Chapter 401 Jethro's Kiss

My sole desire was once to reclaim my son, but with time, my hatred for the Willows intensified. Merely regaining custody wasn't enough to forget the torment of waking up crying for my son every day."Serena, you're my wife. Why are you joining forces with others to undermine my company?" Jethro's brows furrowed, suppressed anger flickering in his eyes as he confronted me.A cold laugh escaped me. I gazed at him scornfully. "Wife? Have you forgotten about our divorce? We're nothing but strangers now."I had anticipated Jethro’s fury at my unexpected presence. I thought that I’d be the last person he'd want to see. However, his reaction proved otherwise.At the mention of divorce, Jethro's face darkened. "So, you truly want us to be strangers, Serena? It's only been a year, yet you've changed so much." His face turned cold, his voice nearly a growl.Jethro’s anger was palpable, but I remained indifferent. Our connection was severed, and he had been merciless to me in the past, so w

Chapter 402 His Visit

"Okay, go home early and get some rest. We'll meet tomorrow." Nathan accepted my refusal gracefully, bidding me goodbye with gentle words."Bye. " I hung up the call, feeling an inexplicable agitation. Opting for a taxi, I headed to my apartment building.In the past, securing even a single apartment unit would've been a challenge, but a year of relentless work had transformed me. My income multiplied several times over.Exhaustion overcame me as I lay on the couch in the living room. I didn't want to move a muscle. Eventually, I roused myself to take a bath.Soaking in the bathtub, Jethro's excited gaze from earlier today lingered in my thoughts. I questioned the authenticity of his expression. Were those his genuine feelings, or was it remorse for what he did a year ago?‘Serena Hart, don't forget what the Willows did to you! Don't let emotions tie you down!’This reminder echoed in my head, a mantra I told myself whenever I felt weak. The thought of being separated from my son

Chapter 403 Reminding Myself of My Hatred Toward Him

"Did you really think I wouldn't find out where you're living?" Jethro's expression remained composed, his gaze piercing as he looked at me.I understood then just how formidable Jethro was. Finding someone's residence was a trivial task for him. It had been a year, and I'd forgotten just how far his reach extended."Is there a reason for your visit? We're off the clock now, so if this is work-related, it can wait until morning."Jethro’s unexpected arrival unsettled me, especially after our encounter at the office earlier in the day, which almost broke my composed facade."You seem reluctant to see me. After a year, don't you have anything to say to me?" Jethro's demeanor grew darker and more intense with each word of dismissal."There's nothing left to discuss. It's late, and I need my rest, " I asserted, moving to close the door. I was not in the mood to engage in a pointless conversation.But before I could shut it, his hand pressed against the doorframe, blocking my attempt.

Chapter 404 Bumping Into Summer

Desperate to end the conversation with Nathan, I coldly ushered him out. Once alone, I sprawled on the couch, restlessness consuming me. The day's exhaustion didn't bring sleep, leaving me wide awake and my thoughts swirling.As dawn broke, I was greeted by dark circles under my eyes, a testament to the sleepless night. Chuckling ruefully at my reflection, I hastily applied some makeup to mask my fatigue. Heading out for breakfast, I appreciated the convenience of the food street near my apartment filled with small breakfast joints. Not particularly fussy about food, I grabbed something quickly and was ready to go when a familiar voice stopped me in my tracks."Rina?"The voice held a blend of uncertainty and delight.Hearing Summer's voice after a year stirred an unexpected rush of excitement within me. I turned to see her, with Ignatz by her side, gazing earnestly at me."It's been ages, Summer!” I quipped.The sight of my best friend brought a smile to my face, and an emotiona

Chapter 405 No Future

"I abandoned my son? Why would you say that?" I looked at Summer with a composed expression, my voice steady as I posed this question."The Willows made your absence public. They claimed you had left. Rina, you're my best friend, and I know you better than that. You wouldn't do such a thing, right?" Summer looked at me anxiously, though her words were affirming her trust in me, I could hear the tension in her voice.The revelation sent a shiver down my spine. The extent of the Willows’ deceit hadn't occurred to me before, pinning the blame on me when Connor was the one who drove me away. Reflecting on my time with them, I realized their facade of warmth hid a much more sinister nature. I had been too trusting."Are you sure the Willows spread this information?" I asked, needing to confirm the source of her knowledge."Of course, I'm certain. It was from them that I learned of your disappearance. Why did you leave, Rina? There has to be a compelling reason behind your actions," Summ

Chapter 406 A Familiar Feeling

Half an hour later, Jethro arrived at my office. Despite being mentally prepared, my heart refused to stay calm.Clad in a sharp black suit, Jethro was the epitome of cold efficiency. He hadn't changed much since last year, except for a new, more severe aura. He sat opposite me, his icy gaze piercing."Would you like some tea or coffee, Mr. Jethro?" I asked, maintaining a faint smile as the air was thick with tension."No need. I'm here to make it clear that your hopes for a deal with Scarlet Ventures are futile. I'm well aware of the little maneuvers your company has been making behind the scenes," Jethro stated coldly, exuding the confidence and warning of a seasoned professional.His words caught me off guard. Our company had just begun aiming for a partnership with Scarlet Ventures and Titan Ads. His swift awareness surprised me, a reminder not to underestimate him. Still, I composed myself, knowing any sign of weakness was unfavorable."Mr. Jethro, business thrives on competi

Chapter 407 Meet Me at Ten Tonight

"Listen to me, Serena. As long as I'm alive, you're my woman. I won't allow any man to touch you!" Jethro's gaze penetrated mine, his voice sinister and domineering, the kind that seemed to swallow everything in its wake.The audacity of his claim sparked anger within me. He had abandoned me a year ago, and now he presumed he had the right to say such things? What gave him the right to speak to me this way? I had nothing to do with him anymore!"Remember, Jethro, it was you who walked away? Don't you find it laughable to come to me now with these words? Did you say any of this when you abandoned me?" I scoffed at him coldly.Every word he uttered was absurd to me. I didn't know what he was thinking, but I was clear about my own feelings, and I wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth."I walked away? It was you who left without a word! What made you this way, Serena?!" Jethro's response was tinged with sarcasm and disbelief, his body tense with emotion. He shook my shoulders, his w

Chapter 408 I Dislike Being Tested

Nathan's voice was gentle, yet he was keenly observant of my behavior.Remembering my recent thoughts of Jethro and our shared history, a wave of discomfort washed over me. I lowered my gaze to avoid Nathan's scrutinizing look, at a loss for words."Did you need something?" I managed to ask, lifting my head slightly, attempting to mask my inner turmoil with a semblance of composure."Nothing specific. I just wanted to check in on you and see how you're doing. What did Jethro want? You seem a bit unsettled. Did he say something to upset you?" Nathan's inquiry was thorough, his gaze searching for any hint of distress in my expression.I disliked being constantly analyzed and felt as if I was in someone's control. The relationship between Nathan and me was supposed to be collaborative, not controlling. My thoughts and concerns were my own, and I didn't appreciate his interference."It was nothing serious. He just came to warn about our covert moves to partner with Scarlet Ventures, w

Chapter 409 Meeting the Child

A year might not be exceptionally long or short, but Verdantia hasn't changed one bit since I left, unlike myself, who had undergone so much.As I reached the complex's entrance, the security guard expressed surprise. "Ms. Serena! It's been a long time since you've been here." He recognized me immediately, still remembering the occasional conversations we'd had during my time here."Yes, I no longer live here, but I'm here for a visit today. May I go through?" I requested from behind the wheel, looking up at the familiar face guarding the entrance.The guards, familiar with me from my previous residency, granted me access without any hassle. Approaching the home I once shared with Jethro, my heart raced with a mix of dread and anticipation. It took every ounce of my courage to finally press the doorbell, my thoughts entirely consumed by the prospect of seeing my son after so long.Soon, Jethro answered the door. I glanced at him briefly, not harboring the hostility I had during our

Chapter 410 Stay Tonight

Sensing my softened demeanor, Jethro's look of surprise evolved into a warm smile. As the evening wore on, Seren eventually fell asleep in my arms, with Jethro staying quietly by our side. Had it not been for the incident a year ago, this would have been such a warm scene. A blissful family of three—the very life I had once longed for."Put him down," Jethro suggested softly, noticing my hesitance to part with the sleeping child. Despite my reluctance, I gently laid Seren down in his crib. I stood and watched his peaceful slumber, wishing I could stay by his side forever. After glancing once more at Seren, I averted my gaze. We were currently standing in the bedroom Jethro and I had once shared, full of memories of love and laughter. I looked briefly at the bed we had shared before turning away.Deep down, I wanted to stay with Seren, but with Jethro present, it seemed inappropriate given the change in our relationship. "It's getting late, I should go. But I hope I can see Seren of
