He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 180

What's more, it was glaringly obvious that Seraphina and Pierce's relationship was anything but a normal marriage.

Calling them husband and wife was a stretch—they looked more like bitter enemies.

Seraphina truly had been dealt a horrible hand in life.

Having an irresponsible mother was bad enough. She had finally met a man who treated her well, and they all thought a happy marriage would make up for the love she lacked growing up. Who could have guessed everything would go up in flames on her wedding day...

Suddenly, a shrill ringtone pierced the air.

Sienna blinked. "Dad, your phone is ringing. 'Cici'... who's that?"

Alaric scrambled to snatch the phone up. "Just a business partner."

"...It sounds like a girl's name."

"There's a restaurant chain called Cici's Pizza, right? We do business with them," Alaric lied smoothly, quickly walking out of the living room and heading for the guest room. "I need to take this."

It wasn't until he was inside the guest room with the door locked that he finally let out a shaky breath and collapsed onto the couch.
