Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self by Fleur Delacour

Chapter 423 Reading Together Makes My Heart Beat Faster

The proximity to Jonathan caused her heart to race, its rhythm seemingly reverberating in her ears. Lost in the moment’s intensity, she suddenly pulled back, swiftly diverting the conversation to another topic.

“Have you sent Christopher back?” she asked, regretting it almost immediately.

Mentioning Christopher instantly cast a pall over the mood, leaving both of them uneasy and causing a wave of queasiness to wash over her. Despite the discomfort it stirred, her heart’s anxiousness seemed to subside, recognizing the pressing need to address the issue promptly. She was worried that Jonathan might be upset as he checked his phone. “He’s already on the plane.” she said.

Angela breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”

By changing the subject, she felt less nervous. Although, the thought of Florence using Christopher to threaten Jonathan still made her

uncomfortable. Christopher repulsed her, and she knew Jonathan disliked him even more.

“Will Christopher try to come back again?” she asked, wanting assurance to good riddance of such scum.

“Don’t worry, he won’t,” Jonathan reassured her, hugging her tightly. She noted that it seemed to be his favorite spot.

With Christopher out of the picture, Angela felt a sense of relief.

Jonathan asked, “Ready for bed?” in a husky voice, but Angel declined as she wanted to read a bit longer.
