Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 170

What was his problem?

Jerome used to be austere, giving no heed to Mikayla when she intentionally passed by him in a camisole.

Now, his eyes darkened when he barely had his hands on her.

Infuriated, Mikayla attempted to wrench herself away from him.

He noticed her reaction, and tightened his embrace around her instead.

“What are you doing?” she hissed.

Looking sullen, Jerome asked, “Were you upset because I left early at the Miller’s party?”

The intimate distance between them was unsettling.

Prying his fingers away from her, she hollered, “Let me go!”

His arms remained twined around her as he said, “Answer my question.”

Mikayla’s expression darkened once she realized he didn’t intend to release her.

“No. Can you let me go now?” Her tone was ice cold, her patience clearly wearing thin.

Jerome still remembered the radiant smile on her face when she came home.
