The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2213

Rose trailed behind her, a picture of graceful obedience that reminded Jacob of a gentle lamb.

He glanced over, he thought of Yvette, who had once been a gentle lamb herself before she had moved into the home of that ex-boyfriend of hers and unleashed havoc.

The thought made his stomach churn with unease.

He quickly averted his gaze, only to meet Jaime's disdainful eyes.

"What are you looking at me for?" Jacob frowned, irritated. "What's with that look?"

"Just the other day, you were head over heels for Erica, and now here you are, eyeing other women! Men!"d2

Jacob's face darkened with anger. "Don't you dare compare her to Erica. There's no comparison!"

Jaime was unaccustomed to seeing Jacob lose his temper and opened his mouth to say something, but Jacob, scowling, had already turned away.

Jaime scratched his head in embarrassment, cursing his loose lips that had likely gone too deep, too fast. After all, Orval Carter was also there, cheerfully greeting everyone without throwing any shade.

Jaime brooded over his faux pas, mentally reminding himself to be more careful with his words.

Rose blinked in surprise. "Are you going to see Mr. Silverman?"

Rosalynn shook her head. "I won't see him until he's better. I'm going to inquire about some pharmaceutical matters."

Rose pondered for a moment. "If you don't mind, I'd love to go. I need to make amends with Penn for being cross with me about my plans to buy property and settle down in the H Country."

"Do you think he feels like you've left him behind?"
