Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Unexpected Encounters

Isaac's expression morphed into a mixture of surprise and amusement at Mila's unexpected maneuver, a hint of admiration shining in his azure eyes.

"Well played, Lady Evangeline," he remarked, his tone laced with amusement. "You certainly know how to keep things interesting."

Mila chuckled softly, a playful glint dancing in her eyes as she met Isaac's gaze with a knowing smile. "Why thank you, Mr. Mitchell." she replied, her voice dripping with mock innocence. "I do try to keep life from becoming too dull."

Mila swept her eyes over his face, a smile playing on her lips. "A small token of my appreciation seems to make you thirst for more. You should maintain your composure, Isaac; at least try to not show your desire for more."
