From Best Friend To Fiancé (Savannah and Roman) novel Chapter 522

Chapter 522

When they separated, Roman studied her carefully. “You can come with us, you know,” he offered. “We’ll figure something out.”

She shook her head gently. “I can’t,” she said. “Arthur has been very kind to me. I won’t embarrass him like that.”

Roman’s expression tightened, but he didn’t argue further. “If anything changes,” he said firmly, “I’m coming back for you.”

She nodded, accepting the promise.

Then she turned to me. “Will I see you again, Sav?”

The question lodged in my throat. I wanted to promise her yes. I wanted to cling to the idea that this wasn’t a goodbye but was only a pause.

But as I looked around the estate, something deep inside me understood the truth. This place was not somewhere I would ever willingly return to. Not

willingly. Not while Reginald was still breathing.

Tears burned behind my eyes. “I hope so,” I whispered.

She smiled gently and pulled me into a hug that felt warm and sweet. “Send me pictures of your baby,” she said softly. “When she arrives.”

1 blinked, surprised. “She?”

River nodded confidently. “I just know it’s going to be a girl.”

Emotion swelled in my chest as we embraced one last time. “I’ll miss you,” I whispered. “Thank you for everything.”

She smiled, though her eyes shimmered. “Maybe I’ll be able to visit you someday.”

Footsteps approached.

Reese emerged from the house, wearing a faded band tee and dark jeans, followed by Alex, who looked as though he had been dragged into the morning against his will.

“That was fast,” Reese remarked dryly. “I aspire to never love anyone enough to make life decisions this dramatic.”

Alexander snorted. “You’d need someone to love you first.”

Reese rolled his eyes. “I’m irresistible.”

Alex snorted. “As if love would ever find you.”

Reese smirked. “Yeah. I guess you’re right. Cupid better not waste his precious arrows here.”

We laughed and the sound felt strange after so much tension. Light. Almost fragile.

He looked at me then, softer. “I’ll miss you, Savannah,” he admitted. “You kind of shook things up around here.”

“She did more than shake things up,” Alexander added. “She brought the drama.”

Chapter 522

Heat rose to my cheeks.

“Don’t name your kid after me,” Alex added. “I know I’m memorable.”

Roman answered for me. “Not happening.”

Reese exhaled slowly. “Ready?”

Roman nodded. “More than ready.”

“Me too,” I whispered.

We followed Reese toward his car. Then a voice called out. “Ma’am!”

Ramsey stood at the entrance, waving enthusiastically. The sight of him made my heart swell unexpectedly.

I waved back, smiling. “Bye, Ramsey!”

“He’s going to miss you,” Reese murmured.

“You guys talked?” Roman asked, lost.

I nodded, still waving. “Of course. He grew on me. He’s quite adorable.”

Roman opened the car door for me. “You getting attached to Ramsey is still strange,” he said.

“He’s sweet,” I replied, sliding into the seat.

Roman joined me, still watching the house as if memorizing every threat within it.

River and Alexander stood nearby, quiet observers of our departure.

I leaned out slightly. “Tell Riley I said goodbye.”

Alexander checked his watch. “German class started eight minutes ago.”

I groaned softly. “I hate your father.”

He smirked. “Welcome to the club.”

Reese started the engine. And just then I felt it. A cold, heavy gaze.

I looked up toward the manor. And there he was, watching from the window silently.Something fierce rose inside me

And before I could stop myself, I rolled down the window, raised my hand, and flipped him off,

River gasped. “Savannah!”

Reese followed my gaze. He snorted before he burst out laughing.
