Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 147

At that moment, Felicia felt as if a thousand sheep were stampeding through her mind.

She had run for quite a distance. Several times, she thought she had finally shaken off Stephan, only to turn back and find that tall figure still leisurely trailing her. He was calm and unhurried. What kind of skills did this guy have that she couldn't shake him off?

After a few attempts, Felicia gave up. She stopped her frantic escape, bent over, and gasped for breath.

"I'm... I'm out of breath. I give up..."

Stephan continued to walk toward her at the same leisurely pace. The white puppy in his arms was now whining and nuzzling against his hand, having turned from a feisty little creature to a meek companion. It even rubbed against Stephan's palm from time to time. The scene was quite heartwarming and terrifying at the same time.

Felicia instinctively shrank her neck and quietly took a step back.

Finally, Stephan's gaze settled on Felicia. His smile faded into something serious as he stepped closer, a looming presence of pressure hanging in the air. "No more running?"

"I can't run anymore," Felicia replied honestly.
