Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 484

Isadora cleared her throat softly and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I'm... feeling much better," she murmured.

Victor didn't say a word. He reached for her other leg and gently placed it across his lap, continuing to massage her calf.

It was almost as if he'd been waiting right outside the door.

"I heard something from the living room," he replied.

She blinked. "Weren't you going to sleep in the guest room?"

Victor's hands never paused. His tone was matter-of-fact. "You never really sleep

well at night. If I'm in the living room, I can hear if you need anything."

Isadora bit her lip, a peculiar warmth and ache blossoming in her chest.

After a while, when she thought he'd done enough, she said, "Alright, that's enough. You don't have to keep going."

She started to get out of bed, but Victor gently stopped her. "Where are you going?"
