They both drank in silence, the atmosphere surprisingly harmonious and peaceful.

Perhaps it had been too long since she last had a drink, but after just one cup, Serena felt her head starting to spin.

She stood up, intending to pour herself another drink. However, her steps were unsteady, and she stumbled back into the lazy sofa.

Xavier saw this and quickly put down his glass, walking over to her. “Stop drinking. You’re already a little drunk.”

“I’m not drunk!” Serena waved her hand in protest, “I have a high alcohol tolerance! Come on, pour me some more!”

“You can’t drink anymore!” Xavier reached to take the glass from her hand, but she quickly dodged him.

Laughing lightly, he said with a tone of indulgence, “You’re so drunk you can’t stand, but your hands are still so nimble…”

“Drunk? Who’s drunk?! I’ll tell you, I’m famous for

    Tears fell uncontrollably, and Serena sobbed as she wrapped her arms around Xavier's neck. "It's all your fault!"He was stunned for a moment, letting her pull herself closer. "Serena, what do you...?!"Serena could no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy. She just felt overwhelmed with grievance and urgently needed an outlet for her emotions.She pulled Xavier close and buried her face in his shoulder, sobbing like a wounded little animal, her shoulders shaking with each cry.A warm hand rested gently on her back, patting her soothingly, "Serena, it’s okay, don’t cry, don’t be afraid. I’m here for you."She cried for what felt like a long time, but eventually, the sobs died down.Maybe the alcohol in her system had evaporated with the tears, and she was feeling clearer.When she came to, she suddenly let go, sat up straight, and stared blankly at Xavier.He studied her eyes carefully, seemingl

    Xavier smirked, replying defiantly, "I’ve known Serena my whole life. I’ve seen all sides of her. Rest assured, she didn't embarrass herself in front of me, so there's no need for an apology. Besides, Serena is an independent person. If she has anything to say, she can tell me herself. There's no need for you to personally apologize to me.""Heh." A soft laugh came from the other end, and Clint fell silent again."Alright, Mr. Beckett, goodbye!" Xavier said, about to hang up."Mr. Blaze!" A hurried call came through the phone."Is there anything else?!" Xavier's brow furrowed slightly."I need to speak with Serena. Could you return her phone to her?"Xavier raised an eyebrow and glanced at Serena with a probing look, silently asking, "He wants to talk to you... you...?!"Serena, annoyed, pushed her disheveled hair behind her ear. After a moment, she stretched her hand out. "Give it to me!"Xavier didn’t stop her and handed th

    After hanging up the phone, Clint hurried back.When he entered the house, the butler was startled. "Mr. Beckett, how come you're back? Didn't you say you had something important tonight and would be working late, not coming back?!"Clint handed his coat to the butler without replying, and instead, asked in a low voice, "Has she come back?""She?!" The butler was confused. "Oh, Mrs. Beckett went to her family’s home and hasn’t returned for several days.""Got it," Clint replied shortly, not saying more.The butler couldn’t read his mind, so he reported proactively, "Today, Miss Castano called the house. She said she needed to see you. I told her you weren’t home, but she seemed skeptical, saying she called the Beckett Corp, and your secretary said you were at home. Is there some misunderstanding here?"Clint didn’t even turn his head, "Don’t worry about it. Next time she calls, no matter whether I’m

    "You..." After a brief moment of confusion, Poppy quickly regained her composure, forcing a smile. "Mr. Blaze, how come you're here?!"Xavier smirked, his smile not entirely serious, and replied, "If you can come, why can't I?!"At this moment, Clint had already approached the door. Upon seeing who it was, his face revealed unmistakable disappointment, but he still politely spoke, "Mr. Blaze, it's an honor to have you visit. Why didn’t you notify us in advance?"Xavier, acting as though he were returning to his own home, put his hands behind his back and entered without waiting for an invitation.As he walked toward the living room, he casually spoke, "I’m here on someone else’s behalf.""On someone else’s behalf?!"Poppy didn't know the history between Xavier and Serena. After being slapped that day, she only assumed that Serena was two-timing and had latched onto Xavier as a way out.Hearing him say that, she naturally tho

    Xavier let out a low chuckle, tilting his head slightly as if recalling something amusing. "Well, not exactly. The original words were much harsher than that!""She... didn't she always refuse to divorce before?!" Clint slumped onto the sofa, muttering to himself, "Wasn't she always unwilling to divorce before?!""Mr. Beckett!" Xavier's patience seemed to have reached its limit. He abruptly stood up from the sofa, putting away his usual nonchalant expression and speaking seriously. "There’s a limit to how much you can bully someone! Serena is such a good woman, and you don’t cherish her, so just let her go. Don’t waste someone else’s chance to treat her well!"With that, he turned to leave, but then stopped after a couple of steps and turned back. "By the way, that first part of the sentence, it’s Serena’s exact words.""And just so you know, I didn’t come here to talk to you. Everything I said was just a one-way notifica

    Xavier scratched his messy hair, not offering further explanation, but he asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?""Much better!" Serena explained awkwardly, "I used to drink a lot, but I guess I hadn’t done it in a while, so my body wasn’t used to it.""Well, now that no one’s restricting you, you can drink as much as you want. Just tell me, and I’ll bring you the best wine in the world!"Serena pressed her lips together, "No, no, I... ""Serena, after everything that’s happened, are you still going to push me away?!""No... it’s not that! It’s just that one shouldn’t receive a reward without merit. I can't accept such an expensive gift from you for no reason, right?""What's so expensive about it? Just a few bottles of red wine.""I know that the Blaze family is incredibly wealthy now, but..."

    When Serena arrived at Clint’s company, it was exactly 9:55, neither too early nor too late.The secretary seemed to have received an advance notice from Clint and knew she was coming.Upon seeing her, he simply nodded and politely greeted her, "Good morning, Mrs. Beckett," then led her toward the CEO's office.Following behind him, Serena sarcastically thought, this title of ‘Mrs. Beckett’ would probably change hands before long."Please, Mrs. Beckett, Mr. Beckett is already waiting for you inside.""Alright, thank you!"The secretary wisely left, and Serena turned to look at the imposing, jet-black door in front of her.Finally, they had come to this day!Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand firmly and pushed the door open.Clint was sitting behind a leather executive chair, looking down at the documents on his desk.Hearing the door open, he raised his head and looked at her.

She glared at Serena and continued angrily, “Clint, have you forgotten the torment and pain this woman brought you?! Didn’t you say you’d stay far away from her?! Think about Uncle Beckett!

    Poppy stood in front of her, blocking her way. "Serena, let's talk.""Talk?! What do we have to talk about?!" Serena snapped."There are some things, about Uncle Beckett, that I think you might be interested in.""Uncle Beckett?!" Serena raised an eyebrow. "You mean Clint's father, Gaius?!""Who else could it be?!" Poppy smirked, pleased that she had caught Serena's attention. She raised her chin. "So, what do you say? Are you coming or not?!"In truth, she had already signed the divorce agreement with Clint, and they were no longer tied to each other. As for his father, there was no need for her to get involved anymore.But Serena couldn't help it; she was the kind of person who couldn’t leave a grudge buried in her heart.Earlier, outside the conference room, Poppy's odd mention of Gaius and Clint’s strange reaction had piqued her curiosity.If no one brought it up again, she might have let it go, but Poppy just wouldn’t st
