain?"

Even if it was for someone else's sake, Victor didn't like hearing Isadora talk about other men.

He was fiercely possessive when it came to her.

Suddenly, Victor reached out and cupped the back of her head, his lips claiming hers in a kiss that swallowed whatever words she had left.

The faint taste of coffee and the warmth of him filled Isadora's senses.
