NovelEnglishChapter 1508:
“It’s for the bruise on your knee. It will ease the discomfort and speed up healing,” Ernest explained.
“That's not necessary,” Elissa said, pressing her skirt down firmly, her posture stiff.
Ernest arched an eyebrow. “What, you think | would take advantage of you?” Aside from that fateful night when
their paths had crossed while he was under the influence of sdrug, he had always treated her with courtesy.
“That's not what | meant,” Elissa mumbled, her cheeks flushing faintly. “Just hand it over. I'll apply it later at the
office.”
Glancing at his sharp, striking features, she added, “The car's cramped, and the smell of this stuff is strong—I'll
stick around.” Her reasoning made sense.
“Fair enough,” Ernest said, passing her the bottle.
Elissa tucked it into her bag. “Thank you.”
When they pulled up to the design firm, Elissa stepped out of the car.

“Elissa,” Robin's voice cthrough, tinged with a nervous laugh. “No big deal. | was just wondering how things
are with you and Mr. Flynn.”

He hesitated, then added, “I'm not prying, | swear. It's just... he seemed upset the other day, and | am worried
about you. Are you two good now?”
To Robin, Elissa and Ernest were clearly a couple—Ernest had, after all, stepped in between them more than
once.
Elissa gripped her phone, lips tight, saying nothing for a long moment. She had noticed a change in Robin since
the divorce, a shift in how he spoke to her. Was it another of his fleeting fancies, or had he genuinely changed?
