“Why are you the one bringing my clothes?”
He really got on her nerves with those words.
Still facing the door, she responded coldly, “It’s clear that you’re not thrilled to see me.
Frankly, if my mother hadn’t practically coerced me, I’d have stayed clear of this situation.
Fine, I’m out of here.
No need to endure my presence.
”
“That’s not what I meant,” Hilliard exined in his usual cold tone.
Jennifer struggled to break free from his grip.
However, his grip tightened and he effortlessly restrained her.
She lost her bnce and identally fell on her bare chest.
Jennifer’s cheeks flushed and she grew shy.
And so did Hilliard’s.
Both of them were silent for some time and the atmosphere turned a bit awkward.
Summoning courage, Hilliard managed to say, “Miss Turner, truth be told, this time I…”
But she didn’t want to hear it.
She pulled away from his hold and dashed out of the room with her hands over her flushed face.
Hilliard watched her run out, and a crease formed on his brow.
After a moment’s contemtion, he decided against going after her.
The notion of running around the Turner family’s house dr@ped solely in a bath towel did seem rather strange.
He locked the door and wore the new clothes.

He watched her as she left the house and drove away.
He then turned to Presley, who was eating fruit on the sofa in the living room, and inquired.
“Any idea where Jennifer is off to?”
“She’s all dressed up.
It’s for a date, of course.
Presley smiled kindly.
Hilliard’s expression darkened with concern as he pressed further.
“With whom?”
Amused, Presley covered her mouth and giggled.
“Who else but her fiancé? She’s out for a romantic date with him.
