Chapter 168 – Some kind of charm that makes men fold

By the time Seraphine got into the passenger seat, there was a lightness in her mood that hadn’t been there earlier, like some of the pressure weighing on her had finally eased, and the moment she told Corvine about Zane coming on board, his reaction came fast and unfiltered.

"Do you have some kind of charm that makes men fold the second they see you, or is there something I’m missing here?" Corvine asked, glancing at her with a teasing grin that made it clear he wasn’t entirely joking.

He still couldn’t wrap his head around it, because someone like Zane wasn’t the type to bend easily, yet somehow, Seraphine had gotten him to agree to walk away from everything and start over, all because she saved his father.

Seraphine leaned back slightly, a knowing smile on her lips as she replied, "Isn’t that the same reason you’re here with me, or should I assume I used that same charm on you too?"

Corvine let out a short laugh, shaking his head as the tension in the car faded into something more familiar and easy between them.

As the conversation settled, Seraphine pulled her laptop toward her and began going through the information Voren had mentioned about the bombs hidden within Santiago’s fortress, her focus sharpening as she worked through the details, because whenever Corvine was driving, she treated that time as an opportunity to either get a quick rest or push through more work, and this time, her mind refused to slow down.

She didn’t even notice how much time had passed until the car came to a stop, the subtle halt pulling her attention away from the screen.
