On the Ruins of His Regret I Soar novel Chapter 121

"I'm heading back to The Kensington," Jessica said.

George was silent.

"I need to go to the Brown Estate," she explained, almost instinctively. "There's something important I have to ask my father."

George grunted. "I was heading that way myself. Where are you? I'll see if it's on my way."

Jessica told him her location.

George chuckled. "Your lucky day. Stay put."

Jessica stood by the side of the road, waiting. Twenty minutes later, George's car pulled up beside her. She got in and fastened her seatbelt.

"That was fast. I thought you were at Willowbrook Gardens?"

George glanced at her, his eyes lingering on her slightly reddened cheeks. A shadow flickered in their depths. "Who told you I was at Willowbrook Gardens?"

"You called earlier and asked why I wasn't home yet."

"Right," he said. "I asked the building manager to see if my lights were on."

Jessica fell silent.

George stepped on the gas, and they were at The Kensington in no time. As before, Jessica asked to be dropped off outside the main entrance. "If anyone sees us, it'll be bad for your reputation."

Sitting in the driver's seat, George slowly lowered the window. "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Yes," she said.

"I'll wait for you here."
