Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 320

Imogen chuckled softly, letting go of her fixation on the flowers. She turned her head toward Johanna's voice and said, "I've already made arrangements. When my brother gets back, we'll visit Frosty Chapel together. And then..." She beckoned Johanna closer with a mischievous wave.

Johanna leaned in, curious.

"I'll make sure you two get some alone time," Imogen whispered with a smile. "You have to take the chance, okay? No man can resist when a woman puts herself out there. Sometimes, you've just got to drop the whole 'playing hard to get' thing." Johanna's face turned crimson, and her blush spread to her ears. She mumbled, "I get it, Imogen. I'll try my best..."

Satisfied, Imogen patted Johanna's hand.

The two of them lounged in the courtyard, soaking up the sunlight as they waited for Stephan to return.

Stephan had been tied up with work these past few days. After being away from Seldvale for so long, the responsibilities waiting for him were endless. His conglomerate alone had accumulated piles of issues requiring his attention, not to mention his numerous other enterprises.

While smaller tasks could be delegated, major decisions still required his personal approval.

He was in his CEO's office at the top of the tallest skyscraper in the city. Stephan finally finished reviewing a stack of documents. Tossing the pen aside, he reached for his phone.

His inbox was flooded with messages, but none of them were from Felicia.
