Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 714

Noreen was genuinely drunk. She fell asleep as soon as she got into the car, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

Sophia lowered her voice. "Mr. Harcourt, how could you go back on your word!"

He had clearly said this would be the only time!

"I won't disturb her."

"You already are."

After a two-second silence, Seth promised her, "This is the last time."

Sophia bit her lip and finally relented.

The car drove smoothly through the streets as the city lights began to glow, the scenery on both sides receding in the rearview mirror.

Everything was quiet.

The moment Jude's call came in, Seth immediately rejected it.

At the same time, he cautiously glanced at the person in the rearview mirror.

Perhaps because he ended the call so quickly, Noreen wasn't woken by the ringing and continued to sleep lightly.

After dropping her off downstairs, he turned off the engine.

Without the white noise of the moving car, Noreen woke from her light slumber.

Her head was still spinning.

It had been too long since she'd had a drink; her tolerance had completely vanished.

She looked out the window and saw she was home but didn't get out right away.

After rubbing her temples, she instructed the driver, "Take me to Southlake for a bit. I need some fresh air to sober up."

The person in the driver's seat suddenly tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

In the end, he said nothing, simply starting the car and heading toward Southlake.

When they arrived, Noreen didn't get out of the car.

She just rolled down the window, letting the evening breeze drift in.

The wind at this hour was still gentle, carrying a hint of early autumn chill that was sobering.

Noreen leaned against the window, enjoying the breeze for a few minutes before telling the driver to take her back.

When they returned to her apartment building, Claire and Katy were waiting for her outside.
