Old Dreams No Return (Serena) novel Chapter 458

**TITLE: Sleeping With Trouble: My Brother’s Ex-Best Friend 458**
**Chapter 438**

As I stood there, my gaze fixated on those perfectly sculpted eight-pack abs, my heart raced like a startled deer, thumping wildly against my ribcage!

Emmett, looking somewhat flustered, fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. With a hint of hesitation, he extended it towards me, his voice steady yet strained. “I made a promise that I wouldn’t tarnish your reputation. This is an agreement, and I assure you, as soon as I uncover the truth regarding these matters, I will leave at the fastest possible speed, so as not to trouble the young lady!”

With each word he uttered, a surge of anger bubbled within me. I had finally avenged the deep-seated grudge that had haunted me for so long. I had kicked out my ex-husband’s brother and banished that scoundrel Tyrell from my life. Now, it was time for me to reclaim my own existence.

Dressed in a beige traditional gown that exuded a subtle charm, I felt a surge of confidence. My hand playfully hooked around Emmett’s neck as I flashed him a seductive smile.

“Emmett,” I purred, leaning in closer, “were you really that afraid of me? Now that we find ourselves in this romantic entanglement, why are you keeping such a distance? How can I help you if you’re so far away? And what exactly are these documents you’ve signed?”

Was it necessary for him to maintain this distance? Did he not realize that the person I had harbored feelings for since childhood was him, not Leland? Had he never considered the possibility of us forging a deeper connection?
