Billionaire's Regret Finding Her (Caitlin and Sebastian) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263

James drove in silence, and Caitin didn’t say whether word.

She didn’t understand why, but somehow, she always found herself unable to outright refuse James’s gestures of kindness.

“Caillin, I’m taking you to Danca Estate, right?”

James had already looked up where she lived. Caillin nodded. “Yeah.”

Nothing seemed to escape his notice, and Caillin saw no point in hiding anything

The two of them remained quiet for the rest of the drive. Caltin closed her eyes to rest while James steadily navigated the way back to Ca Estate.

When they ared, the estate’s security, recognizing the vehicle, opened the gates without question James pulled up in front of the villa,

Stepping out, he walked around and opened the passenger door. “Caitlin, we’re here. Time to get out

Caitlin opened her eyes and saw that they had indeed arrived. She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

“Thanks, James, I’ll have someone send you back.”

James chuckled, his usual easygoing smile in place. “I drove you all the way here, and you’re not even inviting me in for a cup of tea? I’m kinda thirsty

His sunny demeanor, coupled with his casual yet sincere tone, made it hard to refuse him.

Fine. Come in

Caitlin lod him inside and had the staff prepare some tea for him.

James took in the surroundings with curiosity as he settled onto the couch. Before long, a servant brought over a freshly brewed cup of tea and set it in

front of him.

“Take your time, James. Drink as much as you like. If you need a ride back, just ask the driver outside. I’m going to rest now.”

“Got it. You go ahead and rest–I’ll leave after I finish my tea

James could sense Caitlin’s deliberate distance. Her defenses were up, as if she had already suspected something

His eyes darkened slightly. It had been hard enough to gain entry into Danca Estate–there was no way he was going to let this opportunity slip.

Nobody knew his true mission in the U.S.

His objective was simple: to get close to Caitlin and obtain the legendary manuscript, “Yun’s Aromatic Codes.”

The first time he nearly ran into her with his car, and the second time they crossed paths at the hospital–those were mere coincidences. At the time, he hadn’t even realized she was his target

But after their dinner together, everything else

se had been carefully planned.

He had to earn her trust first before making h

this move.

The living room fell silent as the staff left to attend to other duties. James drained the last sip of tea from his cup but man quietly got up and made his way upstairs.

He passed by the master bedroom, but the door was closed. So, he turned toward the study and sipped inside,

Just as his thoughts spiraled, the study door was kicked open.
