Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 111
Willow shook her head. Composing herself, she got into the car to head to the hospital.She had only just started the car when she got a call from Carmen. "Lo, is this how you want things to be between you and your father? For heaven's sake, what will people think of your spat? I expected better behavior from our daughter!""It'd be stupid of me to stay and wait for you and Dad to sell me off!" Willow snapped.Carmen argued, "Enough with that nonsense, Lo! I'm your mother. I'm only looking out for your best interests! Leonard is good-looking and comes from a good family."He's kind and humble, unlike the other swaggering scions. He's a fine young man, Lo. You'll see what I mean once you get to know him."Willow could have scoffed. "Yes, you're right. He's not like the other scions. Of the 19 roses he gave me, three of them were wilted! Is that the romantic pursuit you'd expect from a guy with money? If I didn't know better, I'd think the bouquet was trash left on my doorstep!""L

Willow watched as Leonard left in a rage and rolled her eyes. She'd heard he was a mommy's boy, but she didn't think he had a huge ego, to boot.She was rolling her eyes when she caught the door of her consultation suite opening, and a man with a towering build entered. It was Arthur.Willow blinked, then broke into a meaningful smile. "Seems like everyone's pretending to be sick just to see me. What gives?"Arthur crossed the room to her, his coat hanging loosely on his tall and straight silhouette. The gold-rimmed glasses he wore accentuated his finely chiseled features, playing up his gentlemanly charm."You mean Leonard? I ran into him outside your office. He looked pretty pissed," he remarked."Do you know him?" Willow asked."Yes. Our family has business dealings with the Joneses, so we've met." As Arthur made himself comfortable and took his seat, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. "Did he come to ask you out on a date?""I wouldn't say that," she said with a sigh. "My p

Wilson had been on his feet since the early morning and met with several clients consecutively. Serena shadowed him the entire time and did her fair share of work, too.It wasn't until noon that they finally took a breather. Wilson had turned down his client's offer to grab lunch together and found a quiet, ornate restaurant to dine in.Shrugging off his jacket, he draped it over the back of a carved rosewood chair and sauntered over to one side of the room where an elaborate water feature hosted a school of goldfish. He stopped and stared at the fish as they darted back and forth in the man-made pond.Serena asked, "What do you feel like having, Mr. Quade?""Anything's fine. I'm not picky," Wilson answered.Serena and Sebastian ordered a couple of dishes off the menu. She closed the menu after that and glanced at Wilson. Her conversation with Willow earlier today flickered through her mind, and she couldn't help feeling sorry for Wilson as she stared at his forlorn silhouette.A

Serena pursed her lips and approached the grave. Justin's gaze was soft as he greeted her, "Hey, Serena.""When did you get here?" she asked."A while ago." Justin stood by the side and watched as she set the roses and daisies before the tombstone. He said, "You were just a kid the first time we came here. You were hugging the tombstone and weeping to the point of passing out. I had to piggy-back you home after that, remember?"Serena said nothing. She remembered. She had cried a lot during the first few years after her parents' passing but stopped after she moved in with the Farrows, not wanting to trouble them with her grief.Even if she did feel like crying, she'd only ever do it in front of Justin. Over the years, he had accompanied her when she visited her parents' graves.He was reliable in that regard, and he made a point to show up even after their relationship grew strained. On the days he couldn't, he'd have someone go in his place to light candles for her parents.Sere

Justin's gaze darkened. "You don't have to trouble yourself. I'll give Serena a lift."Wilson said nothing but kept his eyes on Serena, waiting for her answer. Only then did she snap out of her daze and try to break free from Justin's hold. However, she saw the backseat window of the Bentley roll down to reveal Desiree.Serena went still."He's involved with someone else. You'd only be third-wheeling if you went with him. Come on, I'll give you a lift," Justin said."Mr. Quade is my superior," Serena hissed."He doesn't look at you like a superior does, not from what I've seen. You must know he's marrying Desiree. It'd be ignorant of you to go with him now," Justin countered. He added quietly, "Come with me. Grandma's been talking about you. You should give her a call."Serena hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Wilson. "Mr. Quade, head back with Ms. Stone without me."A stormy look flashed in Wilson's eyes. She thought he would deliver a sharp comeback, but he remained word

Beatrice beamed, and before hanging up, she said, "No backtracking!"After the call ended, Justin kept his phone in his pocket. "Come along, then."Serena took a few steps away from him and headed in the other direction. "I can get a cab.""Serena, you're—" Justin argued."Quade Group is out of the way for you if you're heading to Farrow Corporation," Serena cut him off curtly, her pretty face impassive. "I don't want to come between Desiree and Mr. Quade, but I don't want anything to do with you, either."Justin fixed her with a steely look. "What if I were to break up with Candice?""I told you before that Candice wasn't the problem, but you'd never understand." Serena turned and ran down the steps. Upon leaving through the cemetery gates, she slid into one of the cabs idling by the curb and disappeared from Justin's sight.…Inside the Bentley, Desiree explained softly, "I didn't know it was your mom's death anniversary today until my father told me. I figured I'd come by an

Serena swung by the supermarket after work before heading home. She was about to enter her neighborhood when she had the odd feeling of being watched.She turned, but when she found nothing and no one suspicious, she headed into her apartment building.She filled Bingo's bowl with kibbles. She was about to make dinner when her phone rang with a new message.It was from the same unknown number, and the text was more lewd than the last one. "I secretly followed you all the way home. I was fantasizing about you while I was jerking off. I can't hold on much longer. I want to…"Serena gagged at the rest of the text, which was unspeakable. She felt like a wet tongue was licking her through her phone screen. She wanted to throw her phone away.She willed herself to calm down as she recalled the feeling she'd had earlier on her way home. So, she hadn't been imagining it when she sensed someone watching her. The creep must have been in the area! Who could it be?Just then, the doorbell ra

After a while of dry-heaving, Bingo hurled out a chunk of what appeared to be undigested kibbles. Willow cried, "Serena, Bingo just threw up!"Serena hurried over and carefully cleaned Bingo's vomit before gingerly pulling the feline into her arms. It looked lethargic. "Bingo's temperature feels wrong. I have to make a trip to the vet.""I'll come with you," Willow offered, grabbing the cat carrier before they headed out with Bingo in tow.Downstairs, Serena stopped by the gates and waited for Willow to bring the car around. She was getting anxious and impatient when she noticed a figure darting around the corner.The figure had moved quickly, but not before Serena realized it was a man. She suddenly remembered something and hurried to the security booth just a few feet away.The security guard on duty was a young man. His legs were crossed, and he was scrolling through his phone when Serena approached him. "Hi, I live in the area. I was wondering if you could retrieve the securit

Gary's face darkened as he glared at William. "William, is this how the Quades treat me?"William was casually sipping his coffee. "Gary, there's nothing I can do. I can't even control this rebellious son of mine.""How dare you—" Gary tried to say something but was cut off by William."I'm tired. I'm going to head back now." William stood up from the couch and walked past Wilson before patting him on the shoulder.Wilson's eyes were thoughtful. He knew William was telling him not to go too far.After William had left, the tension in the office thickened.Gary's glare sharpened. "Wilson, you're really willing to turn against my family over some insignificant woman?""Desiree laid a hand on my people. Consider yourself lucky I haven't slapped you in the face. This? This is me showing you respect." Wilson's expression turned cold, the atmosphere in the room growing heavier.Gary felt the chill in his tone. He scoffed, rage bubbling beneath his smirk. "Great. Just great. If I had

After the Collinsworth brothers left, Lila returned. She carried a bag with mushroom soup, buns, and milk as she walked in. "Mr. Farrow, you should eat something.""It's okay. I'm not hungry." He had no appetite. His gaze lingered on her before asking, "Where were you last night?""I was at work, Mr. Farrow. You know that the club runs night shifts. I only get off in the morning," Lila explained.Upon hearing that, an unexplainable anger rose in his chest. "Are you still working at the club?""Yes," Lila replied softly."Didn't I tell the manager to give you the money? Now that your mom's surgery fees are covered, why are you still working there?" Justin asked."I…" Lila's eyes darted nervously."Do you really have to degrade yourself like this?" Justin frowned.Lila paused for a moment before saying, "That's my own private matter. Mr. Farrow, you have no business interfering with where I work."Justin let out a cold laugh. "You got the money, and now you're standing tall? Fin

Joseph, Arthur, and Lila were there.His gaze immediately locked onto Lila. "What are you doing here?"Joseph and Arthur exchanged glances. What a friend he was. The first thing he cared about after waking up was Lila? No loyalty to his own friends whatsoever.Lila gave a small, polite smile. "My phone was off earlier. When I turned it back on, I saw multiple missed calls from you. I called back, but Mr. Collinsworth answered."Arthur shrugged. "She asked about you, so I told her what happened. Then she came over."Lila looked a little guilty. "I'm sorry, Mr. Farrow. I was at work yesterday and didn't see your calls. Did you need something?"Did he need something? Not really. He had just left Serena's place last night, feeling unbearably empty, and he needed something or someone to fill the void. So, he thought of her. "Nothing important. It's all good now."Sensing that they had things to discuss, Lila stood up. "I'll step out for a bit."Once she was gone, the hospital room f

Joseph countered, "Starting a business is challenging in the beginning. Just hold on a little longer. Once the company takes off, I'll…""Oh, let me guess. You'll give me a raise and promotion and lead me to the pinnacle of life? Yeah, I'm done buying into your empty promises!" Lauren waved him off. "Alright, I'm here. You can go now."Seeing her step into the elevator, Joseph didn't follow. He only turned around and walked away once the doors closed.Lauren's apartment was an old, rundown building. It was a resettlement unit with four houses sharing a single landing, and the space was tight.As she stepped out, she noticed a man pounding on the door across the hall. He was clearly drunk. She pulled her coat tighter around herself and suddenly regretted not letting Joseph walk her up. Who would've thought she would run into a drunk in the middle of the night?She was a knockout. What if she became a target?"Open up… Open the door!" The man's voice was low and slurred.Lauren su

It started drizzling at some point, and it was almost midnight when Serena reached home with an umbrella. When she was at her door, she saw a black lump on the stairs. Initially, she thought it was garbage, but when the sensor light turned on, she saw that it was Justin.Frowning, she wondered why he was here again."Serena, I'm sorry for disrupting you, but I have a question to ask. After I get an answer, I'll leave." Justin stood up. Although he looked forlorn, he was calm and didn't go crazy right away like the previous times. "What do you want to ask?" Serena asked.Even though Justin wanted to control his emotions, tears welled up in his eyes the moment he opened his mouth. "It's my birthday today, and I opened the email you sent."Taken aback, Serena was confused for a while. After thinking for a few seconds, she realized what it was.Six months ago, she did schedule an email for Justin, and it was timed to be sent on his birthday today. Afterward, she forgot about it
Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 369
At 6:15 pm, Justin received an email in his private email. His irises shrank after he checked his inbox; it was Serena.After a short moment of stunned silence, he realized that Serena might have scheduled this email to be sent exactly at this time—because 6:01 pm was when he was born, not a minute earlier.With trembling hands, he opened the email.A video recorded by Serena greeted him, and she looked demure as she faced the camera."Justin, it's your 28th birthday today. Happy birthday. While you're watching this video, do you think that I recorded it today?"Actually, no. This was recorded six months before your birthday…"This was just as Justin expected, so he wasn't surprised at all.In the video, Serena chuckled shyly. When she laughed like that, she had a hint of innocence that could soften anyone's heart.Justin couldn't help but laugh along with her, and she continued, "It's 3:00 am now, and you're still abroad, but I'm missing you suddenly. I remember you said that

Outside, Damian fished out his car keys and climbed into his car. Casually, he tossed the cupcakes to the backseat and sped off in his Maserati. While driving, he turned on the surveillance camera app on his cellphone and scanned his studio and home. Everything was normal, but his instincts told him something was amiss.Today, Serena told him that Zoey's parents had personally apologized to her. Based on his understanding of the Bakers, they would have never visited Serena.There was only one possibility—they had met Wilson or his men and only came to apologize after being threatened by Wilson.Damian wondered whether Wilson suspected anything. There were no surveillance images on Zoey's cellphone, so maybe Wilson suspected something more to this.The situation would get sticky if Wilson's investigations led to him.He had to get back and take care of it as soon as possible. …The next day, Justin flew back from abroad and headed straight to his office.On the way, he receiv

When Damian walked into the patisserie, the young ladies in the store stole a look at him."Hi, Serena," he greeted."Hey, Damian. What brought you here?""I happen to pass by here, so I decided to drop in." Damian smiled softly, revealing his pearly whites. Next to Serena, Joanna stared at him, smitten. "Serena, what's up with you? All the guys you know are dashing! As they say, good-looking people only hang out with each other. People with ordinary looks like us are left to ourselves, dissing each other."Damian looked at her. "You're rather cute, too. Your eyes are big, like a deer's.""Really?" Joanna was so happy that her eyes were shimmering brightly.Receiving a compliment from a dashing man was enough to keep her happy for the entire day. Shy but excited, Joanna scurried into a corner.Serena turned to Damian. "Do you like desserts as well? Which flavor do you prefer? I can recommend something to you.""Strawberry flavor, I guess.

Serena remained in the same spot as she watched Gwen leaving from the back, a mix of emotions in her chest. Just then, a car honked suddenly behind her.Turning around, she saw Wilson's Cullinan parked at the side of the road, and the driver seat window rolled down. Wilson held a cigarette between his fingers as his arm was lazily propped against the side of the window. His profile in the night light was so stunning that he appeared unreal.Serena walked over to him slowly. "Why are you here?""I'm here to pick you up. What are you looking at? You look so engrossed.""Nothing. I was chatting with Gwen earlier." Slipping into his car, she asked, "She said that she's resigning soon. Is that true?""She did bring this up today, and she can leave once the handover is completed. That will take a little more than two weeks.""Have you found a new personal assistant?""No. Why don't you take over?""Nope. It's more carefree to be my own boss," Serena rejected flatly.Wilson chuckle
