"What are you thinking?" She sneered. Her voice laced with amusement, her eyes twinkled with mischief.
Davis stared at her incredulously before averting his gaze. "Nothing." He murmured struggling to suppress the tremor in his voice.
Jessica's lips curled into a smile. His gaze snapped back to her. "And now? If you don't achieve your purpose, will you leave?"
Davis wasn't concerned about why she had accepted the marriage—he cared about what came next.
