Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 664

Scarlet shifted gears and hit the gas in one smooth motion, sending up acloud of dust as the car sped off. It quickly vanished from view.

It wasn’t until Maurice was completely out of sight that Scarlet finally spoke up, “Boss, do you really think he went to all that trouble just for a bottle of medicine? Doesn’t that

“I don’t know,” Felicia replied with a frown. Maurice’s unpredictable nature always kept her on edge. Though he had toned it down a bit recently–even letting Dexter and Myra go during the rainforest incident it didn’t change the fact that Maurice was a dangerous man,

The best way to deal with someone like him was to stay far, far away.

A thought suddenly struck Felicia. She glanced at the back of her hand, where Maurice had patted her earlier. For some reason, that spot felt faintly itchy.

But after inspecting it closely, she saw nothing unusual.

Was it just her imagination?

Shaking her head, Felicia muttered, “I should keep my distance next time.”

Before long, the car returned to the Russell residence.

Later that evening, Stephan arrived home. Felicia, meanwhile, was in the bedroom, packing her belongings.

She had come here on short notice and had brought almost nothing with her, but after a few days of staying at the Russell residence, her things had somehow multiplied. Stephan had insisted on buying her clothes and essentials, filling up the walk–in closet with everything she could possibly need

Not wanting to bother with a suitcase, Felicia packed only the items she had actually used into a backpack.

As she zipped it up, the bedroom door swung open. Felicia looked up to see Stephan walking toward her, unbuttoning his shirt as he came closer.

The bright lights made everything feel a bit surreal, and even when he was standing right in front of her, his handsome features looked almost too perfect to be real

Felicia cleared her throat and was just about to look away when Stephan cupped her chin, thing her head upward. A moment later, his warm, dry lips pressed against hers. “Did you miss me?

e?” Stephan asked.

Felicia blinked and countered, “Do you want the truth or a lie?”

The answer was obvious. If she asked like that, it meant she hadn’t missed him much. Stephan let out a small laugh, then teasingly bit her lip. “I knew you’d say that, you heartless little thing.

Felicia couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright I missed you a little!”

To emphasize, she held up her fingers to show just how tiny “a little was. Stephan raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Is that y

idea of comforting me?

Felicia was tempted to tease him further but decided against it for the sake of her sleep. She offered a few sweet words, finallycoaxing a smile from his dark, brooding eyes. However, she underestimated Stephan’s knack for payback. That single comment led to him “teasing” her all night long, leaving her utterly exhausted

It wasn’t until down that Felicia finallyfell asleep, utterly drained

Today was the day she was supposed to return to Khagend, but with the Russell family’s private jet at her disposal, she didn’t bother setting an alarm. By the time she woke up, it

was dready noon…

After washing up and eating, it was already 2:00 pm

“Let’s go,” Felicia said

She exchanged goodbyes with Imogen, who walked with her all the way to the airstrip behind the residence. “Come back anytime,” Imogen reminded her warmly-

Felicia didn’t say much, only giving Stephan a quick glance before boarding the plane with Scarlet.

But just as they were about to step onto the aircraft, something caught Felicia’s attention

From the other end of the airstrip, a strong beam of light flashed several times. Felicia instinctively turned to look and spotted someone on the mountain road holding up a mirror, using the sunlight to signal in their direction.

That person was none other than Johanna!
