Chapter 58

• Turning my face away from Adrian, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. I was very grateful for the interruption when the door creaked open, my heart skipping a beat as Xavier and Grandma Charlotte stepped into the room.
• "Grandma!" My face lit up with a smile as she walked in. A sad look passed across her face, and she tried to play it cool by smiling.
• Xavier's eyes locked onto Adrian for a moment. His gaze swept over the room but not before scanning him with an intensity that made my skin tingle. It was clear he didn't fancy Adrian's presence one bit. His lips were set in a hard line; for a moment, I thought I saw a possessive look in his eyes, but I immediately brushed it off.
