Chapter 83

Lance swung the car door open and Sabrina hopped out, thanking him before heading toward the mansion. She intended to call out to Marian to go home and rest, but was startled to find a man seated on their living room sofa.

As she pushed the door open, he slowly turned to her. They locked eyes and both froze.

The man was dressed in a crisp white shirt, black trousers, and his lengthy legs were crossed as he sat in the middle of the sofa. His handsome face was marked by a pair of cold eyes. When he saw the girl entering, a flicker of surprise shot through his eyes, but it vanished almost as quickly.

Sabrina was dressed in a mint green maxi dress that accentuated her slender waist, her shoulder–length hair loosely draped behind her. Her bright dark eyes were fixed on the man on the sofa.

Carter was stunned. He had imagined this girl’s face a thousand times in his mind. He hadn’t imagined her to be so quietly elegant, radiating a sense of nobility. She was clearly a lady of high birth.

His heart skipped a beat.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Where’s Marian?” Sabrina suddenly wondered if he was an intruder. She had been living here for almost two weeks and hadn’t encountered anyone else. Suddenly, a stranger was in her house, and Marian was nowhere to be found.

The man on the sofa frowned, and his expression became even colder. Her house? He looked around. Wasn’t this his house? How had it become hers? I’m Carter Cliff. How have you been, Ms. Shaw?” His voice was deep and slow, spilling from his throat.
