The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 132

Nancy felt a shiver run down her spine as Judson's intense gaze bore into her. She instinctively looked away, only for his strong hand to firmly grasp her chin, turning her face back towards him.

"Nancy, look into my eyes!" Judson's voice was low and dangerous, his eyes narrowed.

Her jaw ached slightly from the pressure, and Nancy had no choice but to meet his gaze. "I'm looking, Judson, just let go..."

By the end of his sentence, Judson's eyes were glistening with unshed tears. "I don't want to be a widower before my time!"

Nancy chuckled and gave Judson a playful shove. "You're worrying too much, scaring yourself over nothing!"

Judson, now a little disgruntled, looked at her with a silent reproach, his deep eyes misty.

Seeing that expression, Nancy's heart softened. "Alright, don't be mad. After we finish the deal with Baldrick tomorrow, how about I take you to the charity auction?"
