The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361

When Winter woke again, they had already crossed back into the country. Chris was still holding her tightly in his

arms.

At first, she struggled, but even though she was mostly sober by then, her body was still heavy from the alcohol. After a while, she couldn’t fight the drowsiness anymore and fell asleep again.

Chris held her close. He loosened the slightly messy bun at the back of her head, then took his tie and wrapped it around her wrist instead. His gaze rested openly on her face.

No matter how much time had passed, she was still the same as she had been back then. Whenever she couldn’t find a hair tie, she used one of his ties to pull back her hair.

The helicopter flew through the night.

In another two hours, they would reach Liono City.

Chris lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

In her sleep, Winter shift

unconsciously, her face brushing against his chest. Her lips moved.

“Stop messing around.”

Then, softly, she murmured, “Chris.’

Chris’s arm stiffened around her.

He frowned and pulled her closer, then lowered his head again to kiss her forehead and the crown of her head.

“Winnie,” he whispered, “don’t remember.”

The helicopter landed on the helipad at Blackwood Manor. Chris carried Winter off the aircraft.

Late at night, Blackwood Manor was especially quiet.

Inside the house, General had been sleeping. When he heard the sound of the helicopter blades, his ears perked up and he ran out the front door. Under the moonlight, he saw the black helicopter.

The moment he saw the person in Chris’s arms, his eyes lit up. He wagged his tail and bounded toward them.

But before he could get close to Winter, Chris cast him a faint glance.

The bark that had almost escaped General’s mouth was forced back down. All that came out was a low whimper.

Curious and excited, General followed Chris into the main house with careful, quiet steps.

The main building, which Winter had once set on fire, had already been repaired. The two rooms on the second floor had been opened into one larger bedroom. Chris carried/Winter into the room that looked exactly like the one on the island and laid her down on the soft bed.
