Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 791 Until They Have You Completely

After hanging up, Ann stared at the door in front of her.

She reached out, barely touching it, and Brody swung it open from the inside.

"Ann, why you back so late?" His voice was still all soft and sweet.

Ann couldn't wrap her head around how a guy could be so nice after doing such messed-up stuff.

She opened her mouth but had no clue what to say.

Brody pulled her inside and plopped her down on the couch.

"Guess what I got you this time?"

Ann didn't wanna guess. She watched him pull out a fancy bracelet from some big-name brand, probably worth over six grand.

Ann had never splurged on herself like that 'cause of the mortgage. She was always super strict with her spending.

Brody slipped the bracelet on her wrist, his voice all soothing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you this morning. But you gotta understand, my job's crazy busy, and I deal with a lot of jerks. Some of 'em have the worst tempers, and it gets to me. So when I talk to you, I can't help but bring some of that anger. I'm sorry, babe."
