Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 I Really Regret It 

Seraphina didn’t want to talk about what kind of compensation he wanted anymore. The Droses were never short of money, but who would ever think they had too much? 

It would be better to let Emeris and Sivir handle this sort of thing. 

Seraphina’s distant and polite demeanor caught Orion completely off guard. 

She had long since stopped liking him. 

This sentence pierced his heart more deeply than any scorn or disgust could. It left him frozen, as if a soft stinger were piercing straight into his heart, sending waves of pain through his chest and stomach. 

A sudden wave of bitterness surged inside him. 

The Seraphina of three years ago, who had only eyes for him–he had lost her. 

Orion wasn’t ready to give up. How could he? He wasn’t the type to let go so easily. 

If Seraphina wanted to stab a dagger in his heart, then maybe he deserved it. 

His face paled, but he forced a smile, trying to seem as warm as possible. 

“Seraphina, I’m serious. I want to be with you.” 

His hand, long and elegant like a piece of art, reached out and covered hers. The moment their hands. touched. Seraphina frowned and tried to pull away, but he held on tightly. 

There was no sign of force, but there was no room for refusal, either. 

Seraphina’s gaze froze for a moment. She didn’t attempt to pull away again; instead, she lifted her eyes to meet his. 

Seraphina grinned slightly as she looked directly into his eyes. Her voice was icy and without warmth. 

“Mr. Dros, sometimes, being one–sided is as annoying as being shameless. Just like when I married you- and you hated me for it.” 

They had completely switched places.

Orion’s body frozen at her words. The gentle smile on his face frozen in place, and his chest tightened with a dull ache. 

A panicked tension spread inside him, swelling and expanding. 

He opened his mouth to say something, but Seraphina didn’t give him the chance. 

“Justin, are you there?” She called out toward the door. 

“Yes! Coming! 

Justin replied right away as he stepped inside.

Chapter 2531 Really Regret it 

Seraphina smiled at Orion 

“Mr. Dros, I’ve said everything I needed to say. Now, I’d like to rest 

Orion stood still, staring at her with deep, intense eyes Her beautiful face was now a mask of cold indifference, sharp as a blade. A wave of sorrow passed through him. 

Finished 

His fists clenched at his sides. There were a thousand apologies on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn’t say any of them–because she wouldn’t care. 

Seraphina didn’t even hate him anymore. She was simply not bothered by his affection. 

Justin cleared his throat, looking at Orion with no hint of politeness. 

“Orion, didn’t you hear Seraphina say she’s tired? Can you leave?” 

Justin disliked Orion. Anyone who had hurt his sister wasn’t a good person and, naturally, not worthy of being kind to! 

Seraphina had already turned away and closed her eyes to rest. 

Orion saw the finality in her expression–the unyielding resolve. His heart felt tangled in a web of cnotions he couldn’t quite name. 

Finally, it hit him–Seraphina truly didn’t care about him anymore. 

Orion stood there in silence for a few moments. His voice was still soft, though now tinged with sadness. 

“Rest well. 

He turned to leave, but as he reached the door, he paused for a moment. His voice dropped, low and heavy. “Everything I said was true. You may not be able to accept it now, but Seraphina, I really regret it. 

With that, he left the room.
