Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 925

Seth chuckled at her skepticism. "I'm human, not a god. Why wouldn't I have a secret crush?"

Noreen elaborated, "I just mean, with everything you had going for you back then, if you really liked someone, you could have just openly pursued her and confessed. There was no need to hide in the shadows."

"Though... there is one prerequisite. She'd have to be of legal age. Dating a minor is illegal."

Seth thought about it for a second and replied, "When I met her, she was definitely underage."

Noreen froze.

According to her timeline, she and Seth had met after she had turned eighteen.

So the girl Seth had been secretly crushing on was someone else.

For some inexplicable reason, that realization left a bitter taste in her mouth.

She looked away, sharply pulling her hair out of Seth's grasp.

Seth's palm was left empty, a cold breeze slipping through his fingers.

The temperature in the car plummeted.

She retreated, and he pressed closer.

The two were practically crammed onto one side of the spacious backseat.

Noreen kept her face turned toward the window, her tone masking any emotion. "Stop right there. I have zero interest in your romantic history."

They had known each other for years. If Seth couldn't tell she was genuinely pissed by now, he had no business being around her.

He reached out and gently cupped her face, forcing her to look at him.

Shedding his playful demeanor, his eyes were blazing with absolute sincerity. "There is something I need to clear up right now. I never loved Bianca Lowell."

"Not from the very beginning, and not until the end."

Noreen's defensive posture faltered.

Lillian Laurent had told her the exact same thing not too long ago.

At the time, she hadn't bought it.

After all, hearing is subjective, but seeing is believing.

She had witnessed Seth's devotion to Bianca time and time again.

By that logic, she naturally didn't believe Seth's excuse now.

"My honey was right. Men really do lie through their teeth." Noreen shoved his hands away and issued a direct order to Linda. "Pull over. I'm getting out."
