Chapter 231 Mason’s Such a Rogue

Mason was undoubtedly curious about the man in my heart. He always had a strong sense of curiosity, but I couldn't possibly reveal to him that it was his cousin. That would be too much for Mason to handle."The identity of the man is irrelevant. He's merely a passerby in my life. No matter how much I like him now, we can never be together," I said, feeling a deep sense of emptiness.Maybe with time, my feelings for Jethro would fade, and the pain would lessen."Why not consider me instead? I really like you and I believe I can make you happy," Mason proposed earnestly.Everyone was selfish to some extent, and though Mason felt sorry for me, deep down, he hoped I wouldn't end up with that other man."You're talking nonsense again. Haven't I told you many times already? You're like a brother to me. We can't be together." I sighed, frustrated by his attempt to turn the conversation toward himself."I've told you, I don't want to be your brother. A boyfriend or future husband, maybe,

Chapter 232 I Miss You So Much

After a night of excessive drinking, Mason and I found ourselves too tipsy to drive. Thoughtfully, he hailed me a cab. I returned to Verdantia, which I had come to think of as home despite it not truly being mine.In the bedroom, I collapsed on the bed still dressed, relishing the numbness that the alcohol brought. It was a welcome respite from my burdens.As I drifted in and out of consciousness, I felt a gentle caress on my face. It was tender and familiar, reminiscent of Jethro. I initially believed I was dreaming, but the touch felt incredibly real. Struggling to open my eyes, I saw Jethro’s figure through my blurred vision.A smile crept onto my face as I convinced myself it was just a dream. After all, Jethro and I had ended things, and he couldn't possibly be here. My longing for him must’ve conjured this dream.Despite the urge to surrender to sleep, I resisted, unwilling to let go of this beautiful illusion. "Jethro, I miss you so much…" I whispered, gazing at the blurry

Chapter 233 Dreams and Reality Blur Together

Shaking my head vigorously, I felt embarrassed and frustrated at my thoughts and actions. After showering, I felt somewhat relieved, but still unsure whether last night's events were real or just a dream.I ate breakfast in a hurry and dashed to the company. Preset alarms were a saving grace, preventing a late arrival at the office after my intoxicated night. With my relationship with Jethro now severed, I dreaded his reaction to any tardiness. His stern personality hinted he might consider terminating me.Arriving at the company building, I stopped dead in my tracks upon seeing Jethro by the elevator. My intention to take the elevator vanished, and I found myself immobilized, my heartbeat accelerating at his presence. I couldn't bring myself to meet his gaze.Jethro's eyes fell on me, his brows knitting together in a subtle frown, his expression indifferent. An unprecedented, awkward silence hung between us.Rooted outside the elevator, I was at a loss, unsure how to act around Je

Chapter 234 He Didn’t Like Her but Didn’t Reject Her Either

"The past? That’s easy for you to say. We were so close to getting 250,000 dollars. And now, it's gone all because of you. How can you expect us to just let this go?"My words only fueled Mom’s anger. She held me responsible for the lost money as if it were my duty to secure it for her. Her image in my heart had turned utterly unreasonable. No matter what I said, she wouldn’t listen."Mom, my relationship with Jethro is my own business. I was never under any obligation to secure that 250,000 dollars for you. You have no right to dictate my decisions. I’m an adult with the right to make my own choices."Had it been the past, I might’ve tried to appease her, but my current emotional state was too fragile. I couldn’t bear to say things against my will."So you're saying you won’t listen to me anymore? Don't you have any sense of gratitude after all I've done to raise you? You’re nothing but an ungrateful freeloader! My biggest regret is ever raising you!" Mom’s anger reached a boiling

Chapter 235 Jethro Is Getting Engaged

Summer didn’t share my perspective. To her, life's choices were straightforward. If you like someone, be with them. If you don’t like them, don’t be with them. If I could be as brave as her, maybe things with Jethro would be different."Enough about me and Jethro. Let’s talk about you instead. How are things going with Ignatz? Are you two officially an item now?" I steered the conversation away, my mood slightly subdued.Summer’s expression shifted at the mention of Ignatz, her eyes showing hesitation."Come on, we’re best friends. There shouldn't be any secrets between us, right?” I nudged her, a bit irritated but mostly just showing concern for her love life."I’m not sure about my feelings for Ignatz. I like him, but I'm not entirely sure if it's in a romantic sense." Summer’s previous heartbreak with Claude had made her cautious, understandably so. Despite her composed exterior, that experience had deeply affected her."If you don’t dislike him, why not give it a shot? You can

Chapter 236 You’ll Always Have Me by Your Side

"Why the cold response, Rina? Earth to Rina?" Mason's voice, tinged with confusion and displeasure, reached me again as he saw my indifferent reaction.A deep frown settled on my face, reflecting my mounting irritation. I wasn't in the mood for his banter and just wanted some solitude."What's wrong with you today? Why are you ignoring me? Have I upset you somehow?" Mason's concern was evident as he leaned out of his car window, his expression one of genuine worry.Not even bothered to look at him, I said in a detached tone, "It's not you. I just need some time alone. Please, don’t follow me." I hastened my stepsUncharacteristically, Mason respected my request and refrained from following me. This small mercy brought me a bit of comfort.Seeking refuge, I found myself in a tranquil grassy area beside the Trenton River. Spacious and quiet, it was the perfect spot for solitude. Here, I could immerse myself in my thoughts, isolated from the rest of the world.The news of Jethro's i

Chapter 237 An Illusion Appears

By the time I regained my senses, Mason had already walked some distance away. He had the audacity to steal a kiss from me. It seems his boldness was on the rise. Perhaps I had been too accommodating with him lately, despite being displeased, my reaction wasn't as strong as I might’ve expected.Mason soon returned with a pack of beer and sat next to me again. He opened a bottle and offered it to me. I didn’t take it but instead fixed my gaze on him.I questioned in a dissatisfied tone, "What was that about just now?"Mason seemed surprised by my question but quickly slipped back into his playful mode. "I was kissing you, of course. Didn’t you notice?"His smug expression irritated me further. I felt the urge to slap some sense into him for his brashness. His brazen acknowledgment only fueled my annoyance."Have you forgotten what I told you before, Mason? How could you just steal a kiss like that? Are you asking for a beating?""I've had feelings for you for so long, so a stolen

Chapter 238 Mysteriously Ending Up at Home

I frowned, feeling a little annoyed. When had Mason become so cold?I intended to protest, but feeling dizzy and disoriented, I couldn't muster the energy to speak. I closed my eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.Waking up the next morning, the bright sunlight felt jarring. It took me a moment to adapt to the light. As I got out of bed, I realized I was in my room. How had this happened? Hadn’t I been out drinking with Mason by Trenton River last night? How had I ended up at home? Was it Mason who had brought me back?But then, there was the memory of seeing Jethro last night. Could it have been him?My mind raced with possibilities, but I immediately dismissed Jethro's involvement. He was likely preoccupied with his engagement. How would he have time to bring me home? Besides, he had no idea I was drinking with Mason by the riverside, so it couldn't have been him.That left only one possibility. Mason must’ve sobered up and brought me home. I was surprised by his ability to rec

Chapter 239 I’m Pregnant…

Jethro observed me silently, his face betraying no emotion as I vented. His brow creased, and his penetrating gaze lingered on me for a long time.I met his eyes unflinchingly. What he thought of me—whether he believed I was after his money or genuinely wanted to be with him—didn’t matter to me anymore. I just wanted to release my pent-up feelings. How dare he speak to me in this way?"What do you mean by saying this now, Serena? Are you suggesting you want to renew our relationship?" Jethro’s gaze was dark and unreadable, and his words left me unsure whether he was angry or pleased.He had warned me countless times that our relationship was nothing more than physical, urging me not to harbor any illusions or feelings for him. My confession had clearly indicated my feelings for him.My heart raced, and I was uncertain of how to respond to his question. Deep down, I knew I had fallen for him, and denying it would be lying to myself.I opened my mouth to answer but said nothing as a
