Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 188

Chapter 188 - I see she is falling for you

Voren stayed near the doorway, but his eyes never left her face. "Stanley would not stop insisting that he wanted to thank you personally," he revealed, Seraphine forced a small smile even though she still felt hollow inside.

Then she walked out of the office with Corvine beside her, both of them carrying the same exhaustion, the same grief, and the same silent determination that refused to let them give up.

As Stanley started speaking to Seraphine, Voren stepped closer to Corvine and lowered his voice.

"I see she is falling for you," he murmured, his tone carrying both curiosity and something sharper beneath it. "Why not just tell her how you feel?"

Voren opened his mouth to respond, but nothing came out because Corvine was right. Seraphine had trusted him for a reason and Corvine cared about her deeply, maybe more than he would ever admit, but even then, he still put her first.
