Chapter 1622:
The message was unmistakable—she accepted responsibility, but she would not lower herself to an apology.
Jonathan read the meaning tucked between her lines and studied her silently. Then, without warning, his lips
parted in a slow, dazzling smile. The amusement in his eyes softened the edge of his features, giving him an
