Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 819

Debra spun around, startled, only to be pulled into a strong embrace. At first, she struggled, but then the familiar scent of tobacco enveloped her. It was unmistakably Marion.

Even though he had quit smoking, he still carried that scent.

"Marion..." her voice broke, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

For the past week, she had faced Drake alone, fought for her life in Orkgate, and dealt with danger all by herself. Yet, she hadn't felt any sense of grievance until now, being held in Marion's arms.

She had been haunted by fear of not being able to see him again.

"I'm here," Marion's voice was hoarse.

He tried to keep his emotions under control, but seeing Debra standing there in front of him, safe and sound, he couldn't help but tremble. He had almost lost her this time.

The moment he heard she had been kidnapped during the engagement party, his fear had been overwhelming.

Over the years, he had grown used to the constant threat of death. He thought there was nothing left in this world to fear until Debra came into his life.

The maid, sensing the intimate moment, quietly slipped out and closed the door behind her.

Debra rested her head against Marion's chest, whispering, "How long are you planning to hold me?"

"Not long enough," Marion murmured. "A lifetime wouldn't be long enough."

"Stop joking." Debra playfully punched his chest and pulled away just enough to see his face.
