Watching You Burn In Regret novel Chapter 154

The Ferris wheel reached its highest point in only a matter of minutes, then began its slow descent.

It wasn't until Seren's feet touched solid ground again that she suddenly remembered that old story about Ferris wheels—

They say that couples who ride a Ferris wheel together are doomed to break up—unless, when the wheel reaches its peak, they share a kiss. Only then can they stay together forever.

She and Lennon hadn't kissed at the top.

Did that mean they were destined to part ways?

A strange anxiety twisted in her chest. Without thinking, she turned to Lennon and blurted, "Lennon, you don't think that Ferris wheel legend is real, do you?"

Lennon's eyes grew warm, almost smoldering. Instead of answering directly, he shot back, "Are you planning to leave me?"

Seren shook her head without hesitation, her voice steady. "No. Of course not."

This was marriage, not some childish game.

Besides, Lennon and his whole family had always treated her kindly. Lennon himself was honest and upright, nothing like Sheridan, who never seemed to understand boundaries.

From the very beginning, she'd never even considered leaving Lennon. All she wanted was a marriage built on respect, growing old together, making it through life side by side.

Lennon reached out and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, his fingers gentle as they brushed her cheek.

His voice was low and rough around the edges. "I don't believe in stories like that. I only believe in Mrs. Crestwell's promises."

Seren froze.

Promises?

She couldn't help feeling a little lost, as if Lennon had somehow led her into a trap.

His long fingers traced lightly along her jaw, then brushed the tip of her nose.

With quiet certainty, Lennon said, "We're not going anywhere. I could never leave Mrs. Crestwell, no matter what."
