Chapter 46

Chapter 46 When it was time to eat , Giselle confidently enjoyed the food in front of her , Even though she sat among the prestigious Kane family - people far out of her league -she remained completely at ease . There wasn't a trace of fear in her heart . Across from her at Donovan , cold and rigid like a marble statue , His expression gave nothing away , but a storm was brewing in his eyes .

Sitting near him felt dangerous , as if the air itself was laced with tension While everyone else was enjoying the feast and chatting pleasantly , Ethan asked Donovan about some work matters , and the atmosphere remained normal , A few minutes later , Zachary's phone rang . It was a call from a friend overseas . Speaking fluently in a foreign language , Zachary excused himself from the table to continue the conversation elsewhere . everyone else in the room seemed to fade into the background .

She picked up the glass of milk With Zachary gone , Giselle's attention shifted entirely to Donovan ; every beside her and took a slow sip . Donovan glanced up - purely by chance - and their eyes met just as she lifted the glass to her lips . He couldn't tell if she was doing it deliberately , but seeing her doing something provocative made him freeze .

A complex emotion stirred within him , and he instinctively reached for his wine , downing a large gulp When Giselle noticed his reaction , she silently chuckled to herself . She then calmly reached for a tissue and dabbed at a drop of milk on the comer of her mouth , as if nothing had happened . Picking up her knife and fork , she cut into her steak and are piece by piece , her appetite and mood seemingly unaffected ast then , Zachary resumed to her side , having finished his phone call .

Like before , he tussed over her with care and attention .

Noticing that her long hair was in the way while she ate , he asked one of the housekeepers to bring a rubber band When it arived , Zachary stood behind Guelle and tied up her hair in front of the entire family , Giselle initially felt slightly awkward , but when she saw Donovan's dark , brooding expression - clearly on the verge of losing control - she decided to enjoy the etection Turning to Zachary with a gentle smile , she softly said , " Thank you .

' Unexpectedly , the first person to lose their temper was Grace . She slammed her utensils onto the table with a loud clatter " Zach ! There are guests in the house , so I held my tongue when you brought this random woman home earlier . But I can't watch this any longer ! " she snapped . Grace shot Giselle a look of disgust befour turning back to Zachary and scolding him sharply " Let me make this clear no woman can just walk into the Kane family so easily .
