Seraphina changed her clothes and came down to the first floor.The young master was already seated at the dining table, but he hadn't started eating—he seemed to be waiting for her.She hurried over, and the young master looked up at her.His gaze paused on her outfit for two seconds, then the corners of his lips lifted into a faint smile.It seemed he really liked seeing her in this dress. Seraphina's heavy heart suddenly felt a little lighter.No matter how difficult Damien was to deal with, the young master would surely have his own way. She had to trust him. Yes!The two of them sat across from each other and quietly finished their breakfast.Once they were in the car, Seraphina sat in the passenger seat and asked, “Young master, where are we going?”“We’ll be there soon.”The young master replied as he started the car.Seraphina tilted her head and looked at him. She couldn’t help but feel like he was deliberately avoiding her questions today.Forget it. No point overthinking. W

Despite being mentally prepared and having said everything that needed to be said, when they walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, and it was finally time to sign, Seraphina still felt nervous.In the midst of her nervousness, there was also a complex happiness. She never expected that something she had longed for would suddenly come true in such a way, under these circumstances.Once the signature was made, she was officially the young master’s wife.“It’s not a slave contract, no need to be so anxious,” the young master teased her.As he spoke, the young master quickly signed his name with bold strokes.Seraphina stared at those three characters, momentarily dazed."Ryan"—she had seen these characters countless times and had secretly mimicked his handwriting many times, but this was the first time they appeared on a marriage agreement with her name on it.The young master patted her on the shoulder and patiently said, “Even after we’re married, if you’re not happy with me, you can s

With Young Master’s words hanging in the air, Seraphina didn’t know how to refuse him.Because the excuse he gave was airtight—there was no flaw to exploit.She glanced at the figure on the second floor out of the corner of her eye, bit her lip, and gave Young Master a small nod.He smiled, his tone affectionate: “My Seraphina is so obedient.”“What?”Young Master looked down at her, his voice low and close, almost a little impatient.Seraphina said, “But you can’t go too far, or I’ll bite you.”He chuckled. “Alright.”Then, he gently moved her hand away and kissed her lips.Seraphina stared into his eyes. “Young Master, if you want to kiss me in the future, you can ask. If I’m in a good mood, I might agree. You don’t have to use ‘acting’ as an excuse every time.”Yes, she had seen through him from the start.After all, if this was just to fool the person on the second floor, a little flirting would be enough. There was no need to kiss for so long.But Seraphina didn’t expose him—beca

The young master exchanged polite pleasantries with Damien, saying things like “You’re too kind.”Seraphina simply kept a polite smile on her face, not paying much attention to the small talk.As for whether Isabel was genuinely offering her congratulations, Seraphina wasn’t sure.But she was absolutely certain—Damien’s smile was anything but sincere, no matter how kind he appeared on the surface.Two minutes later, Uncle Wesley returned to the dining room, carrying two gift boxes—one large, one small.The large box was about the size of a pillow, and the smaller one was roughly the size of a watch case. Both were adorned with satin ribbons tied into delicate bows, looking quite exquisite.Damien rose to personally hand the gifts to them.It turned out, the large box was for Seraphina. Inside was a pillowcase made entirely of precious sea pearls.Damien explained that sleeping on a pearl pillow like this could calm the nerves and improve sleep, especially beneficial for women, even sa

Seraphina turned to look at his face, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Then let’s pretend we’re tired tonight—not in the mood for anything else.”He let out a soft chuckle, seeming a bit helpless, but there was an undercurrent of appreciation in his gaze.“Alright, we’ll do as you say, Seraphina.”With that, he stood up. “It’s chilly out here. Let’s go back—the room should be ready by now.”Seraphina hugged their wedding gifts and followed him toward the main house.Whether there were cameras in the room or whether Damien was watching to judge the authenticity of their marriage—none of that mattered at the moment. Seraphina simply didn’t want to sleep with him under such hazy circumstances.Humans are contradictory creatures.When the young master used to keep his distance from her, she longed for any moment of intimacy. But now, he’d hold her hand without hesitation, casually say things that made her blush, and there was even a real opportunity to push him down and… well, he d
