Chapter 81

"Losing isn't okay, and winning isn't either. Tell me how you want to play then, Ms. Stone," Wilson said.Desiree laughed and said, "Never mind. I'll let you off the hook today."Wilson turned his head toward Serena and asked, "Aren't you drinking water?""I'm not thirsty," Serena replied.Wilson nodded and said no more.Desiree wanted to go horseback riding after their game of golf, and since the stables were nearby, the group headed there together.At the stables, Serena ran into an unexpectedly familiar face—Mollie.Dressed in equestrian attire, Mollie dismounted from her horse. She seemed to want to approach them but hesitated as she wasn't well acquainted with them.When Wilson and Desiree went horseback riding together at the riding arena, Mollie finally found an opportunity to approach Serena. She spoke with a hint of urgency, "What's going on? Why is Wilson hanging out with Desiree again?"Serena said, "This is Mr. Quade's private matter, so I wouldn't know."Molli

Wilson led the sleek black horse beside him and stepped closer to Serena.Serena's eyes lit up, and she looked eager to try. She had been to the stables before while accompanying Justin, but she had only ever watched him ride with his clients.Justin never offered to teach her to ride, and Serena had wisely kept quiet."I would need a trainer since I've never ridden before," Serena said. "I'm afraid it might take up some time.""Who needs an instructor? I'm better than any of them." Wilson chuckled, and he extended his hand to Serena as he spoke. "I'll help you onto the horse. We'll start with a slow lap."Serena was about to decline, but Wilson grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. He instructed, "Step up and get on."With his hand supporting her waist, Wilson was about to lift Serena onto the horse when a sharp scream interrupted them. Both of them turned around to see Desiree lying on the ground for reasons unknown a short distance away.Gary shouted in panic when he saw t

"You're lying!" Gary suddenly shouted, causing Mollie to jump. "I clearly saw the both of you arguing. Your horse acted strangely after that, and Desiree fell!"Mollie stammered, "I… I didn't—"Just as Gary was about to speak again, Serena interjected, "Mr. Stone, there are surveillance cameras at the stables. If Mollie did anything on purpose, it might have been caught on camera.""What if it's not caught on camera? It's so far away from where it happened," Gary said, visibly irritated. You're just a personal assistant. What right do you have to interrupt?"Wilson clicked his tongue and said, "Mr. Stone, I'm the one who spoiled my personal assistant. If you are going to be angry, please take it out on me."Desiree also spoke up. "Dad, why are you so harsh? Nothing's wrong between Mollie and me. We just had a few words, and maybe my tone wasn't too nice, but she had nothing to do with my fall. She was startled, too, when her horse whinnied. Please don't make this worse."Gary's e

Serena acted as though she had heard something amusing. She huffed in disbelief, "Justin, do you even know what you are saying?""Name your terms. As long as you come back, I will agree to whatever you want," Justin said seriously.Serena found the entire thing ridiculous and turned to leave, but Justin grabbed her wrist. She frowned and demanded, "Let go of me!""Is it because of Wilson?" Justin asked. "You can't bear to leave him?"Serena struggled and asked, "Why are you bringing him into this?""Serena, Wilson is the son-in-law Gary has his eyes on. He's deeply tied to the Stone family, and unless something unexpected happens, he will certainly marry Desiree," Justin said. "There will be no good outcome for you if you stay with him."Justin's gaze shifted slightly. "Come back with me. I'm the only one who can protect you." "I've shielded you before, and I will continue to do so in the future." Justin's tone softened into something more pleading, which was rare for him when

"What was that all about earlier, then?" Wilson asked."I was looking out for you, not because I can't let go of Justin." Serena's eyes widened with urgency as she explained, "There will be trouble if you end up seriously hurting him. It's not worth it for someone like Justin."Wilson leaned down slightly as he stepped closer to Serena, and she could only retreat until her back was pressed against the wall.Wilson was tall, and with one hand pressed against the wall, he almost trapped her in his embrace.The familiar, cool, woody scent lingered in the air between them, and all of Serena's nerves were on edge. She asked, "What are you doing, Mr. Quade?""Looking into your eyes to see if you are lying," Wilson replied."I'm not lying." Serena widened her eyes and stared straight into his. "Do you see my sincerity now?"Wilson was rendered speechless. Serena stood rigidly before him with her hands and legs pressed against the wall. She looked like a child being made to stand in det

"Justin, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?" Mollie widened her eyes in shock the moment Justin got into the car.Justin's expression darkened as he said, "Why don't you yell a little louder?"Mollie fell silent immediately, and then she asked tentatively, "Who hit you?"Justin didn't respond. Mollie thought for a moment and wondered if Wilson had done it. When she saw Justin's face grow darker, she knew her guess had been right.She asked, "Wait… Why did you get into a fight with Wilson?""Stop prying into my business," Justin huffed. "What actually happened between you and Desiree?" Mollie's face immediately dropped at his question. She said, "I honestly don't know. I exchanged a few sharp words with Desiree, and then my horse went wild. I wasn't even scared, but Desiree fell off hers. Is she really that delicate? Perhaps she did it on purpose to get Wilson's attention and pity."Justin said sternly, "It's best not to offend the Stone family. Dealing with Wils

"Justin, what happened to your face?" Jenna had been rambling on and on when she suddenly noticed the bruise at the corner of his mouth.Justin sipped his tea and said, "It's nothing. I just bumped into something."Jenna said, "You should be more careful. As for Candice, what are you planning to do about her? If you're tired of her, then let her go quickly. There's no way we will allow her into the family."Justin's tone was distant. He replied, "I'll take care of it."Jenna's eyes lit up with surprise. Not too long ago, Justin would get angry whenever she brought up the subject. She hadn't expected him to come around so quickly.Jessica, standing nearby, couldn't hide her smile as her eyes sparkled in anticipation.…As they left the Farrow residence, Justin sat in the back seat and handed Jessica a business card. Confusion clouded her features as Justin's next words hit her like a thunderbolt. "Charles Zeller owns a commercial street. I want it.""Mr. Farrow, how can I help

Jacob was amused. "What's going on in your mind? Are you looking to get hurt?""Yeah, my life is too comfortable, so I'm looking for a reason to suffer," Wilson replied.Jacob spread his hands. "I can't say she cared; it was love. She really loved Justin. She had always been following Justin around from the first day I met her. As she grew older, she took care of everything herself and treated Justin like he was her world."To be honest, in the beginning, I didn't think it was for real when Serena left Farrow Corporation. I thought she'd return after a few days, but now it looks like she's really cutting ties for good."Wilson's expression darkened with every word Jacob spoke, so Jacob got even more into it. "Even though Serena has broken things off with Justin, she definitely still has him in her heart. This kind of thing can't be rushed, Wilson. You'll have to give her time.""Well said." A cold smile appeared on Wilson's face, and his gaze shifted to the woman beside Jacob. "Th

A soft and gentle voice called out beside Wilson's ear. He slowly opened his eyes and covered them with his hand. "Quiet. I'm dizzy.""Mr. Quade, I'm sending you home," Serena said several things, but Wilson didn't respond. She decided to simply pull him up and drape him over her shoulder.The moment Wilson felt her soft and warm body against his, he immediately leaned all his weight onto her shoulder, and Serena staggered slightly under him.Wilson felt a pang of guilt and straightened up a bit. He mumbled, "Just hold onto me. I can walk on my own… It's better if you support me; it wouldn't be good if I fell."Serena propped him up, her arm around his lean waist. She slowly helped the "drunken" Wilson down the stairs.She called a cab and took him straight to his villa. When they reached the front door, Serena was confused. She didn't have the key."Mr. Quade, do you have your key?" Serena asked.Wilson kept his head down and remained silent. She assumed he was too drunk to b

Serena declined, "There's no need—""This is a villa district. You won't be able to hail a cab. There are plenty of guest rooms. Pick whichever one you like," Wilson interrupted.He tilted his head slightly, a lazy smile on his lips. "Or are you worried I might lose control and devour you?""That's not what I meant.""Then stay. It's just as well because you can make me breakfast in the morning."Without waiting for a reply, Wilson turned and headed upstairs.Serena hesitated for a moment before following him to the second floor. Then, she chose a random guest room and settled in.The bed was soft and inviting, and she soon drifted into a deep sleep.In the master bedroom, however, Wilson was far from asleep. He stood under the shower, the icy water cascading over his bare skin. Yet, no matter how cold it was, the heat surging within him couldn't be extinguished.His mind replayed the scene on the couch from earlier. He had pinned her beneath him, their faces inches apart.
