Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 319
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

Justin sat in his car for a while before unlocking his phone.There were several messages and over a dozen missed calls. A few were from Damian, while the rest, aside from a couple of work-related ones, were all from Jenna.He quickly replied to Damian and was about to set his phone aside when Jenna called again.Pressing his fingers to his temple, he answered. "What now?""Justin, I need to ask you something important," Jenna said seriously."If it's about Candice again, save it," Justin said."When exactly did you and Candice sleep together?" Jenna asked.His expression shifted. "What are you getting at?" After a brief pause, he gave her the time frame.Jenna then asked if Candice had been with anyone else during that period.Justin immediately understood. "Are you saying the baby might not be mine?""I was just asking. Nothing more." Jenna tried to brush it off."I don't care if it is or isn't. I told you from the beginning I wanted nothing to do with this, but you insist

As Wilson walked over, he casually wrapped an arm around her waist. "Why didn't you come in?""I was just chatting with Elena…" Serena said shyly."Are you done?" Wilson asked casually."Pretty much," Serena said.Elena's eyes widened in shock, but Wilson acted as if he didn't notice. He held Serena close and led her into the office.Behind them, Elena's expression shifted from disbelief to calm understanding. Honestly, it wasn't all that surprising. The way Wilson had treated her from the start had been unusual.The moment they stepped inside, Wilson pressed Serena against the door and kissed her. It was as if he could never get enough, his arm tightening around her waist as he kissed her breathless. It wasn't until the sound of a ringing phone interrupted them that she managed to push him away. "Your phone…""Ignore it." Wilson's voice was low and husky as he leaned in for another kiss.She pushed him away. "No, work comes first."With no other choice, Wilson picked up the

Serena quickly pulled her hand out from under his shirt, her ears turning slightly red.Wilson calmly adjusted his shirt, not in a hurry at all. "Ever heard of knocking?" His tone wasn't harsh, but there was an unmistakable chill to it."Sorry, I'll come back later." Gwen immediately shut the door and left.A moment later, a cautious knock sounded. After getting permission, she stepped inside. "Mr. Quade, Serena… we meet again.""Hello." Serena gave her a soft smile. Gwen finally turned her attention to Wilson. "Mr. Quade, Captain Ziegler wants to invite you to lunch. Do you have time at noon?"Wilson was about to refuse, but Serena spoke first. "He does." She looked at him. "It's probably about everything that happened. He must have something important to say. You should go.""Okay…" His girlfriend had spoken. What else could he do but listen?Wilson originally wanted to drive Serena home, but she had plans to stop by the patisserie. Since Gwen was heading in the same direc
Too Late for Forgiveness Chapter 326
"Why?" The moment the question left her lips, Serena realized it was unnecessary. Wilson was with her now, which meant she would be seeing him often. Who could put up with watching the man you had feelings for being affectionate with someone else?Serena rubbed her nose awkwardly. "You're good at what you do. Why don't you let Mr. Quade recommend you for another position?""That could work." Gwen smiled faintly. "If I can't have love, I might as well focus on my career."A few days later, Serena's patisserie opened with a bang. The place was packed. Not only did Willow and Lauren send flower arrangements, but even Mollie, Jacob, and the Collinsworth brothers also sent gifts. Though Jillian didn't show up, she did send something. Several wealthy socialites who had mingled with her before also arrived with flowers to show their support.Wilson was abroad on a business trip and couldn't make it back in time, but his gifts arrived right on schedule. Along with fruit baskets and flo

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. Actually, I'm here today to apologiz

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
