Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 139

Serena's instincts screamed at her to run.

Just as she was about to bolt, she saw Finn stepping out of a car.

"Miss Sullivan, it really is you!" he called out.

He had spotted Serena from a distance but wasn't entirely sure it was her. It wasn't until Mr. Grayson confirmed it was indeed Miss Sullivan that Finn sped up to catch her.

Serena was momentarily taken aback.

She never expected to run into Finn here, of all places.

At that moment, the backseat door of the car swung open.

Serena immediately recognized William sitting inside.

He wore a light blue suit, his eyes, always carrying a gentle smile, gazed deeply at her with an emotion she couldn't quite place.

"Finally found you," he said, his voice as rich and soothing as a cello, cutting through the cold night like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the chill that clung to Serena.

"Hop in."

Serena nodded slightly, almost without hesitation, and climbed into William's car.
