Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 896

No wonder she was so defensive and prickly back then.

If he had just paid a little more attention to her, cared a little more, communicated a little deeper...

Would they have ended up like this?

But there were no do-overs in life. There were no "what-ifs."

Everything that led to today was his own doing. He had no right to beg for her forgiveness.

He couldn't even forgive himself.

Noreen...

Her name was like an iron grip squeezing his heart, suffocating him, freezing the blood in his veins.

Jude drove him back to his current place in silence.

Honestly, Jude still couldn't believe Seth was living in the tiny apartment Noreen used to rent. The place was incredibly cramped. It was smaller than his master bathroom.

Yet Seth had stubbornly lived here for half a year. And he had zero intention of moving out.

These cheap rentals had absolutely no comfort, and the neighbors were a sketchy mix.

Jude walked him right to the door, reminding him to take his meds, eat on time, and rest up.

Suddenly, a woman's terrified scream erupted from the next apartment. "Help! Somebody help me!"

See? The walls were paper-thin.

Jude was just about to tell Seth he needed to move to Horizon Bay to recover properly. Before he could get the words out, the neighbor's door flew open.
