บททั้งหมดของ REBORN TO MARRY MY EX’S BILLIONAIRE UNCLE: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Seraphina’s POVI stared at the menu, while tracing the elegant writings without really reading it. The leather felt expensive under my fingertips, as soft candlelight flickered across the expensive white tablecloth. Outside the tall widows, stood the private courtyard that looked like a painting. This place is Infact a dream, I was still lost in picking between a truffle risotto and a sea bass when I heard a polite cough beside me. I looked up and a man in a perfectly tailored suit stood there with hands folded in front of him like a butler. He bowed slightly before addressing me. “Mrs. Knight,” he said, voice warm. “It is an honor to meet you, you are indeed, most befitting of L’Éclipse.”I blinked, confused by the formal address and the way he looked at me—almost as if he were welcoming a new owner rather than a guest.Then he extended a slim black folder.“If you would be so kind as to sign this.”I took it automatically, still thinking it must be some exclusive membership form

Seraphina’s POV I stared at Ethan’s name until the ringing stopped, then I blocked the number without thinking twice. I already knew why he was calling, the realization of losing me must have dawned on him after today’s news and he’s trying now to make me see reasons why Alexander is not the best for me. But I don’t care, I have no interest whatsoever in hearing whatever excuse or demand he was planning on throwing at me. The phone barely had time to rest on the cushion before it started vibrating again, this time my sister's name displayed on the screen, making me laugh as I rejected the call. Then almost immediately, my phone rang again but this time it was my mother calling and immediately, I rejected the call as well. I’m not ready to speak to any of them and I sincerely hope they would just let me be. When the phone rang again, I was already expecting it so I just declined it. When I saw that it was my dad this time, I genuinely laughed. The whole family definitely alre

Seraphina’s POVThe moment I ended the call with my father or should I say victor now since I’ve disowned him by myself, the sour taste of his voice lingered in my mouth.I stood by the window for a while, arms crossed, staring at nothing in particular. The satisfaction of cutting him off was real, but it left a residual irritation under my skin. It pissed me off and gosh I needed this headache to just disappear, oh that’s right, I owned a restaurant, a wardrobe full of the nicest clothes and accessories one could think of and i have a black card with no limit that my husband gave to me, A small, unexpected giggle slipped out of me.I pushed away from the window and walked back to the bedroom with lighter steps. Opening the closet that the staff had prepared for me, I chose a simple but elegant cream blouse and tailored trousers, slipped on low heels, and pulled my hair into a neat low ponytail. When I checked my reflection, the woman looking back at me no longer seemed like someon

Alexander’s POVMy office had settled into a comfortable quiet.I finished another bite of the scallops, still mildly surprised by how good they tasted.Across from me, Seraphina sat curled on the black couch, legs tucked beneath her, watching me with that soft, unguarded expression she rarely showed anyone else.After a moment she spoke, her voice quieter than usual.“What would you have done,” she asked, “if I had insisted on your secretary being let go?”I set the fork down carefully and met her eyes. “She would have been gone immediately.”Seraphina’s fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the cushion. “Just like that? Without even thinking about it?”“Yes.”She looked down for a second, then back up at me. There was something more fragile in her expression now—something that hadn’t been there when she was calmly confronting the secretary in the hallway.“You wouldn’t have regretted losing her?” she asked. “She said she worked here for years. She seemed… competent.”I held

Alexander’s POVBy the time we reached the private garage beneath the building, Seraphina had already woken up in my arms, she shifted against me while blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights, then frowned up at me.“Put me down,” she said. “I can walk on my own.”I didn’t slow my steps as I kept my arms firm around her.“Alexander.” There was a clearer edge of protest in her voice now. “Why didn’t you just wake me up instead of carrying me all the way down here?”A faint smile touched my mouth despite the lingering tension from the day.“There was no other way about it.”She looked like she wanted to argue further, but the driver had already opened the rear door of the black Maybach, and so I leaned down to set her inside.However the moment my hand brushed the edge of the door frame, something felt wrong.It was subtle at first, an almost imperceptible shift in the way the vehicle rested on its tires, and a somewhat faint metallic irregularity in the air, the kind of quiet wro
