Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 737

Noreen was honest.

She looked right at Seth and told him clearly, “I did.”

A flicker of hope ignited in Seth’s lifeless eyes. “And now…”

Before he could finish, Noreen cut him off. “But that’s all in the past. I’ve moved on.”

Her words plunged him back into the abyss. She was too calm. From beginning to end, her composure hadn’t wavered. In that moment, Seth had no idea what to do. It seemed he had realized things a little too late. No, far too late.

Years ago, when he had seen Dylan Wilder give Noreen flowers, he hadn't been able to stop himself from rushing to her apartment. The congratulations he’d meant to offer had turned to sarcasm, fueled by jealousy. But Noreen had simply told him that she had repaid everything she owed him.

Seeing the tears welling in her eyes that day, Seth had nearly broken down. He had almost said it. Noreen, I regret it. I'll give up on my revenge. Can we go back to how things were?

But it was all too late. When she said she’d moved on, she meant she no longer loved him.

Noreen prepared to leave again. At that moment, Seth had the overwhelming feeling that if he let her go this time, they would become two parallel lines, never to intersect again.

“Noreen.”

He called out to her again, urgently.

A hint of irritation crossed Noreen’s brow as she turned back to him.

“Do you… do you love him?” he asked, referring to Castle.

Noreen pressed her lips together, her gaze shifting away. “I do.”

“No. Look me in the eye and answer that question again.”

Seth was like a drowning man clinging to his last piece of driftwood. He was desperate.

“Is the answer really that important?” Noreen asked, frowning.

Seth’s jaw tightened. “It’s very important!”
