The air outside the restaurant was tense, but inside, Serena was oblivious to it. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Sweetheart, eat some more, you’re so thin it makes me feel sorry for you!"

Chase Sherman rarely agreed with Claire Keaton, but he joined her in serving Serena more food.

"Yes, Serena, you should eat more!"

Seeing the bowl full to the brim with the food they gave her, Serena rubbed her temples helplessly, "Chase, Claire, I’m really full."

"Alright then!"

Seeing that Serena truly couldn’t eat anymore, Claire gave up on continuing to feed her, wrapping an arm around her slim waist and patting it, worriedly voicing her thoughts.

"How can I get my darling to gain some weight?"

Watching her actions, Chase Sherman furrowed his brow deeply.

If she weren’t a woman, doing this to Serena, he would have definitely cut off her hands!

"Claire, stop touching, it tickles..."

Serena moved slightly, then took out her phone. Seeing the message from the man, her rosy lips curved into a faint smile.

She was naturally stunning, and with that slight smile, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Claire Keaton was spellbound, holding her tight, reluctant to let go. "My darling is truly gorgeous!"

Chase Sherman looked at her with some perplexity. He obviously knew how beautiful his sister was, but how was this woman so completely captivated by Serena?

Feeling Chase Sherman’s gaze, Claire Keaton immediately turned her head lazily, her sultry expression landing on him. "What’s with the stare?"

Chase Sherman immediately snorted coldly, his handsome face stern as he looked away.

Always showing a sour face!

Claire Keaton’s eyes gleamed with mischief, and taking advantage of Serena’s bathroom break, she sauntered up to him, speaking nonchalantly.

"Still mad about me grabbing your butt when I was drunk yesterday?"

At her words, Chase Sherman’s expression became even colder as he spoke through clenched teeth, "Shut up, don’t bring it up again!"

Seeing his intense reaction, Claire’s mischief deepened, boldly leaning closer, her captivating eyes fixed on him.

"I’m ready to take responsibility. What if you agree to be with me?"

Chase Sherman hadn’t expected her to get so close, and he panicked, his heart missing a beat.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Claire’s smile widened, as she breathed gently in his ear, her breath fragrant as she spoke.

"After all, you make me really like you!"

Chase Sherman felt the places she touched burning like fire, his ears turning red instantly.

Watching his handsome face turn crimson, Claire’s lips curled up, her smile wicked.

"Tsk tsk tsk, can’t handle the teasing, huh!"

Upon hearing this, Chase Sherman’s face turned from red to green, furiously clenching his fists.

Saying she liked him, when she was clearly messing with him!

Seeing his angry and embarrassed demeanor, Claire’s wicked smile widened, her eyes squinting in contemplation.

If she could have him, get him to obey her, it would be quite fun later on...

Serena returned from the restroom and saw the scene, her delicate brows raising in nonchalance.

One seemed really upset, while the other was clearly in high spirits.

Chase always maintained his composure, rarely losing it. She was curious about what Claire had done to make him so perturbed.

"Serena, you’re back. Let’s go, Chase will take you home!"

Seeing Serena, Chase Sherman immediately stood up, pulling her to leave, his lips pressed tight.

He didn’t want to spend another second with this frivolous woman!

Watching this, Serena couldn’t help but click her tongue in mild exasperation.

Tsk, she’s a bit worried now about how Chase and Claire will get along after she leaves Imperia for Ystoria...

As they exited the restaurant, Serena saw two men standing at the entrance.

She blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion, "Why did both of you come?"

The moment Serena stepped out, Damian Quinn and Lucas Laine simultaneously toned down their presence, no longer having the earlier tense atmosphere, displaying brotherly harmony.

"Just happened to cross paths."

Witnessing this, Chase Sherman couldn’t help but silently marvel.

Tsk tsk, he knew Master Damian’s acting skills were good, but didn’t expect the Vice Alliance Hierarch’s acting to be so great as well!

"Lucas, you’re really thoughtful, how did you know Serena just finished a meal and wanted a milk tea?"

Claire, a step behind Serena, praised when she saw the milk tea in Lucas’s hand, while also subtly mocking.

"Unlike someone, who came to pick Serena up empty-handed!"

Damian Quinn’s eyes darkened, his brows furrowing, but considering Claire’s familial ties, he said nothing and endured.

Lucas Laine’s handsome face revealed a glimmer of amusement, his tone naturally soft and indulgent, "Serena, try it, I ordered it to your taste."

"Thanks." Serena took the milk tea but didn’t drink it.

After all, the jealous one at home gets easily upset over anything.

Seeing the girl not intending to drink Lucas’s milk tea, Damian Quinn smiled, immediately taking her hand.

"Baby, I’ll take you home!"

"Okay." Serena nodded in agreement, then turned to remind Lucas and Claire, "I’ll head home first, Claire, see you tomorrow."

Seeing Serena not resisting Damian’s touch at all, Lucas’s gaze became colder, watching them leave, suppressing his tumultuous emotions as he ordered coldly.

"Change the shipping route to go through Imperia."

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Guard showed difficulty in his expression, "But Vice Alliance Hierarch, changing routes now might..."

Lucas’s voice turned deep and displeased, his eyes cold as he interrupted, "Do you have objections to my plans?"

The Hidden Guard felt chills from head to toe, hurriedly shaking his head, "No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare! Vice Alliance Hierarch, I’ll proceed as you instructed!"
