Chapter 95:

Images of Jake’s suave and striking appearance danced through Kallie’s thoughts, igniting a warmth in her heart. A gentle smile began to play on her lips.

Turning to Donovan, Kallie reassured him that she had braced herself for the doubts and criticism, stressing that she was not affected. She pointed out that those groundless accusations had been dealt with, rendering any worries unnecessary.
