Watching You Burn In Regret novel Chapter 211

Sheridan stood under the streetlight, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit villa, but no one came out. Seaside City, located in the northern part of Veridia, was a place where winter nights were freezing, far colder than in Riverbend City. The wind here wasn't gentle either; it was a biting, bone-chilling cold that made Sheridan shiver.

Five minutes passed. Then ten. Then half an hour. The hands on his watch ticked past ten o'clock. Seren didn't come down. She didn't even reply to his messages. The cold light of his phone screen illuminated the one-sided conversation—only his messages, unanswered, lay in the chat window.

He had traveled across the country, spending countless hours and immense effort, yet she wouldn't even come down to speak with him for a minute.

Sheridan was not a patient man; he had never waited for anyone for more than fifteen minutes in his life. No one had ever dared to make him wait. Tonight was a first. He had already waited half the day for her to return, and now he was prepared to wait all night. He was convinced that if he waited long enough, her heart would soften, and she would eventually come down to see him.

As the night grew colder, Sheridan called his assistant, who had traveled with him. "Bring me a coat. I'm at Rippling Gardens."

The assistant, who had just collapsed into bed after a long day, answered with a weary "okay." Watching this real-life drama unfold was far less entertaining than seeing it in a movie. When your boss was the one groveling, all you could think was: *Oh, for the love of God, please spare me from this mess!*
