Chapter 1246:
“I acted impulsively today. I confessed in front of all those reporters. I must have put you in a difficult position p>
Dunn kept a close eye on online news, and he hadn’t missed Margo’s occasional absent-mindedness during the drive. Naturally, he assumed he was the reason.
On top of that, he could feel the subtle shift between them after he confessed.
As the silence stretched, an indescribable tension filled the car.
“Is that all?” Margo’s lips curved into a small smile.
“I can tell you’re in a melancholic mood.” Dunn watched Margo’s expression closely.
For someone like him—still a novice in matters of the heart—blindly following online advice and acting only on instinct was unlikely to lead to good results.
To his surprise, Margo nodded. “Yes, I’m in a bad mood, but it has nothing to do with you. It’s about the new drama. I just can’t seem to find the right emotions for it p>
She shifted into a more comfortable position and added, “It’s been many years since I graduated. I feel so far removed from my youth. It might be difficult to play a younger character now p>
Maybe because they were finally being honest with each other, the atmosphere eased and the tension faded.
After some light conversation, the car came to a stop.
“Is this your home?” Margo asked. The villa in front of her felt oddly familiar.
“Yes. This is where we first met,” Dunn confirmed. He took her hand and led her toward the villa. “I planned to take you to a restaurant, but I couldn’t decide. So I prepared something at home p>
Yet thinking back to the night he had rescued Margo at the bar still left a trace of fear in him.
Dunn guided Margo inside. A romantic candlelit dinner was waiting. Everything about the evening showed careful planning—from the setting to the food.

Seated at the table, Margo looked at the beautifully arranged roses.
“It seems you’ve been surrounded by roses all day,” Dunn said, noticing her gaze. He couldn’t help smiling.
“No. I just love them.” Margo shook her head, her eyes lingering on Dunn. The man in front of her showed his gentle nature without reservation.
The atmosphere felt just right as their eyes met, as though no further words were needed.
The roses released a sweet fragrance that wrapped around them both. Margo watched as Dunn slowly leaned closer. She meant to dodge, but she froze instead.
The kiss that followed was feather-light, a tentative test of her response.
Margo tilted her head slightly. She didn’t resist, but she didn’t return it either. She closed her eyes, trying to empty her mind.
Yet in that very moment, the image of someone else surfaced in Margo’s mind, sending a sudden ache through her chest.
Her grip tightened around the edge of the chair.
Meanwhile, Annabel—busy all day—finally returned home. Instead of resting right away, she turned on her computer, only to find the news flooded with stories about Margo.
