The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 862

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Samuel Chalmers, I Miss You

Scarlett Jennings stood in place, looking at Samuel Chalmers, her eyes slightly trembling.

The North Spirit Stone on her chest was gently pressed against her, and through the fabric, it seemed to convey a heartbeat similar to a heart from the familiar stone body.

She always knew this stone was special, but she never imagined that the so-called unique mineral that had never been discovered was actually his heart.

The Vital Stone, he actually gave something so important to her.

Whether it was helping her to recover her Spiritual Energy at any time or helping her to absorb and purify the Demon Energy within the Demon Bone.

It turned out it was him all along.

Even though he chose to hide his identity as the Dragon Vein, he had been protecting her in his own way.

Her heart felt gently wrapped by something, warm, yet slightly sour.

Scarlett looked at Samuel in front of her, and it was as if through the layers of Golden Light, she saw another familiar version of Samuel.

After a long moment, she suppressed the numerous emotions in her heart, trying to appear calm, though her voice carried a hint of unavoidable hoarseness,

she asked him,

"Did you tell me this because... you want to take it back?"

As she said this, there was a tension in Scarlett’s eyes that even she hadn’t noticed.

Realistically speaking, if this stone was indeed the Vital Stone of the Dragon Vein, Samuel, as its owner, had every right to take back what was essentially his half heart.

But in her heart, she didn’t want to give it back to him.

This was a gift Samuel had given her.

And it was her only proof that he continued to exist.

Not as a noble being like the National Protection Dragon Vein, but as her fiancé, Samuel Chalmers.

Samuel met her eyes, which clearly trembled but were pretending to be calm, and as his finger touched the Vital Stone, it seemed to feel her heartbeat through the stone.

In his mind, her black-and-white scenes, her eyes alone were illuminated with brilliance.

After a long moment, he withdrew his fingertips from the Vital Stone and simply said,

"Since it’s something I gave to you, I never planned to take it back."

He said,

"I told you this simply because I felt you should know."

After all, in his memories, there seemed to be quite a few things he hadn’t told her.

Originally, he could have remained silent, as even now, in the fragmented memories between them, he still couldn’t sense his feelings for her.

Or perhaps... affection.

But by telling her, even if she encounters a situation where she faces corruption alone, she would be consciously able to protect herself.

That was good enough.

Samuel considered this a "reminder" to his partner in the ongoing evil demon case, ignoring the subtle, barely noticeable tug at his chest.

As for Scarlett, upon hearing Samuel did not intend to take back the North Spirit Stone, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, returned to their respective small courtyards.

Deep in the night.

Scarlett sat alone leaning against the headboard.

Originally, with matters concerning Cassidy, and the upcoming internal selection competition of the Mystical Sect, she had a lot to prepare for.

But now, she didn’t want to do anything.

Sitting at the head of the bed, her mind continuously replayed the scene of Samuel giving her the North Spirit Stone, and what he said today about the Vital Stone.

The more she thought about it, the more her heart seemed to swell with a vague sensation.

She couldn’t decipher what the complex emotions were for, just reaching out to gently grasp the North Spirit Stone on her chest.

Her palm easily wrapped around the black droplet pendant, and Scarlett held onto it, leaning over, her whole body collapsing onto the bed.

Her body slightly curled, she pressed the half Vital Stone tightly against her chest, where her heart was beating.
