The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 644

Ferris was standing near the entrance, deep in conversation with Officer West.

He was the kind of man who commanded attention effortlessly. Even just standing there silently, his aloof elegance and striking, aristocratic profile made it impossible for me not to look at him.

My eyes lingered on his dark silhouette for a fraction of a second before I forced myself to look down and keep walking.

It made perfect sense for him to be here. He was a key figure in this case, considering I was only kidnapped because of his enemies.

Plus, his precious Zoey was still locked up inside. He was undoubtedly here pulling every string he had to get her out.

He really went above and beyond for that woman.

Officer West noticed me approaching and waved. "Ms. Hayes, over here."

Ferris immediately turned his gaze toward me.

As his eyes landed on my face, the corners of his mouth tilted up into a faint smile. Behind the silver rims of his glasses, a sudden spark ignited in his eyes, lighting up his usually cold demeanor.

"Selena," he said, his voice surprisingly warm.

He stepped toward me, looking as if he had something important to say, his smile unusually intimate.

Hearing him use my first name so affectionately in front of other people made my skin crawl. I frowned, opening my mouth to tell him off.

But Caspian's smooth chuckle floated up from behind me. "What a coincidence. Fancy seeing you here, Dr. Sterling."

I felt my shoulder brush against Caspian's chest as he stepped up to my right, flashing Ferris a bright, challenging smile.
