Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 149

"Yes, Mr. Russell."

After arranging the details, his subordinate promptly acknowledged from the other end of the line and cautiously asked, "Mr. Russell, should we head back now or..."

"Let's rest for two days," Stephan replied, gazing at the lights of the village. He absentmindedly stroked the puppy's head while adding, "The scenery here is quite nice. Let's find a place to settle down first." "Understood."

...

Felicia made her way back to Macey's house, massaging her neck as she entered. The commotion earlier hadn't been loud enough to wake Macey, who was still sound asleep.

She quietly opened the door and slipped back into her room. As she lay down, she suddenly remembered the puppy.

Where did it go?

It seemed Stephan had taken the puppy with him.

The puppy, named Cloud, had just turned a month old. Macey mentioned that it was one of the pups from the neighbor's dog, and she brought the chubby white one home to raise.

Cloud stayed with its mother during the day, but at night, it would obediently return when Macey called. It was quite adorable.

When it saw Felicia, it knew to wag its tail at her, looking adorably clumsy.

Felicia had not anticipated running into Stephan tonight, nor that he would take Cloud with him.

Lying in bed, Felicia thought about how to look for Stephan in the morning and whether she could negotiate to get Cloud back.

With that thought in mind, she couldn't fall asleep.

The thought of interacting with Stephan made her uneasy. He was too perceptive, and his deep eyes seemed capable of reading her mind. He had nearly exposed her secrets multiple times. After tossing and turning, she could only hope that whatever she told Stephan that night hadn't raised any suspicions on his side.

Felicia finally drifted off for about half an hour, but dawn soon broke.

Early in the morning, a thin mist hovered over the mountains, and the village was filled with the crowing of roosters. It marked a peaceful and serene morning.

However, amidst this tranquility, the sound of barking dogs pierced the air, followed by hurried footsteps and voices. There were also a few anxious words about an incident.
