Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 334

Her eyesight was already poor—if her mind started going too, that would be the end of it.

Suppressing a yawn, she waved a hand. “You guys go have your fun. I’m heading back to my room to get some sleep.”

“I…” Healy simply watched Noreen walk away, wide-eyed and helpless.

She really just left.

Seth, who had been frowning moments ago, finally relaxed a little. He shot Healy an impatient look. “What are you standing around for? Move it.”

…

Jude didn’t arrive in Glenhaven City until late that night.

Originally, he was supposed to come with Bianca for the Game Developers Conference, but something came up with his dad and delayed him.

As soon as his plane landed, he called Bianca.

When he learned she was at the hospital, his worry shot through the roof. He immediately got the address and headed straight there by taxi.

When he arrived, he found all three of them sporting fresh injuries.

He just stood there, dumbfounded. “What on earth happened?”

Seth’s expression was icy—he clearly wasn’t in the mood to explain.

Healy was sulking, refusing to say a word.

Only Bianca offered a rundown. “It was honestly just a misunderstanding. We bumped into Healy at the conference. Seth called to invite him to dinner, but Healy hung up. I was worried there was some tension, so I pressed Healy for details. Maybe I sounded too harsh or didn’t phrase things well—Healy got upset and shoved me. Seth tried to defend me and punched Healy, and then the two of them just started brawling.”

“I got hurt trying to break them up.”

Jude couldn’t believe it. “Are you two toddlers or what? Who fights their own friends like this?”

Healy scoffed. “Ask him—he threw the first punch.”

“If I’m gonna hit you, I don’t need to wait for a special occasion,” Seth shot back, still glaring.

Trying to break the tension, Jude joked, “Come on, you know how protective Seth is of Bianca. Why’d you have to push her?”

“I didn’t push her—he’s the one who flew off the handle for no reason.”

If she’d had breakfast yet.

Noreen replied that she hadn’t—she was just about to head down to the restaurant.

“Make sure you go right when you walk in. Don’t come left.”

Noreen immediately got his meaning and sent back an OK emoji.

“Who’re you messaging so early in the morning?” Jude craned his neck, trying to sneak a peek.

Healy quickly shielded his phone. “None of your business.”

“Hiding your sweetheart from us?”

“Can’t you shut up and just eat for once?”

Despite his words, Healy was clearly in a good mood—after all, Noreen had texted him back.

Bianca caught the whole exchange, her gaze darkening.
