Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 141

Serena descended the stairs and approached the front desk.

“Hello, could you tell me who brought me here last night?”

The receptionist looked puzzled for a moment, but then her eyes lit up with recognition. She had been on duty the previous night.

Serena had been carried in.

In a bridal carry, no less.

She remembered it vividly.

And the man who had carried Serena was strikingly handsome.

Even more handsome than the actors on TV.

But...

“I... I don’t know him...”

Serena's heart skipped a beat.

So it wasn't Aaron.

If it had been Aaron, the receptionist would have recognized him.

“Serena!”

A familiar voice called out from behind her.

Serena turned around, surprised to see Samuel standing there.

“Samuel, what are you doing here?”

“When I heard Mr. Vance brought you back last night, I started looking for you all over town. But by the time I found you, you were already asleep, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Are you okay?”

Serena nodded slightly, reassured by the concern in Samuel's eyes.

...So it was Samuel who had brought her to the hotel?

She felt a sense of relief, yet there was an underlying hint of melancholy.

As if a kite had finally broken free from its string.

She and Aaron would never cross paths again.

“Samuel,” Serena said softly, shifting the topic, “I’m a bit hungry. Let’s go grab something to eat.”
