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

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

"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

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

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. Her
