Blackmailing His Runaway Bride by Dance-is-me (carter reed .txt) 📗

Charles's eyes which were roaming the modern-decorated restaurant darted to hers. Without haste, he reached for her right hand and wrapped it into his large ones.

"Everything will be fine, Isabella. Trust me, I am not going to let you go so easily. My lawyer would build a case so strong that the Manifold guy will crawl back into his hole. Just cooperate with me, okay?"

Her smile grew bigger. At a point in his talk, she zoned out, her eyes watching only his face.

"Isabella?" He snapped his fingers.

"Yeah?" She had a dreamy look on her face.

"You were not listening, were you?"

She made a small pout. "I was."

He patted her hand and gave her a knowing smile. "Okay, Bella. Let's eat now, shall we?"

She nodded and watched him signal a waiter for the menu, her smile growing by the second.

Caleb was right. She still loved Charles.

All it took to realize it was an escape from her murderous marriage and a good reminder of how good her life was with Charles. And, how more amazing it could be with him.
