Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 498

On the journey from Khogend to Seldvale, the Fuller couple remained unusually compliant. They neither struggled nor attempted to escape.

They both knew deep down that neither of them would abandon the other. If they couldn't escape together, there was no point in running at all.

Kayla successfully completed her task.

Upon returning to the Carrell residence in Seldvale, she didn't concern herself with where the Fuller couple would be taken. Instead, her first question to the maid at the door was "Has Pete returned?"

"Pete returned not long ago. He's in the main hall."

Perfect!

Upon hearing this, Kayla eagerly ran toward the main hall.

Inside the hall, Pete sat leisurely in a foldable chair made of rosewood, sipping tea with an air of refinement and nobility.

Steam curled upward, partially obscuring his features. His hands, holding the teacup, were strikingly pale, yet pronounced veins crisscrossing beneath the skin. He gave off a unique impression of masculinity.

Kayla instinctively softened her footsteps and voice, calling out sweetly, "Pete."

Pete looked up with his dark eyes. His sharp nose, faintly smiling lips, and kind gaze exuded warmth. In a gentle tone, he replied, "Kayla."

She blushed. After that, she bravely approached him and wrapped her arm around his. In a coquettish and playful manner, she said, "Pete, I've brought the Fuller couple to you. How do you plan to reward me?"

Pete smiled at her and asked, "What kind of reward does my little cousin want, hm?"
