The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 116
Late at night, when everyone had begun preparing to sleep one by one,
Dahlia sat by the head of the bed, gazing at Damien’s sleeping face.
Damien had apparently grown very tired from playing excitedly with the puppy all day—no sooner had he lain down on the bed than he fell fast asleep.
The puppy seemed equally exhausted, nestled in Damien’s arms as if knocked unconscious, sound asleep.

‘It would be nice if there were someone trustworthy by his side…’
For a brief moment, Dahlia’s eyes dimmed. Suddenly, Samantha came to mind.

Even if she’d been overwhelmed, Dahlia now felt heavy-hearted for only remembering Samantha this late.
‘As soon as dawn breaks tomorrow, I’ll contact Samantha.’
Samantha would surely be delighted if invited to journey to the Empire together. She must have missed her homeland terribly by now.

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
