Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 907

And then… she’d completely forgotten!

“Grandma, I—”

“Honey, could you watch the stove for me?” Roseanne heard her grandmother call out to her grandfather. “This has been simmering for three hours, it just needs this last bit of heat. You have to watch it for me. It’s too noisy in here, I’m going outside to talk to Anne…”

The old woman must have moved to the living room, because the sound of the range hood disappeared.

“Anne, can you hear me clearly now? What were you saying?”

“Nothing… I’ll be there on time. Thank you for making so much delicious food, Grandma.”

“It’s no trouble at all!” the old lady chirped happily before ending the call and bustling back into the kitchen.

After hanging up, Roseanne immediately called Owen. It was still early; he probably… hadn’t left yet, right?

The phone rang twice before Owen picked up.

“Roseanne?”

“Mr. Reynolds, I’m so sorry, but today I might—”

Before she could finish, a notification for an access request popped up on her tablet, and the screen automatically displayed the feed from the camera outside the door.

Who else could it be but Owen?

“Roseanne, I’m at the door. Did you get the access request?”

Roseanne was speechless. He was way too early!

When Owen came in, he noticed Roseanne wasn't in the experiment area, and her workbench was clean and tidy.

“Professor, I’m so sorry…”

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly apologizing?” he asked, surprised.

“Well… I forgot that I promised my grandmother I’d go to her place for lunch today. So… I’m really sorry, but I have to stand you up. I was just calling to tell you, but I didn’t expect…”

Owen paused for a second, then understood. “Is that all? That hardly warrants such a formal apology. You should go spend time with your grandmother. I can eat by myself.”

Remembering he had turned down a lunch with his colleagues and friends specifically to meet her, only for her to mess things up, Roseanne was filled with guilt.

“Professor, why don’t you come with me to my grandparents’ house for lunch?”

After all, her grandparents knew Owen and had a very good impression of him. They would surely welcome him.
