СКАЧАТЬ there is nothing further in Mr Gresham’s will that concerns any of you,’ he said evenly.

      ‘How about the three of us go out to lunch together to talk about this?’ Toby suggested brightly as he stood up to leave.

      Gabriella knew that any food she tried to eat right now would probably choke her. And just the thought of having lunch with Toby, a man she totally loathed after he had tried to force her into making love with him, made her feel nauseous.

      ‘I think not,’ Rufus was the one to answer sharply, surprising Gabriella by taking a steely hold of her arm. ‘Gabriella and I obviously have a few things we need to talk about, but, as David has already pointed out, your part in these proceedings is over, Toby,’ he added pointedly.

      Gabriella looked up at him frowningly. She didn’t want to go anywhere with Rufus, either. As for his fingers tightly clasped about her arm…!

      Her chin was once again raised determinedly as she tried to break that steely grip. And failed.

      Something that made Toby give another unconcerned grin. ‘Just let me know when the two of you decide not to get married.’

      Married.

      The word echoed inside Gabriella’s head.

      To Rufus.

      Just putting the words together—’married’ and ‘to Rufus’—was enough to send a shiver of alarm down her spine.

      But she hadn’t always thought so; she would once have been overjoyed at the thought of being Rufus’s wife.

      Before she’d learnt to hate him.

      Before she’d known how much he hated her.

      Toby was right; she and Rufus didn’t stand a chance of succeeding in living together as husband and wife for six months!

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
