Chapter 387 The Possibility of Remarriage

Orion stood frozen, his entire body tense.

Was she angry because he had thrown away that awful gift, or was it because of his clumsy attempt to confess his feelings?

He clenched his jaw and remained silent. His grip tightening around her wrist.

"Have you made up your mind to be with him?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Seraphina looked at him for a moment before replying "Yeah."

He could hear the sound of his heart shattered into pieces.

"So, you've introduced him to your family?" Orion questioned.

"Yeah," she repeated calmly.

"You're planning to marry him?" His voice grew colder, heavier with each word.

Seraphina looked at him and smiled slightly. She admitted, "Yeah."

Orion's face darkened further, his eyes raging with emotion as his hand trembled against her wrist.

Their silence suffocated him, and the air chill bit his skin.

He felt as though his whole body was freezing over, the cold sinking deep into his bones, numbing him completely.

Orion could accept punishment for his mistakes, but losing Seraphina was a consequence he couldn't bear.

His voice was raw as he finally spoke, "Seraphina, even people who've been to prison are given second chances. Am I not worth even that in your eyes?" His voice was incredibly low. Red streaked Orion's dark, deep-set eyes, the corners tinged with a raw flush.

His chest ached violently, like he'd shattered his own heart with his own hands.

Though her answer wasn't what he wanted, he needed to hear it.

The wind blew gently, cool and indifferent, just like her voice. "Yes."

At that moment, his world crumbled.

Bit by bit, the weight pressed down on him, making it difficult to breathe. There was no hope in sight, and even drawing a breath felt like an impossible task. The air was thick with stillness.

She thought he would lose control, lash out, or do something reckless. Even if he got his way with her, Seraphina knew she would never forgive him. Once bitten, why forgive the bite?

Surprisingly, she pulled her wrist free with barely a struggle.

Finished

Seraphina immediately turned; she scanned her face at the digital lock at the door. In one swift motion, she entered and shut the door behind her. Leaning against the door, she exhaled slowly, her palms damp with sweat.

She hadn't turned on the lights.

Through the window, she watched him. He was walking back to his car, limping, the old injury in his right leg flaring up where she had kicked him. Seraphina's breath hitched. Suddenly, her heart clenched, a sharp pain stabbing through her chest for just

a moment.

Did she feel sorry for him?

No.

He deserved it.

She had long since moved on from the past. But what had he said today?

He wanted to sleep with her.

Because she had been spending time with Wilson, Orion thought marking her as his property was the answer. Is he showing off his claim to the entire world? She scoffed at the thought of his fragile, ridiculous pride. It wasn't worth her time.

Time passed, though she wasn't sure how long. The silence outside remained unbroken, and the sound of an engine starting never came.

Her thoughts drifted to his injured leg, an uneasiness creeping into her mind.

She opened the door again. There he was-standing at the threshold, head bowed in defeat.

A navy blue gift box was in his hand, now smeared with dirt.

It looked out of place compared with his fair hands.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Orion held the box out to her and spoke in a humble manner.

"I picked it up. Please don't reject me, okay?"

His voice was hoarse, and he tasted metallic in his mouth.

Orion felt like he was losing his mind, where he'd thrown away his pride for her.

He even rummaged through the trash to get this back for her.

Because he knew that if he left now, he might never see Seraphina again.

Seraphina stayed silent for a few seconds, not moving.

He remained in the same position, unmoving as well.

After a long pause, Seraphina chuckled and reached out to take the item from his hand.

Finished

She opened it, setting its contents aside on the table, and then tossed the box carelessly to the floor.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Glancing back at him, she said coolly, "You can get lost now."

Their eyes locked. Orion took a step closer and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry."

He was too impulsive and lost control earlier, but it didn't matter.

They weren't married yet, but even if they had been, he would still have fought to win her back.

His expression was filled with complex emotions, and the arrogance he usually showed to others vanished completely in front of her.

Seraphina narrowed her eyes and raised her brows. She asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"Let's remarried!"
