Chapter 314

Penulis: Arlo Drake
Serena gathered herself and returned to her dessert store, where she found Willow, Lauren, and Joseph inside. Even Violet and Isaac were there.

"Aren't you going to rest longer, Serena?" Willow asked.

"I've rested enough, and I feel fine now. The store will open soon, and I have to oversee everything."

Serena checked the equipment in the store and brought Isaac to visit the kitchen.

Isaac mentioned that he had guided a few pastry chefs before, and their skills were amazing. To this, Serena expressed that she'd welcome them onboard.

She already worked things out with store employees and suppliers, and the process was finalized as well. Everything was going smoothly.

A smile spread across Serena's face. "It's been hard on everyone recently. Today's lunch is on me."

"I won't refuse since Ms. Judd has offered. I want to have seafood for lunch!" Lauren said.

Joseph was equally excited. "I'd like to have lobster!"

Lauren rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking for too much!"

    "We're going out for lunch. Would you like to join us?" Serena invited."Sure," Mollie accepted the invitation.However, her cellphone suddenly started ringing when she was about to leave with Serena. Upon seeing the word "Mom" flashing on the screen, she felt her head throbbing painfully.She picked up the call, and Jenna complained angrily, "Candice is hospitalized again!""Let her be. What has that got to do with me?""Yes, she's not related to you, but the baby in her womb is. Candice is in the same hospital as you. "Maisie said that she's emotionally unstable and yelling at everyone now. Hurry over to her ward and calm her down."Mollie merely felt exhausted at the idea. "I'm… not free now.""What's keeping you busy? Your ward is so close to hers. Go over and check what her problem is."Mollie looked helpless and unwilling, but she couldn't tell Jenna that she had sneaked out of the hospital. Hence, she agreed, "Okay. I must have owed her, and this is karma getting b

    The door at the side swung open with a bang, and Candice retracted her hands in shock.Before she realized what was happening, someone grabbed her hair and slapped her tightly in the face.Dressed in a leather coat, Jenna glared at her furiously.Candice held her face. "What are you doing?""I should be the one asking you that. You keep stirring up trouble. Is the hospital your home? "Why do you keep checking in here every other day? It gets meaningless when you keep pulling the same game."Jenna folded her arms across her chest. "Get back in there right now!"Candice's eyes reddened, and she stormed back to her ward angrily.Fuming mad, Jenna swept her gaze over Mollie at the side. "Why are you dressed like that?""I went out to buy food earlier."Jenna didn't chide her and left after Candice.The doctor stood at the head of the bed with the checkup report in their hand. "The patient hasn't reached her first trimester yet. If she keeps getting provoked, it will affect the

    After making a reservation at a seafood restaurant, Serena led a group of people to the private dining room. They had just taken their seats when Serena's phone beeped. It was a text from Wilson, asking, "Where are you?"Serena got up and called him. "I brought everyone out for lunch.""Are you in a seafood restaurant?""How do you know that?""Look behind."Out of reflex, Serena turned around and immediately caught sight of Wilson in a suit standing nearby. His hand was stuck in his pants pocket, and he was still holding his phone to his ear. He greeted her, "Hey, girlfriend."Serena paced to him. "What are you doing here?""I just happen to be here." Wilson walked up to her, hugged her by the waist, and kissed her hair.Seeing the eyes on them, Serena nudged him in embarrassment. "People are watching.""Let them watch. They must be thinking that I'm so lucky to have such a gorgeous woman as my girlfriend.""Can't you be serious for just a day?" Despite what she said

    Bewildered, Joseph remained in his seat, not moving a muscle. Lauren gave him a kick. "Get going. Can't you run an errand?"Joseph was stunned because this wasn't his task!He hesitated for a short moment. In the end, he picked up the card and went to the counter. After paying, he was suddenly overwhelmed by guilt for betraying Justin completely.When they hung out in the past, he was always running errands for Justin. But now, he was doing the same for Justin's nemesis. This world was such a mess.Everyone hung around a little longer after the bill was settled. Then, they started to leave. Outside the restaurant, Violet and Isaac left first.Willow and Lauren tacitly took Joseph's card. They claimed that they'd like to visit his new company, leaving Wilson and Serena alone so they'd have time for themselves.Wilson opened the passenger seat door for Serena. After she slipped in, he was about to climb into the driver seat when someone called out to him."Wilson!" Donning a w

    Wilson hit the gas pedal. "So, you don't mind her at all? I'm a cheap boyfriend who doesn't have any weight in your eyes.""I'm thinking about something else," Serena said slowly."Previously, you mentioned that you owe the Stone family. But you rejected Desiree's feelings and chose to be with me. Wouldn't this place you in a difficult position?""What are you thinking? I feel lucky to be with you.""The Stones will be mad, won't they? Isn't this going to affect your company?"Wilson chuckled. "They're not so powerful that they are able to affect Quade Group so easily."Serena, if you're so worried about my career, why don't you return and be my assistant again?"Serena tilted her head. "Let's see. I want to open a dessert store.""Okay, you call the shots." Wilson drove and sent her back to her apartment building, where he saw that someone was already waiting for her downstairs.Dressed in a fur coat, Jenna angrily marched over to Serena when she saw her getting out of the

    Jenna widened her eyes. "What do you mean?""I mean it literally. Mrs. Farrow, the baby in Candice's womb may not be a Farrow. You should keep an eye out for yourself," Serena said."Shut up! Y-You're simply evil. Until now, you're still trying to sow discord. Don't think that I'll be taken in by you."Serena already knew that this would happen. Therefore, she never bothered to say anything before. Firstly, she didn't want to tip them off, or Candice might come up with some underhanded move.Secondly, Jenna wouldn't believe her and would make things difficult for her instead."If you don't believe me, just take it that I've never said anything." Turning to Wilson, Serena said, "I'm tired. Walk me upstairs.""Sure."Both of them walked into the building, leaving Jenna to stare at their backs with a ball of frustration in her chest.Serena's words kept replaying in her head. Even though she didn't want to believe them, she couldn't stop the doubt from sprouting in her chest.U

    Wilson's fingers rested on her waist as he lowered his head slightly, their noses brushing against each other. His deep, alluring eyes were so close, carrying a hint of something dangerous. "With me here, there's nothing to be afraid of."Serena's heart pounded hard. Inside the apartment, the air suddenly felt warmer.She wanted to say something sweet in return, but when she opened her mouth, the words came out differently. "That… kind of sounds like something a gangster would say.""You already know this. I've never been a good guy." He tightened his hold on her, his breath warm against her ear.Serena stiffened. Instinctively, she recalled that terrifying night, the way Wilson had looked back then. However, the memory was strangely hazy. Instead, all she could picture was him diving into the deep waters, throwing everything aside just to save her.His soft kisses traced along her ear, then up to her cheek, skimming past the tip of her nose, and finally arriving at her lips. His

    Lauren rubbed her nose. "Uh, so, you guys are… done?"Wilson smirked. "We never even started."Lauren glanced away, looking a little guilty. So… was he blaming her for interrupting?Wilson draped his jacket over his arm and gave Serena a look. "I'm heading back to the office.""Alright," Serena replied. The moment he left, Lauren rushed forward, grabbing Serena with an excited gleam in her eyes.Serena's eyes widened in shock. "Laurie, what are you doing?""Be honest. How was Wilson's kissing skill?" Lauren asked."Stop being crazy…" Serena shoved her away, her face turning slightly uncomfortable."Oh, come on. Spill! It's way better than that Scumstin, right?" Lauren asked again."Can we not bring up mood-killing topics?" Just thinking about Justin made her skin crawl."Forget it. Judging by your love-struck expression, I already know Wilson's skills must be top-notch," Lauren teased.Serena sipped her water without a word. Lauren thought she got it right. He was good, re

    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

    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
