Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 494

"Yes, exactly. I was driving in from the edge of Capitolion, and to my surprise, the trail led all the way here."

"It must be the owner of the ISA Grandeur Hotel. Do you know what that place means? I heard it was built just for the woman being proposed to today."

"She must be the leading lady-look how beautiful she is."

"No, did you see the man? He's even more handsome! Like a prince straight out of a fairytale!"

The surrounding chatter swelled, drowning out everything else.

A sudden wave of regret washed over her.

She was wearing a loose, deep navy dress-nothing fancy.

She hadn't even bothered with makeup.
