Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1130

She wanted her to have a good night's sleep.

The moment she laid down, a message from Seth popped up.

He asked if she was asleep yet.

Her fingertips paused before she replied, [Just about to go to sleep.]

He replied instantly.

[Can I call you? I want to hear your voice.]

Staring at those words, Noreen couldn't help but picture the look in his eyes when they were in the car just moments ago.

It had been so deep it could pull her under, laced with an undeniable, intoxicating need.

She actually really wanted to talk to him.

But she was terrified of waking Katy, who finally had a chance to get some decent rest, so she killed the thought.

She typed back, her tone incredibly soft.

[I can't right now. I don't want to wake Katy.]

The other side went silent for a few seconds.

Then he replied with a simple, [Okay.]

But Noreen just knew that he was disappointed again.

She bit her lip, her fingers hovering over the screen for a moment before she slowly typed out another message.

[How about I call you, but I don't say anything. Is that okay?]

The second she hit send, her ears burned hot again.

She wasn't sure if she was just trying to comfort him, or indulging her own reluctance to let the night end.

Seth's response was to immediately call her.

It was as if he couldn't bear to wait a single second longer.

Noreen answered without saying a word, letting only the soft, shallow sound of her breathing travel through the phone.

And yet, even that was enough to leave Seth completely satisfied.

...

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Claire Chase returned to Rivercrest City for her annual holiday break.
