Watching You Burn In Regret novel Chapter 226

It was probably just as Dowager Crestwell had said, she thought. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even her flaws were virtues in Lennon’s eyes. The realization brought a subtle, strange feeling to her heart.

Since when had she and Lennon become two people in love?

Just then, a gentle knock came at the door, followed by Hilda’s voice. “Ma’am, dinner is ready.”

Lennon must have heard her too. “Go eat, Mrs. Crestwell,” he said warmly. “The food will get cold if you leave it out.”

Seren murmured an okay and ended the call.

When she opened the door, Hilda gave her a curious look. “Ma’am, your face is so red. Are you feeling ill?”

Seren touched her cheek and found it was burning hot. A moment ago, her mind had been in such a chaotic state of fluster and panic that she hadn’t noticed anything else. Her brain was so useless, she thought with a sigh. A few words from Lennon and it completely short-circuited.

She couldn’t possibly admit that, of course. How pathetic would she sound, admitting she fell apart after a simple phone call?

Suppressing the storm of emotions inside her, Seren kept her expression calm. “I must have been sleeping with the blanket over my head. It probably got stuffy.”

Hilda didn’t seem to doubt her, though she tutted as they walked downstairs. “That’s not a good habit, ma’am, sleeping with the covers over your head. It’s not healthy, and it can’t be comfortable.”

“I’ll have to mention this to the mister.”

Seren’s composure nearly cracked. “Hilda, there’s no need! It was just an accident, not a habit.”
