When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 102

Latham thought she'd just been out having fun all night, and his voice was thick with jealousy.

Dorothea didn’t have it in her to explain. “Yeah, it’s late. Didn’t I tell you not to wait for me?”

Her words carried a hint of impatience, which only made Latham even more jealous.

They’d just barely started getting along again after he helped her with her injury, but now things felt chilly between them.

Latham caught her wrist. “What’s wrong? Did someone mess with you?”

Dorothea held back the sting in her nose, just feeling exhausted.

“I’m sorry. I’m not in a great mood today, and I shouldn’t have snapped at you.”

Latham nodded. “Yeah, you were pretty cold. I could tell you were annoyed with me. But I’ll let it slide.”

His half-teasing, half-forgiving tone made her irritation fade a little.

She thought, Latham was the kind of guy who never seemed to let things eat away at him.

“Want a midnight snack? I could make you some pasta,” he offered.

Dorothea’s stomach growled in response. She never believed in punishing herself by going hungry. “Black pepper, please.”

Latham’s eyes crinkled as he smiled. “You got it.”

Dorothea went to the bathroom, and when she came back, Latham was already plating the pasta.

She watched him handle it so smoothly. “Do you cook a lot?”

“Sometimes. When I get sick of takeout, I’ll make something myself,” he replied.

Dorothea tried a bite and her eyes lit up, wide and bright. “This is really good!”
