From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 201

Ethan Carter gave her cheek a gentle squeeze. “You sure you’re not up to something?”

Olivia Bennett shook her head, utterly unbothered. “Nope. Not at all.”

Ethan just sighed, clearly out of arguments. He slid his warm hand around hers. “Alright, let’s head inside.”

Daniel’s eyes flickered, the only hint of emotion he showed. “Let’s go in,” he said, voice flat and measured.
