NovelEnglishChapter 336 "Mr. Nightingale, here's your jacket," Willow spoke, pulling lan back to reality.
He stiffly accepted the jacket with intense emotions in his deep eyes. She could not make sense of the emotions in his eyes, and she had no desire to. Since he refused to leave, Willow had to politely ask him to leave.
"Mr. Nightingale, I've returned your jacket. Please leave. To ensure that he'd comply, she added, "I need to take a shower."
