Chapter 1415 A Royal Summons
Moreover, with Doreen’s current condition, she might still be able to shield her health issues from the public eye for a time, but internally, it was no longer a secret she could conceal.
When Eugene and Olivia stepped out of the room, the noise from outside caught their attention.
Following the sound, they saw River and Shannon.
Shannon’s hands were held by River in a strange position, and she had a firm grip on his wrists too.
Shannon was both embarrassed and annoyed. “You jerk, River. Let go of me, or I’ll bite you!”
River’s grip remained firm, and he was stuck between not letting go and not moving. His expression turned awkward as he explained, “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Shannon struggled once more. “Let go!”
Seeing that he didn’t seem to have any intention of releasing her, she abruptly lowered her head and bit his hand.
River winced in pain. “Alright, fine, I’ll let go. Let’s not fight, okay?”
After saying that, he slowly released her, but a small set of teeth marks were left on the back of his hand.
Despite the situation, he didn’t seem angered. Instead, he sported a slight flush, and his gaze at Shannon held a momentary hint of bewilderment.
Shannon shot him an annoyed glare. “Just you wait! I won’t be that careless next time.”
A smile tugged at Olivia’s lips as she exchanged a knowing look with Eugene. The two seemed to be sparring with each other.
However, regardless of how one interpreted it, they seemed to be playfully teasing each other.
Eugene spoke up. “Shannon.”
As if suddenly realizing their presence by the door, Shannon quickly recomposed herself and hurried over in a few brisk steps. “Mr. Nolan.”
“The Queen wants to meet us. Remember the task I entrusted to you.”
Shannon lowered her head slightly. “Rest assured, Mr. Nolan.”
