After five years of loving Trevor, Serena arrives at city hall on Valentine’s Day, ready to finally become his wife—only to discover he spent the night with Amber, the woman he truly loves. When Trevor publicly declares Serena means nothing to him, she ends their engagement and walks away. But her sudden indifference leaves Trevor stunned. Will he regret choosing Amber when Serena is finally gone?
He wasn’t dressed in a suit that day. Beneath a dark gray overcoat was a simple light-gray shirt, the collar casually undone to reveal the sharp line of his collarbones. Below that, the faint outline of defined abs was just visible, lending Sebastian an air of relaxed, almost reckless charm. “Mr. Sebastian?” Sebastian moseyed up,…
She took Amber to a cafe and asked bluntly, her patience already thin, “Amber, are you sure you didn’t come to the wrong place?” “No,” Amber answered quickly. “Serena, I came here to see you.” Lowering her voice, she added apologetically, “I’m sorry to bother you. It’s just that you didn’t go to the hospital…
“Good,” he said, pressing his lips together. “Then… because of who?” His eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint flashing through them. “Someone poured that on you just now, didn’t they? Who dared to do this? Tell me their name-I’ll take care of them.” After that single crying spell, Serena felt a little of the weight in…
“Ms. Steele, Mr. Trevor is in a meeting. Would you like to wait in the reception room?” Dakota replied politely. Serena’s almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh? He summoned me in such a hurry that I assumed your company was on the verge of bankruptcy.” Dakota choked on her words and could only smile awkwardly. Today…
“As for the fees, since she already paid them, just treat it as compensation for all the hard work your nurses and aides have done over the years. How does that sound?” The director chuckled. “As long as the family signs and your mother agrees, we have no objections at all. Then let me thank…
Sebastian sipped his water slowly. “There’s no need. If a thank-you isn’t sincere, it means nothing.” He smirked, eyes glinting with mockery. “I’ve been away for five years, and it seems some things have truly changed since then.” After saying that, he rose and made his way upstairs. Bryce let out another snort before trailing…
Eugene raised his glass first and offered a toast. Right after that, James turned to Serena with a broad grin. “Ms. Steele, I really must toast you, our beautiful lawyer, properly.” Serena was no rookie. Being teased about her looks was the most common kind of social banter at dinners like this. She lifted her…
Eugene shot Serena a sharp look, wondering what was going on-why was she acting so flustered today? He smiled and raised his glass. “Mr. Levine, Serena might be a little nervous today. Please don’t take it personally. I’ll drink with you.” He drained the glass in one go. Sebastian lowered his gaze, scanning the glasses…
“Don’t worry. I won’t be fooled again.” Having been deceived once, Serena wasn’t about to fall for it a second time. Especially when she knew Sebastian had simply offered to drive her home out of courtesy and propriety. The next day at the firm, Eugene didn’t bring up last night’s dinner, and Serena, in silent…
Deanna’s heart jolted as well. She immediately grabbed Serena’s hand and said, “Come, Rena. Whatever you have to say, let’s talk after dinner. It’s almost seven already, so you must be starving.” Nathan, who had remained silent the entire time, glanced at his wife and seemed to understand something as he chimed in, “That’s right.…
