Chapter 326

Serve Your Boss

Ken handed the bowl of oatmeal to Seraphina and quickly found an excuse to leave the room.

Orion glanced at the oatmeal. Then, with a slight tremble, he extended his hand, still attached to an IV.

Seraphina furrowed her brow, Orion's expression remained calm, but there was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. She looked at him, feeling a twinge of vulnerability and helplessness in a man who was usually so cold and indifferent. Her heart softened; he was a patient after all.

She couldn't be too heartless.

She handed the bowl of oatmeal to him. There was a spoon already inside, which allowed him to feed

himself.

That was as much patience as she could muster.

Orion looked at her quietly. He raised his other hand, which revealed clear puncture marks.

This hand, too, was trembling.

"This hand has no strength left."

Today had been rough on him.

Seraphina fell silent slightly before slowly retracting the bowl

Orion thought she might use the other hand to feed him, but he suddenly heard her call out.

"Ken-"

The air froze for a few seconds, silence stretching through the room.

Orion's expression stiffened.

His heart thumped a little as he suddenly realized what she was about to do.

No, absolutely not!

I'd rather starve!

Next, Ken appeared at the door.

"Ms. Cross, do you need something?" Ken asked, having been standing outside to ensure no one disturbed. Seraphina and Orion's time together. Seraphina handed him the bowl of oatmeal and said, "Come over here and feed Mr. Dros."

She made it sound so natural.

Serve Your Boss

Ken's expression frozen. He had carefully created this opportunity for the two of them, but she wanted. him to do this. Was this even appropriate? Especially when he caught the warning glare from Orion, Ken grew even more afraid.

He was concerned that if he took that bowl from Seraphina, the next day someone might find his body covered in concrete at the bottom of the Thyness River "What's the matter? Are you unwilling to serve your boss?" Seraphina asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

Before the nervous and sweating Ken could reply, Orion snatched the oatmeal from Seraphina. Without hesitation, he gulped it down in one go.

His narrow eyes, sharp with a flicker of anger, seemed mad.

""Get out!"

That was directed at Ken.

Ken felt as though he had just brushed off death.

He hurriedly bolted out of the room, determined to get as far away as possible. Ken wouldn't give Seraphina the chance to call him back again. Now, only the two of them remained in the room.

The atmosphere was cold.

Seraphina chuckled softly and said, "Now that you've finished eating, I'll take the empty bowl out. Get

some rest.

She gracefully stood up and was ready to leave.

She didn't notice the way Orion's sharp eyes flickered with a fleeting hint of hurt before that mist of vulnerability faded away.

Everything felt so close, yet he couldn't grasp any of it.

*Seraphina."

His voice came out hoarse, weak.

She halted and cocked her head to look at him.

"What?"

"Why did you post that photo on Instagram?"

Orion's lips pressed into a thin line. His gaze was dark and unreadable, as though shadows of unresolved emotions swirled in his eyes.

There was something he anticipated, but he was frightened of something.

He hadn't asked before not because he didn't care hut because he feared what the answer might he

MON, NOV

Serve Your Boss

Seraphina smiled faintly, brushing her hair back as her smile deepened.

"Because he's my new boyfriend."

If one lie could make Orion give up and reconcile with her, Seraphina was willing to use this excuse to push him away.

In that moment, Orion's face paled even further. The hurt in his eyes was undisguised; he was incredibly

upset.

It felt like a bolder had lodged in his chest and suffocated him.

The corners of his eyes had turned red as he struggled to suppress the overwhelming sadness and grief in

his heart.

His fists c

clenched tightly. Ultimately, they loosened powerlessly.

He had no idea where to begin or where to go next.

Seraphina was free. It was he who had let her go. He was now experiencing the bitterness of that decision, feeling every drop as hopeless as before. The room fell silent.

Seraphina glanced at him and spoke indifferently, I've had many boyfriends. Haven't you known that for a while, Mr. Dros?"

It was time for them to start their new

Chapter 327Ken's Worriedly Endlessly For His Boss

The atmosphere between the two was subtle and hard to describe.

Wilson was the first to speak, his voice calm and gentle

"I had planned to bid farewell to Mr. Orion earlier, but since someone is inside, I decided to wait a bit."

Seraphina tried to act as if nothing had happened, but it was too difficult.

She bit her lip and gave an awkward smile.

"I'm deeply sorry for the trouble. I've already deleted the photo. Just now, I was just....

She was merely finding an excuse.

Wilson said, "It's fine. I'm pleased to help."

His tone was light, yet there was a warmth that set it apart from indifference.

"Whar

Seraphina couldn't help but feel rather surprised. Did she hear that right?

William met her gaze; his smile was honest and dignified. There was an air of mystery and humility about him, a combination that carried an almost irresistible allure.

"If this can help you get rid of someone else's nuisance, I'm more than willing to assist. After all, you are Dani's Ms. Lovely."

The implication was that since Seraphina had saved Dani's life, Wilson wouldn't mind helping her.

Seraphina froze for a moment and then let out a breath of relief, the doubt in her heart dissipating. So,

that was what it was.

It turned out that Wilson had seen right through her intentions.

Seraphina's expression became relaxed. She said with a smile, "Thank you for not blaming me."

"Why would I? If you need, I can always play along with you?

Wilson's serious demeanor suggested he wasn't joking.

Seraphina lowered her eyes and said, "No, I can't let my selfishness drag others into this mess."

Besides, she was fully aware that a simple photo wouldn't fool Orion

Earlier, he had just been momentarily thrown off by her words.

She withdrew her gaze and said with a smile, "Goodnight, Mr. Rockwell."

"Goodnight."

She returned to her room.

Ken's Worriedly Endlessly For His Boss

Seraphina took a shower and changed into something comfortable when Emeris called her over to have video chat with the family.

Sivir had some work-related matters to discuss with her. As they talked back and forth, his furrowed brows didn't ease. Then, Justin suddenly jumped in and shouted to get their attention. "Are you seriously going to be a pair with Wilson?"

Seraphina thought that the biggest gossip source in their family was definitely Justin.

"No!"

She struggled to find the right words.

Justin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good. Men are just for fun; don't take them too seriously. Once you do, it's all downhill from there."

Seraphina had no words.

Sivir echoed, "Justin has a point."

For once, he agreed with Justin

They truly pitied Seraphina for how cautious and humble she had been in love.

In their eyes, no one was worthy of their sister-not even born, perhaps!

Emeris was sitting nearby. He speechlessly ended a call with a chuckle. He coughed and cleared his throat

'Don't pay them any mind, Seraphina. You can be with whoever you want, whether they're rich or poor. I don't care. Our family isn't exactly struggling, right?"

Seraphina blinked, unable to hold back her laughter.

"True, you're right. But I still think making money is more important. After all, once you've got money, you can have any number of men, right?"

Emeris nodded solemnly.

"Exactly! Now you're thinking right!"

With a smile, Seraphina left and went to bed.

The next day.

Orion had made meticulous arrangements. Wilson would leave in the afternoon, but they still traveled. together in the morning.

When they arrived at Vrore, Seraphina could feel the gentle atmosphere in the air. Everything felt romantic, warm, and shimmering. It was difficult not to fall in love with this place.

As they walked down the road, there were no cars in sight. It felt as if they could reach out and relieve some scenes of the 19th century. Time seemed to stand still here.

07.14 MON, NOV

Ken's Worriedly Endlessly For His Boss

Before long, Emeris and Wilson were walking side by side, deep in conversation.

Little Dani clung to Seraphina's hand. He was overjoyed and refused to let go.

His romantic journey with Seraphina was something he would cherish forever.

Orion was frail. He sat in a wheelchair, being pushed around by Ken.

His eyes lingered on Seraphina holding Dani's hand. The sight stung, but he forced a warm, affectionate smile.

Inside, however, he thought to himself how much Wilson's son was just as annoying as Wilson himself.

Ken noticed Orion's lack of alone time with Seraphina. He sped up his pace slightly and conveniently bought a fluffy, colorful cotton candy from a nearby vendor. It looked as soft as a cloud. He handed it to Orion.

Orion frowned at him with a cold expression.

"I don't eat that."

He spoke through gritted teeth.

Ken paused. He forced an awkward and

Chapter 328

The Little Brat

Orion responded with a soft hum as he took it in. Ken sharply sensed the mood; he dared not laugh at his boss. Instead, he quickly waved toward Seraphina. "Ms. Cross"

Seraphina turned around.

Ken pushed Orion over to her.

Seraphina looked at Orion as he held up a cotton candy in his hand. His gaze was soft and watery.

"Hmm, do you like it?" he asked.

Seraphina's expression was complicated as she stared at the cotton candy. Was Orion really giving her cotton candy?

This wasn't like him at all.

Before she could react, Little Dani excitedly rushed over

I love it! I love it!"

Everyone froze in surprise as Dani grabbed the cotton candy and took a fierce bite.

"Oh no! It's so sweet that it knocked out my baby tooth"

Little Dani cutely covered his face and threw himself into Seraphina's arms in grievances.

"Miss Lovely, my tooth hurts," he whimpered.

Orion's expression turned dark, but he forced himself to speak softly, pretending to be kind and gentle.

"Haha, you need to be careful next time."

He had no choice.

Right now, he was at a disadvantage..

He couldn't offend anyone around Seraphina,

Seraphina caressed the fluffy curls in Little Dani's hair. Seraphina was fully aware that Dani was acting, but

she chose not to reveal it.

"Well, then stop eating it," she said.

Dani nodded.

"Only kids eat candy. Mr. Wicked is so stingy. Ms. Lovely, I will create a cotton candy for you in gold so that you can admire it on a daily basis. Unlike Orion, Dani wasn't one to be so tight-fisted.

The Little Brat

"No, don't! I don't like it."

Not everyone has the financial means to raise such a wealthy young heir,

As she headed toward her bag to get him some water, Orion watched Dani's little face with a smile, his tone warm as he deliberately teased him. "You like Seraphina, don't you?"

""Yeah, so what?"

Little Dani crossed his armsand looked like a little grown-up.

"Well, congratulations. Your daddy and Seraphina are together now. That means you'll be her son."

Little Dani's features instantly scrunched up, his tiny face filled with shock and anger.

The boy exclaimed, "What?!"

His fists clenched tightly together, trembling with emotion.

Orion raised a brow and asked, "You didn't know? Your daddy's been pursuing her."

Before he could finish, Wilson approached from the side, holding another cotton candy. It looked exactly the same.

Seraphina was stunned. Why did the cotton candy seem to be the theme of the day?

Wilson walked up and cast a glance at his son, then he smiled gently at Seraphina.

"I noticed Mr. Dros's cotton candy got ruined by Dani. Sorry about that. This one is meant to make up for

1. it.

He handed the cotton candy to Seraphina

Orion's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't react strongly.

It was Dani, however, who angrily snatched the cotton candy from Wilson's hand,

He glared fiercely at his father, his face flushed with anger and suspicion.

"Daddy, Ms. Lovely doesn't like cotton candy! Hmph!"

Even though he was a child, Dani was a smart one.

He began to suspect Orion's words were true.

Was his daddy genuinely trying to woo Seraphina?

No way!

Ms. Lovely was his. Not even his dad could take her away!

The Little Brat

"You eat it."

He'd rather give it to Orion than let his dad have it.

Ultimately, he was aware that Seraphina harbored a dislike for Orion.

He wasn't even a real threat.

Wilson's expression remained calm, his smile steady. However, when he looked at his son, there was a hint of shock and confusion in his eyes. Dani thought dealing with alousy opponent like Orion was one thing. Once he inherited the family fortune, he could openly be with Seraphina. But why was his dad getting involved?

Didn't his dad know that Seraphina belonged to him?

Hmph!

No one was going to take Ms. Lovely away from me, not even my dad!

Orion's face softened when he observed the little boy's reaction. His expression lit i warm smile. Suddenly, he found Little Dani more pleasant to look at

"Mr. Rockwell, don't be upset. This is typical of your son, just like you."

Wilson was speechless.

with a gentle and

Before Wilson could express his anger, Little Dani furiously grabbed Seraphina's hand and fled.

Seraphina had no choice but to follow them. They stopped in a quiet spot, and Dani finally stopped as he panted from the run,

"Ms. Lovely," Dani began, his bright, clear eyes twinkling with innocence. "Ms. Lovely, which of the three men treats you the best?" His bright blue eyes seemed like the purest place in the world..

Seraphina blinked in surprise. Three men?

Him, Orion, and Wilson!

Ment

Seraphina couldn't quite understand the thoughts of a child, but humoring him seemed harmless.

"Of course, it's you!" She said it with a smile.

Little Dani beamed and patted his chest with pride.

"Of course! I'm the best. The other two are ugly and stingy. They're way too old! They can't even compare to me!"

Seraphina nodded in agreement.

"Exactly!"

Dani felt a little shy. He stepped forward and gently took her beautiful hand in his.

"Then when I grow up, we'll be together forever, okay?

Seraphina couldn't help but chuckle. Little Dani was just so adorable.

She pinched his soft cheeks and said, "Alright, I'll wait for you to grow up."

Little Dani was overjoyed. He hugged her tightly, rubbing his cheek against her hand in pure delight.

Seraphina brought Little Dani back to the group. Everyone carried on with their activities as if nothing had happened. Emeris seemed to be enjoying every part of the trip.

Men

After Wilson left early in the afternoon, Seraphina had been thinking about changing the location.

She suggested they should visit Hogria.

Naturally, no one objected. They moved to the new place the same day.

The weather in Hogria was perfect for surfing, but Seraphina couldn't get into it with Orion and Ken around.

The next evening, a warm breeze carried the heat through the air.

The hotel was owned by Orion. He had cleared the hotel for their arrival before they even got there.

Emeris had gone out exploring with the locals, leaving the others to rest at the hotel.

Seraphina descended the stairs in a soft beige dress. She appeared radiant and graceful, her beauty dazzling in its simplicity.

Orion was sitting in the lounge area and listening to the hotel manager's report on the quarter's performance. When he saw Seraphina approaching, he looked a little surprised. ""Heading out?"

"Mm," Seraphina hummed in response.

"There's a gathering

Without another word, she turned and headed for the door.

Orion pursed his lips.

He was about to ask her where she was going when a Porsche pulled up at the hotel entrance.

Shortly after, the driver's door opened, and someone stepped out.

It was Wilson.

Orion's eyes narrowed as a sharp, dangerous glint flashed in his gaze.

He stood up and walked over. Wilson was always a gentleman. He opened the car door for Seraphina When he saw Orion approach, he paused slightly and nodded politely. "Mr. Dros."

Orion's eyes darkened as he stared him down.

""Mr. Rockwell, what a coincidence."

Wilson had been the most unpredictable element in the whole trip.

He already left. Why is he back?

Orion hadn't been too keen on having him around in the first place, and now, bere he was, affecting his mood once again.

A breeze blew past, and Seraphina's silk scarf slipped from her shoulders, falling softly at Orion's feet.

Without a word, Orion bent down to pick it up.

At that exact moment, Wilson reached for it from the other side.

Orion's

gaze lifted, his deep, dark eyes filled with a cold chill. As their eyes met, both silent, simmering tension between them.

Neither of them was willing to let go first.

And neither spoke a word.

The atmosphere grew heavy, as if time itself had paused.

Chapter 330

A Disheartened Lucius

Seraphina turned around and walked over with a calm demeanor. Then she effortlessly pulled the scarf from the two people's hands.

The stillness in the air was abruptly broken.

"Let's go. Don't waste any more time, she said as she sat in the car, breaking the silence.

Wilson straightened his posture, his gaze cold and firm. "Goodbye, Mr. Orion," he said.

Wilson ignored the suffocating chill emanating from Orion as he glanced at him. Wilson walked around. the car, got in, and started the engine. Orion stood still. His long eyes were sharp and dangerous.

His possessions were being coveted-how could he remain indifferent?

Before long, Ken drove up in another car.

Orion didn't get in immediately. Instead, he calmly asked, "Ken, what events are happening in high society

today?"

If Wilson and Seraphina were attending an event together, it couldn't just be some insignificant party.

There was no way he wouldn't know about it.

After a moment of shock, Ken stammered out, "Today is Mr. Lucius's birthday. You declined his invitation."

Orion frowned at the explanation.

Ken went on. "I've heard that Mr. Lucius invited quite a few elites. He threw a huge party. Maybe you should consider stopping by.

Ken wasn't hopeful. He knew Orion wasn't one to waste time at parties without value.

Surprisingly, Orion hesitated and then replied, "Hmm, go and make arrangements."

Though taken aback, Ken quickly complied. He instructed the driver to prepare the car right away.

Soon, they arrived at a luxurious villa by the sea..

From a distance, one could hear laughter and cheerful voices.

When Lucius heard that Orion had arrived, he excitedly rushed to the door to greet him personally.

The moment Lucius saw Orion, he ran over and embraced him, overwhelmed with emotion,

"Buddy! I knew you'd come. I heard you were sick a few days ago, but here you are at my party despite that! It just shows how important I am to you! We'll be brothers for life!" Lucius's eyes welled with tears, his gratitude beyond words.

A Disheartened Lucius

It's unnecessary to get emotional in front of everyone, Mr. Lucius. We're all friends here."

Lucius nodded, deeply moved.

Orion's expression remained indifferent as he lifted his eyes to meet Lucius's gaze.

"Is Seraphina here?" he asked suddenly, catching Lucius off guard.

For a brief moment, Lucius's expression turned complicated. He asked, "Aren't you here to celebrate my birthday?"

He had sensed the implications behind Orion's question, and the pang of sadness instantly flooded his heart.

"Orion, why are you here?" A surprised voice came from behind Lucius. Seraphina was shocked to see Orion here. Lucius slowly turned around at the sound of her voice.

He had no idea when Seraphina had arrived.

His voice trembled as he looked back at Orion.

"So you really didn't come for me!"

He looked crestfallen, like a jealous wife.

While the two of them spoke, Ken had been scanning the crowd. It didn't take long for him to locate Seraphina.

Without hesitation, he guided Orion toward her direction, chattering as they walked.

"Mr. Lucius, Mr. Orion definitely attended the party for your sake. He made a special effort to wish happy birthday. Bumping into Ms. Cross was just a coincidence... No, kismet!" Ken glanced at Seraphina and corrected himself.

"Yes, definitely a kismet!"

Seraphina rolled her eyes at him as she walked up to them.

"Can you guys be done already?" she sighed.

Were they afraid people wouldn't hear them?

Orion's mood visibly improved the moment he saw Seraphina standing there alone.

The chill in his eyes melted away, replaced by warmth as he gazed at her, unwilling to look away.

"Hmm, kismet," he echoed withra soft smile.

Upon hearing this, Lucius edged closer.

"So, you really came here for me?"

A Disheartened Lucius

Orion didn't even glance at him, merely offering a faint smile.

"What a coincidence, Seraphina. Shall I take you to greet Mr. Crocker?"

Seraphina hesitated for a few seconds but then nodded in agreement. "Sure."

Crocker Group was an established enterprise specializing in iron ore extraction and processing, with several mines under its belt and a massive domestic and international market. Securing a partnership with that company would greatly benefit the Crosses.

Orion smiled. Ken stepped back at just the right moment. He was silently marveling at how Orion always knew how to handle things.

Lucius, however, huffed angrily. He complained, "You didn't come for me!"

With that, he turned and walked away.

Ken shook his head, feeling a bit sorry for Lucius.

Seraphina always held the highest priority on Orion's list, while everyone else was viewed as less significant.
