Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 458

Emilia gazed at the man before her.

This was Theodore—gentle, endlessly considerate, never someone who would hurt her.

That thought settled her nerves. She smiled.

“Mm,” she murmured, and placed her hand over his as he cupped her cheek.

The ring on her finger caught the light, glinting softly.

All those things in the past—they were behind her now. Today, she was Theodore’s fiancée.

Emilia reached for the glass and took it, casting her eyes to the scenery outside the window.

“Is this the Glenn Group?” she asked.

But the truth was, she’d never really been asleep—just drifting in a half-dream.

Thinking of those days made the present feel even more vivid and real.

Just as she was lost in thought—

Knock, knock!
