Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 776

"Just seeing her, hearing her say a few words… I've already won."

After all, he no longer had any right to even see her.

He even asked Jude, "Once she's said all the most hurtful things she can, do you think she'll be willing to talk to me then?"

Jude was speechless.

What was he supposed to say to that?

…

For the next two days, Noreen was busy, leaving early in the morning and coming home late at night.

But to her relief, Seth didn't show up at the Joyner estate or at her office.

It seemed he had finally given up.

Noreen breathed a sigh of relief.

Claire arrived on Thursday, and Noreen went to the airport to pick her up personally.

It was clear she had been well taken care of. Aside from a bit of a tan, she finally had some color back in her cheeks.

Wilbur had come with her.

Even without Noreen's instructions, he knew she would be worried about Claire and had volunteered to escort her.

"Your Highnesses, what would you like for dinner tonight? My treat."

Claire raised her hand. "I want a feast! But no seafood, please. I've had so much of it lately that I'm a bit tired of it!"

Noreen laughed. "Don't hold back with him. Just pick the most expensive restaurant. The project he invested in recently just doubled in value. He's loaded."

Claire rubbed her hands together. "In that case, I won't be polite!"

Seeing them both so happy, Wilbur smiled. "Alright."

Claire had looked up recommendations online and found the most popular restaurant in town.

It was indeed excellent.

Noreen especially loved the restaurant's signature dish, Golden Scallops with Pear Essence.

Claire, meanwhile, was busy taking stylish photos, editing a few, and posting them to Twitter.

[Reunited with my ‘Sugar Mommy'!] she captioned it.

She had even changed Noreen's contact name to Sugar Mommy, since she was, quite literally, living off Noreen now.

Noreen thought the photos were nice, so she saved one and posted it to her own Twitter as well.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

Jude was at his wit's end.

Still blank.

He asked Jude, "Why hasn't the Caldwell family made a move yet?"

Jude scratched his head. "How would I know?"

"Was it because I didn't kick hard enough that day?"

"…"

Listen to him. Was that something a sane person would say?

"Let's just talk about food. You have to eat something today, no matter what," Jude said, feeling helpless.

Seth went silent again.

His thumb swiped down, refreshing the page one more time.

The next second, Seth shot upright.

The expression on his face finally changed.

Jude glanced over.

Noreen had finally posted on Twitter!

At this point, he felt like he could bow down and thank her.
