Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2471

"O' heaven and earth, heed my call. All ill intents, rout the abyss…"

Skylar's familiar spell rang with the righteous energy of the Golden Decree. For Olivia, this was the comfort spell and lullaby she'd fallen asleep to countless times over the past two years.

No one knew it better than she did that this was her voice. No one but him would remember this secret password he once gave her.

Olivia knew almost immediately that the man standing before her was Skylar. It was true that he'd come to her.

As her eyes welled up with tears, her voice cracked with emotion as she threw herself at him."Skylar! What took you so long?"

Just like back then, she now rushed into his arms in search of security and warmth, but she misjudged their locations and the distance between them.

Dressed in layers of elaborate 19th-century costume for filming and struggling through the rough mountain terrain, Olivia had barely taken a step forward when her foot caught on something. Before she could react, she lost her balance and tumbled forward.

"Ah!" she yelped, instinctively shutting her eyes. This was going to be embarrassing.

But instead of the expected fall of shame, she was caught in a firm, warm embrace.

When Olivia snapped back to her senses, she saw Skylar kneeling on one leg with his knee nearly touching the ground. Yet, his body remained steady as he held her tightly against him.

His strong arm was wrapped tightly around her waist as her hands instinctively clung to his shoulders. He was so close that she could clearly feel his warm breath brushing against his forehead.

Olivia's heart skipped a beat, and as the realization settled in, it began racing wildly.

The tips of her ears burned, though she didn't notice his were just as red.

Skylar shifted to stand and lifted her effortlessly. She ought to have pulled away, but for some reason, her hands refused to budge from his shoulders.

She couldn't let go, and more than that, she didn't want to.
