It's Long Over Between Us

Seraphina's face lost all color in an instant, turning even paler than before.

Her eyes widened with disbelief. Had she heard him wrong?

He wanted her?

The very man who once couldn't wait to toss her aside like trash was now choosing her?

She couldn't comprehend it, and even more so, she couldn't convince herself. What was Orion really after?

The silence in the air was suffocating.

Orion's gaze never left her face. He observed every flicker of emotion, every-small detail, as though trying to capture it all.

Shock, confusion, detachment, resistance...

Luckily, there was one emotion missing-disgust.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Orion stepped closer, his hand barely reaching for her hair. He wanted to convey his feelings and showed her his sincerity. He truly meant it.

But before he could touch her, Seraphina recoiled. She stepped back so quickly, it was as if his touch would burn her.

When Kaveh had come close just moments ago, she hadn't reacted this way. Yet now, with Orion...

Her retreat pierced through him, causing a deep ache that he couldn't show.

On the outside, he smiled as if unaffected, but inside, his emotions surged like a stormy sea.

His voice was rough and trembled slightly.

"I'm not joking, Seraphina. These past months... I haven't been much better off than you. I think divorcing you might have been too hasty. Seraphina's brows furrowed as she caught onto something. She turned to face him fully

His eyes-those eyes-held nothing back. They were filled with hope and joy, like a fire that nearly scorched her.

The steady calm she had maintained crumbled when she saw through his emotion. As expected, her heart was pounding wildly. Did she see affection in his eyes?

For just a moment, Seraphina's cold, dormant heart stirred, sending ripples through her.

It wasn't joy that moved her-it was shock.

it's Long Over Between Us

serene, distant state.

Finished

She offered a slight smile. Her gaze hardened as she lifted her face and locked onto his, but it was devoid of any warmth.

"Mr. Dros, what was truly hasty was our marriage."

Divorce had been her decision after three long years of careful consideration.

For her, it was liberation.

The moment she spoke, Orion's body stiffened. The soft warmth in his face gave way to tension, his eyes reflecting a shattered soul.

She met his gaze head-on, unwavering.

If it had been about anything else-anything other than emotions-Orion could've demanded the moon and stars, and Seraphina would've had no reason to refuse

But when it came to love... her heart was no longer in it. She wouldn't fall back into that trap.

"Seraphina, just give me one more chance. I promise, I'll..."

Orion's face was pale. As he looked at her with desperation, his voice was nearly pleading. Before he could finish, Seraphina cut him off.

"Mr. Dros, are you trying to tell me that you regret the divorce? That you've fallen for me?" Orion looked straight into her eyes and nodded.

"Yes."

His voice cracked.

He admitted it. Seraphina had become irreplaceable in his life.

Orion also admitted that his feelings for her were clearer than ever.

And he admitted that when he heard she had been hurt, the pain that tore through him was so sharp, it could only be love.

Divorcing her had been the dumbest mistake of his life. If he could turn back-time, he would do anything, pay any price, just to have her by his side.

Upon hearing his confession, Seraphina merely let out a faint smile. Calmly handed down her final

verdict.

"Mr. Dros, I've long since stopped caring about what happened between us, but I also stopped loving you long ago.

We're not ready for any kind of relationship right now,

I'm grateful for the risks you took to save me. If there's anything you want, feel free to discuss it with my

fuher or my brother. I'm sure

they won't refuse vou
