Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 640

They were both stunned, but Ruby had already left the shopping center with Mira.

She dismissed the minor altercation as nothing more than an encounter with a spoiled, unreasonable brat and didn't give it a second thought as she headed back to Southgarde Estate.

Truthfully, a few of the pieces she had seen in the display cases would have been suitable gifts for the old matriarch. They were dignified and classic, but perhaps a bit too old-fashioned. She had heard that Cassian's grandmother was quite a modern and spirited woman, which was why, after some consideration, she had decided to ask Garrison.

At the mention of this person, Cassian's brow furrowed slightly. This was going to be a problem.

The matriarch saw the change in Cassian's expression but said nothing, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
