Unstoppable Unforgiven (Shermaine and Joshua) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Jasper’s eyes darkened. “Do you think I’m only with you for the money?”

Ruth didn’t say anything.

“I’ve been with you all this time. When have I ever asked you for money?” Jasper said.

She had to admit he had a point. Ruth found herself wondering if this guy who was more than ten years younger than her actually loved her.

The thought sent little ripples through her heart, and she felt herself falling even deeper into the trap Natalie had so carefully set for her.

Ross was another one who didn’t make it home for dinner that night. That earring of Danielle’s had been eating at him, and he couldn’t let it go. After

work, he grabbed the earrings and headed straight to the hospital.

When people saw him show up, nobody dared call him a scumbag to his face. Besides, he had this refined, gentlemanly appearance that made him look like some kind of aristocrat, way too classy for anyone to mess with.

Ross walked up to the neurosurgery front desk. “Is Dr. Shelly in?”

The nurse at the desk looked curious. “What do you need Dr. Shelly for?” She thought, ‘They broke up already, so why’s he here looking for Dr. Shelly? Is he trying to get back together?‘

But she was way off base. “She left something at my place,” Ross said simply.

“Oh,” the nurse replied. “Dr. Shelly went out to grab dinner, but she should be back soon. She’s got rounds to do later tonight.”

Danielle definitely hadn’t gone out to eat alone. She never would have expected Janice to set her up on a blind date, especially with Henry, someone she’d only met once before.

Luckily, she’d met Henry once before and he’d made a good impression on her. They actually hit it off pretty well when they talked.

What surprised Henry the most was that Janice had actively reached out to play matchmaker for him, and the person she wanted to set him up with was Danielle. Sure, there wasn’t any romantic spark between them, but they made decent friends.

Ross heard that Danielle would be back soon, so he decided to wait around for her return. He wasn’t about to make the trip for nothing.

He stood by the window watching the busy street below, with a clear view of the crowds flowing in and out of the hospital’s main entrance.

Just like the nurse had said, Danielle showed up before long.

A sports car pulled up in front of the hospital, and Danielle got out.

The driver’s window rolled down, revealing Henry with a big smile as he looked at Danielle. Ross couldn’t hear what they were saying, but t to be having a great time chatting.

Watching this scene unfold, Ross felt something heavy settle in his chest–some kind of emotion he couldn’t quite put his finger on.

Janice had actually followed through on her word and introduced Danielle to Henry. Janice had actually followed through on her word and introduced Danielle to Henry.

After saying goodbye to Henry, Danielle headed into the medical building. When she came upstairs, she found Ross standing outside her office door.

They hadn’t seen each other since they went their separate ways that day.

When Danielle spotted him, she frowned, “Mr. Jean, what are you doing here?”

“Returning your earring,” Ross said.

“Didn’t I tell you to throw it away?”

“That earring was expensive.”

Danielle rolled her eyes. ‘Whatever, I’d actually feel bad if he really threw it out,’ she thought. “Thanks. Hand it over.”

Ross didn’t make any move to give it to her. “I’m thirsty.”

Danielle stared at him for a moment, then pushed open her office door. “Fine, come in.”
