When Two Winters Met (Henrietta and Yosef) novel Chapter 64

A large, vibrant bouquet of roses sat on the table—a thoughtful touch. They took their seats.

It was Henrietta’s first arranged date, and she felt a little awkward. Joaquin broke the silence, handing her a tablet for the menu. “Order whatever you like.”

“Thank you.” Henrietta accepted it, her eyes scanning the dishes.

Joaquin lit a cigarette, his gaze never leaving her. She was stunning today. No, she was always stunning. The title of Juno City’s foremost ice queen was no exaggeration. Up close, she seemed to radiate beauty, not a single flaw in sight.

A shame she’d refused the marriage alliance before. All for that social climber. Her taste in men was truly awful. The heiress to the Sargent Group, lowering herself to date some nobody for years…

He wondered how far things had gone between them. Was she still untouched? Or had that guy used some underhanded tactics to get to her?

Henrietta finished ordering and handed the tablet to the waiter before looking up. Joaquin’s gaze was predatory, intense, almost… feral. Henrietta pressed her lips together, feeling even more uncomfortable, though she maintained a cool and composed expression.

The waiter presented the tablet to Joaquin. “Mr. Leland.”

Still fixated on Henrietta as a hunter locks onto its prey, Joaquin simply said, “I’ll have the same as her.”

“Yes, sir.” The waiter bowed and retreated.

Joaquin gestured with his cigarette. “Do you mind, Ms. Sargent?”
