Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 618

"Time to run!" Felicia thought as she dashed away at lightning speed.

Seeing her fleeing figure, Stephan couldn't help but chuckle. He reflected for a moment. Had he really been too much for her? But at the same time, he found her reaction utterly adorable. It seemed he liked her even more now.

With a smile in his eyes, Stephan glanced at the calendar. It was already approaching June. The early summer weather would be just nice. Perhaps it was time to prepare for their wedding…

Would he need to propose to her first before the wedding?

What kind of setting and proposal style would be the most romantic?

That was an important matter, and it needed to be planned soon.

As Stephan was lost in thought, a knock on the door interrupted him. Stanley entered respectfully and hesitantly asked, "Sir, Mrs. Russell just left. Should we assign someone to protect her in secret?"

"No need." Stephan's response was firm and without hesitation.

Stanley almost thought he misheard. "What? No need? But what if she encounters danger…"

Of course, Stephan had considered this possibility, but he believed in Felicia.

She was never a helpless chick. She possessed unwavering determination, resilience, and an indomitable spirit. No matter how fierce the winds, she would soar against the current and conquer the skies.

Because she was Felicia!

Imogen remained hesitant.

Seeing her reluctance, Archie hardened his expression and played his trump card, saying coldly, "You just don't trust me! Otherwise, would you be guarding against me like a thief? I'm only doing this out of kindness, wanting to ease your burdens.

"As a member of the Russell family, I should step up and take charge, yet you keep rejecting me. In the end, you simply don't believe in me! Imogen, I never expected you to see me as such a despicable person. You've truly broken my heart and disappointed me greatly!" Archie stated loudly in a righteous tone.

Hearing his words, Imogen almost burst out laughing on the spot. It took her a great deal of effort to suppress the smirk tugging at her lips and the disdain in her eyes from showing.

What a grandiose speech. To outsiders, it might sound like Archie had single-handedly supported the Russell family! Just who did he think he was?

The more Imogen listened, the more nauseated she felt. She loathed her past self. How could she have ever fallen for such a hypocritical and deceitful scoundrel?
