Chapter 78

The car was filled with a heavy silence, and Liza cautiously glanced at Gavin, trying to read his expression. To her relief, his face remained neutral, giving her the impression that he hadn’t taken her words to heart. She sighed inwardly, convinced that the topic of her “deceased fiancé” was now behind them. Surely, Gavin wouldn’t care about something so trivial.
Relaxing slightly, she looked out the window and said with a cheerful tone, “Gavin, can you stop the car here? I need to get off—”
Before she could finish, the car sped right past her intended stop.
