Chapter 1013

“Have you forgotten?” Queenie blinked her teary eyelashes, the remnants of her tears glistening. She spoke earnestly, “When we got married, it was in a small cottage in the field, just like the one in front of us.”

Emmanuel remained silent, his gaze fixed on the cottage. Despite the darkness of the night, he could discern its resemblance to the one in Hero’s Village, where they grew up. It felt like a near replica.

“Should we visit there again so I can find closure where everything began? Can we?” Her eyes were filled with longing.

A shiver ran down his spine.

Queenie wasn’t as direct as Milani, yet his resistance towards her was no less. If Milani had asked the same, he would have refused outright, but his sentimentality and Queenie’s significance from their shared childhood made him hesitate to be so heartless.

“Okay, let’s go,” Emmanuel agreed with a nod.

Queenie’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Side by side, they slowly approached the cottage. During the half-hour journey, they exchanged no words.

As they neared the cottage, he noticed that both the front yard and the house had their doors wide open. He stopped and asked, “Is there someone inside?”

“Yes, there is,” she replied, confident that he wouldn’t turn and run away.

After a brief thought, Emmanuel asked, “Do you want me to go in?”

“It’s your call,” Queenie replied, her expression turning cold and indifferent. She had already achieved her purpose.

He sighed, realizing the situation. “When did you meet Magnus?”

She was slightly surprised, not anticipating that he would figure it out so quickly. Nevertheless, she answered truthfully, “Before the New Year. How else could we coincidentally return to the village for New Year’s in the same year, both with our partners? I’ve actually been keeping an eye on you for a while.”

“I see.” He nodded.

It was clear that ever since their first encounter at Serenity Resort, Magnus had been unwavering in his determination to kill him, setting up various schemes in advance.
