Chapter 673 Illusion (2/2)

Sean said nothing more. But he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss forehead, promising her that he would be back soon.

”Okay.” Emily lowered her voice, for added effects.

Finally it was time for Sean to leave. He was happy to see Emily's lovely face before he left for the airport.

Just like it always was.

As if nothing had changed.

Sean dragged his luggage, preparing to board the plane with his secretary when out of the blue, something came to his mind and his facial expression changed drastically.

”We have to go back.”

Leaving everybody behind in astonishment, Sean drove back to the castle as fast as he could.

He wasn't sure why, but he felt great discomfort in his heart. His instincts were telling him that he would never see Emily again if he had left this time.

'Something doesn't feel right. I have to go back and check.'

Sean hopped into his car and drove as fast as he could, under the speed limit of course, to get to the castle. He pushed open the door...

Startled by the abrupt nature of Sean's appearance, Emily, who was peeling a fruit with a knife got scared and accidentally cut her finger. Blood gushed out and dripped from the tip of her finger to the floor.

”Cloris!” Sean's eyes reddened and wavered in desperation. He rushed towards her and held her face up.

”I'm fine.” Before Emily could draw her hand back, Sean slipped her finger into his mouth and licked her wound with his tongue.

”Stop! You don't have to do that.” Emily pulled her hand politely so as to not offend him. Sean didn't take her gesture as rejection, instead he fetched the medical kit and sterilized her wound, wrapping it with bandage.
