Chapter 151

Serena's 18th birthday had come and gone without Justin by her side. He hadn't been there for reasons he never fully explained. When he finally returned, he promised to make it up to her. He had casually asked her what she wanted.Wrapping her arms around his waist, Serena said, "You haven't exactly declared your love for me. I want a grand gesture—a room full of roses and a heartfelt confession. Will you grant me that?"Justin promised. However, that long-awaited declaration never came.Justin stood before her, his gaze fixed on her exquisite features lest he miss even the slightest change in her expression. "Do you remember? I promised to make it up to you.""I remember," Serena replied, her tone even. "It was so long ago. I was only 18 then, speaking without thinking. It's not important anymore. You really don't need to put yourself through this." Serena's expression was tranquil."You don't care anymore?" Justin asked."Yeah," Serena replied without pausing."You're lying!"

Jenna's face twisted with rage. "Serena, who do you think you are? What makes you worthy of having Justin kneel before you?"She charged forward, raising her hand to slap Serena. However, before she could land the strike, Serena caught her wrist. "Mrs. Farrow, take a good look. I didn't make your son kneel. He did that himself!"She shoved Jenna away, shaking off her grip, her expression calm yet distant.Jenna glared at her, seething. "What kind of spell did you cast on Justin? Let me make one thing perfectly clear—even if Justin is foolish enough to want to marry you, I'll never permit it! The Farrow family's daughter-in-law will be someone worthy of our name, not some jinx who brought ruin upon her own family!"A chill settled in Serena's gaze. "My father died protecting Mr. Farrow Senior," she stated, her voice even. "Have you conveniently forgotten that? And let me be clear—I never desired any connection to the Farrow family in the first place!" Jenna sneered. "Well, aren't

"What are you going to do then? You know how stubborn Justin is. If you push him too hard, he might never come home again," Mollie cautioned. Jenna's jaw tightened. "I'll find him a suitable wife. The Farrow family's daughter-in-law will be my choice, not his!"Mollie sighed. She knew better than to argue with her mother. Jenna's need for control was absolute, and if she wanted a war with Justin, then so be it. As Damian drove Serena home, he noticed her quiet contemplation. "My Aunt Jenna can be difficult," he offered gently. "Don't let her words get to you, Serena.""They didn't," Serena replied, her voice flat. "You seem preoccupied," Damian observed. "I'm just tired." Serena pinched the bridge of her nose. "Whenever Justin is involved, I feel drained."Damian's fingers drummed a silent rhythm on the steering wheel. "Do you still have feelings for Justin?""No," Serena answered without hesitation."I see." He was surprised by her quick response. After a pause, he spoke

Damian ignored her message.Zoey called him directly. "Damian, why aren't you answering? You said you found the perfect model. Who is it?"Why are you so curious?" Damian asked."Because none of those influencers or celebrities ever meet your standards, but now some random person does? Of course, I'm curious." Zoey's tone carried a hint of jealousy. "Wow, keeping it a secret? She must be some stunning beauty. Look, I might be one with the guys, but I'm still a woman. Are you afraid I'll steal her from you?"Damian barely reacted. "I'm driving. We'll talk later." Then he hung up.…Back in her apartment, Serena collapsed onto her bed, drained. Almost at once, her phone vibrated with a deluge of texts from Justin. Serena swiftly blocked Justin's number. As she did, a new notification arrived. It was Wilson, sending a joke. "One day, a crab accidentally bumped into an octopus. The octopus got mad and yelled, 'Are you clumsy?' The crab replied, 'No, I'm just a little shell-shocked.

"Serena never knew I existed," Wilson said, a hint of wistfulness in his voice. "I just watched her from afar. And somewhere along the way, I fell for her."Jacob gave him a pointed look. "I see. So, you're a stalker.""Get lost," Wilson retorted, but a smile played on his lips.From that day on, Serena received a quirky joke from Wilson every night before bedtime. They were strange, sometimes even nonsensical, but they had a certain charm.Serena always kept her composure, but late at night, under the covers, she'd occasionally burst into laughter. There was something about his quirky sense of humor that always got to her.On Friday, Serena approached Wilson as the workday was ending. "Mr. Quade, are you free this weekend?"Wilson leaned back in his black leather chair, his eyes meeting hers. "Why?""It's nothing big. I just wanted to thank you for all your help since I started at Quade Group, and I thought I'd treat you to a meal.""I'm free." Wilson didn't hesitate at all, a

Serena paused, momentarily surprised. She had intended for him to take the wrap himself."It's delicious," Wilson said, completely at ease. "Hold it a little closer. I'll have another bite."Reluctantly, Serena held the wrap to his lips.The entire drive, Wilson continued to eat this way, casually taking bites. As he finished the last bite, he seemed to accidentally graze her finger with his lips.Serena flinched, a jolt of awareness shooting through her."Did I bite you?" Wilson asked."No," Serena replied. It hadn't hurt, but her fingertip felt strangely warm. The lingering sensation of his lips brought back the memory of their kiss. For someone who usually seemed so laid-back and nonchalant, his kiss had been surprisingly intense.A sudden gust of wind startled her, pulling her from her thoughts. She glanced at Wilson.He was calm, composed. "Your face is flushed," he observed. "I thought you might be warm."Serena said nothing, her mind racing.At the mall, Wilson was abo

"Let's hear it," Wilson said casually. "I haven't got all day.""I need you to invest in Zimmers Corporation," Aaron began, his voice tight. "One of our projects has stalled, and our funding fell through when our investor ran into financial trouble. I'm looking for a new one—""And you thought of me?" Wilson asked."Yes," Aaron admitted. "The project itself is sound. Our company has a history of steady growth. I can assure you—""I'm not interested," Wilson cut him off.Aaron's face stiffened. "Mr. Quade, you haven't even heard the details. At least take a look. Please, just give me a chance."Wilson's gaze remained impassive. "You're talking about Zimmers Corporation's latest unfinished property scandal, aren't you?""It's not exactly—" Aaron tried to explain."Promising buyers fully furnished apartments but handing over bare units instead. Is that not an unfinished project?" Wilson scoffed. "The real estate market has been declining for years. Anyone with foresight is already

"Mr. Quade," Serena said, hurrying to catch up. Her eyes searched his face. "Are you upset?""What makes you think I'm upset?" Wilson countered."It's… obvious," Serena replied.Wilson was silent for a moment. Then, he stopped walking and turned to face her, his gaze intense. "Serena, did you invite me out today to express your gratitude, or was it a setup?"Serena's expression turned sheepish. "You saw through it?" She said apologetically, "Aaron is Laurie's boyfriend, and she's very important to me. I wanted to help her, so I used this as an excuse. I'm sorry.""If you needed my help, you could've just asked me directly. Why lie to me?" Wilson asked."Huh?" Serena was caught off guard. "But we're not that close. You're my boss. It wouldn't be appropriate to just ask you to meet with Aaron and help him out."Great. They had kissed before, yet all he got in return was they were not that close. She certainly had a way of getting under his skin. Serena paused, then asked tenta

"Say something, Justin," Mollie urged. "Are you even listening?""So what?" Justin replied."What?" Mollie was taken aback."Why are you telling me this?" Justin said. Mollie grew anxious. "Justin, why are you being so passive? Didn't you practically beg her to come back? Are you just going to give up that easily? Act like a man and win her back from Wilson!"Justin's voice turned cold. "I don't need you to remind me. She'll come back to me. But I'm curious. When did you become such a champion of my relationship with Serena?"Mollie felt a twinge of guilt. "Can't I support true love?" she offered weakly. "Besides, Serena is still better than Candice. I'd much rather have her as my sister-in-law."More importantly, if Serena got back with Justin, she would have a chance with Wilson. Mollie was the eldest daughter of the Farrow family, and no matter how one looked at it, she was a much more suitable match for him. "This is my business. Stay out of it." Justin then ended the cal

"I already said I'm sorry," Serena said, a slight pout on her lips."Are you giving me the cold shoulder now?" Wilson asked sternly."I wouldn't dare," Serena replied, wiping her fingers with a sanitizing wipe. Her delicate features were tinged with a hint of annoyance.Wilson studied her for a moment, then sighed. "Never mind. You're beautiful. You can ignore me if you want.""Okay…" Serena replied, a little confused.He, however, was the one who relented. "Come with me when you're finished eating."Wilson stood up and walked toward the terrace.Serena followed. A short climb led them to a small observation deck. Leaning against the railing, Serena gazed at the city sprawling below. The streets shimmered like ribbons of light, and the skyscrapers glittered, creating a breathtaking panorama.Wilson pointed to a distinctive high-rise building in the distance. "See that? That's the Farrow Corporation headquarters.""Yeah." She would recognize it anywhere, even if it were reduc
