Chapter 19
Extella finally reloved after having a glass of warm water. If we hadn’t show up just now, she probably would’ve been at a loss for how to deal with Jenson pestering her to go
back with him.
Yet, she was also puzzled–why was Rowan her when he should have left earlier?
Rowan seemed to have noticed the confusion on Estella’s Esce. Prilling a phone out of his pocket, he said, “Someone forgetful happened to have left her phone in my car
Estella bloshed when she saw the familiar phone case. She quickly took her phone from him.
“Thank you, Bowan.
She wasn’t just thanking him for bringing her phone but also for helping out with the curion carter.

Rowan smiled. “You’re welcome. You can relax and be a bit more cassal with me. Are you free? Can I treat you to a meal?”
Estellapsed briefly and avoided his intense gaze
She said slowly, “Human, the man who just left is my ex–boyfriend. I already broke up with him, but you saw his attitude. So, I’m not planning to start a new relationship any tim
Soon
Estella made hersell pretty clear, she wasn’t a fool, she could tell Rowan had feelings for her. But she couldn’t reciprocate his feelings at the moment
Jenson had always been very stubborn. Estella didn’t want to risk dragging others into her problems before she ended things cleanly with him.
However, Howan showed no signs of wavering. He offered Estella words of comfort in a gentle tone.
“Don’t worry, Estie Even if you eventually decide to reject me, I should still look out for your safety since you’re Zoe’s and my friend. So, please don’t rehuse my help. You should pet enough rest tonight. You have me, and I won’t let him hurt you.”
Estella’s lips curved into a sincere smile.
“Thank you, Rowan.”
Rowan’s ears bummed red when he heard those words. He hurriedly excused himself.
Perhaps it was because of Rowan’s words of comfort or maybe it was the firm lock in hises. For whatever prison, bella managed to have a good night’s sleep
The next morning, she headed out for work as usual, only to run into Rowan just outside her bulding
When she noticed his slightly disheveled hair and hor he was wearing the same shin that he’d won lastnight, a bizare thought occurred to her..
“Did you stay here the entire night?“:
Rowan nodded calmly
“I was worried your ex might try to harass you again. So, I waited around for a while. In the end, I got a bit too lazy to head back. I decided to just sleep in the car since I’d be able to drop you off at work in the morning”
Estella puised her lips. “Why didn’t you just come up and stay over at my place?”
Rowan froze for a second. There was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes. He averted his gaze. “You were home alone last night.”
Although he didn’t say it outright, Estella understood what he meant. Zoe hadn’t been home last night since she was away on a business trip. Rowan had wanted to respect Burda’s personal space, so he’d chosen to sleep in the car instead.
She couldn’t quite describe the feeling rising in her heart. It was as though her still and lonely heart was slowly being filled by warmth
Rowan glanced down at his watch and opened the door to the front passenger seat “Have you had breakfast? It’s silll early. There’s enough time for us to grab breakfast before I dip you of a work”
Estella had com planning on grabbing something light at one of the places near her house before heading to work. She nodded upon hearing his suggestión.
Amer they had brealdast, Rowan drove Estella to the office
“Estir, I’ll pick you up whim you get off work!*
As if he was afraid of getting rejected, Rowan drove away right after saying that Estella let out a chuckle when she saw the axious look on his face through the car window
Shekwered her head and typed a message.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.”
