He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 816

Every sense was heightened to an agonizing degree, every emotion deeply tethered to her. Every cell in his body was vibrating with euphoria, and his restless heart simply refused to calm down.

He breathed her in, he saw her when he closed his eyes. She haunted his mind and his soul, leaving him with absolutely nowhere to hide.

Julian used to regret missing out on the thrill of first love in his youth, but now, the joy of experiencing such raw, all-consuming devotion at the age of thirty was beyond anything he could have imagined.

He felt like an old wooden house entirely engulfed in flames—burning wildly, recklessly. He had lost all sense of propriety, and he didn't care if it destroyed him.

He let the intoxicating feeling wash over him, allowing the fire to burn unchecked.

Standing under the icy spray with his eyes closed, he let the cold water cascade over his toned muscles, dropping the temperature again and again until his skin was slick and shivering.

He stayed under the shower for over an hour.

It was easily the longest shower of his life.

Elara Chapman made a special trip to Azure Estates, bringing them a batch of her homemade tortellini. She also brought along a bundle of fresh lotus seeds and a few spectacular lotus blossoms.

When the news of their supposed deaths in Country A had first reached her, Elara had practically collapsed in grief, genuinely believing the two people she adored most in the world were gone forever.

Then, miraculously, she received Julian's phone call confirming they were safe.

Only then did Elara's heart finally settle back into her chest.

Julian briefed her on their master plan and strictly emphasized that the news of their 'deaths' had to remain an absolute secret. Aside from his father and his grandmother, no one else could know.

Elara agreed without a second thought.

When she heard that Julian and Scarlett were planning to get married, Elara beamed with absolute, unfiltered joy.
