Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 436

Felicia couldn't help but steal a few glances. However, her mind was instantly filled with the intense moments she had shared with Stephan, prompting her to look out the window to distract herself.

Stephan seemed to notice and gave her a teasing smile.

Felicia, fearing he might tease her, shifted the conversation before he could say anything. "You have to be careful of Maurice. He's crazy and unpredictable!"

"Okay," Stephan responded casually, but Felicia could see a flicker of ruthlessness in his eyes.

It wasn't directed at her, of course. It was for Maurice.

The two definitely had a grudge against each other—the kind where they wouldn't rest until the other was dead…

Felicia decided it was best to stay away from both of them in case she got caught in the crossfire.

Soon after, the car stopped in front of a villa.

Felicia unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to exit when a warm hand gripped her wrist. She instinctively turned around, only to find Stephan's face mere inches from hers.

"You…" Felicia didn't get to say anything more as Stephan silenced her with a kiss.

This kiss was soft and gentle. Felicia was caught off guard, and Stephan quickly pulled away.

"Felicia, you like me." Stephan chuckled softly. It wasn't a question but a statement. It was almost assertive and arrogant, even.
