Chapter 388 A Little Scheme

His eyes were still bloodshot, his thoughts singular and focused. He had only one goal-marrying her.

Did he think he could pull that off?

"There's not much of a chance right now," he admitted with a somber expression.

"Good that you know," Seraphina snorted softly.

"But there will be!" he said, his jaw tightening with determination.

Seraphina glanced at him but said nothing.

It wasn't up to him to decide whether it would work or not.

It was the first time he had ever lowered himself like this-humiliated-all because of her.

Seraphina entered her apartment, pushing the door closed behind her.

However, just before she closed the door, a hand slipped through the opening.

Orion's arm bore a glaring bruise as he pulled his hand back.
