Chapter 54
Undeniably, Seraphina was into Dashiell. Dashiell did a lot for Seraphina during the time they spent
together. However, Seraphina was not sure if she loved Dashiell.
Dashiell was handsome, rich, gentle, and considerate. Seraphina fancied Dashiell, but…. Love?
Dashiell wasn’t surprised at Seraphina’s answer. He smiled, stroked her lips gently, and said, “That’s
okay. We have a lot of time. You’ll love me bit by bit.”
After a pause, Dashiell continued, “But… I won’t do the last step until then. You will truly trust me and
desire me only when you are certain you love me.”
Seeing him release his hand and get up as if he was leaving, Seraphina came back to her senses and
asked anxiously, “Do you love me?”
Seraphina was really curious about his answer.
Dashiell turned to look at Seraphina and smiled, “Of course, I love you!”
Seraphina didn’t know what to say.
Looking at him in shock, she was a bit confused. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
She thought that he would also hesitate, deny it, or give her a vague answer. She hadn’t expected him
to say with such certainty that he loved her.
She thought, ‘He loves me? But we’ve only known each other for a short time! What does he love
about me?’
Before she could ask, Dashiell added, “Well, don’t fall asleep the next time you take a bath. I don’t want
you to die before you fall in love with me. If you’re not that tired, get dressed and go downstairs for
dinner.”
Seraphina was left alone in the room, but her heart was still beating frantically.
Dashiell put on her clothes and went downstairs. When she reached the staircase, she could smell the
fragrance of food. Dashiell was sitting at the table, and he had even set the tableware for her.
The dinner today was extremely rich. Each dish was served in small portions, but there were plenty of
dishes to choose from. Seraphina glanced at the dishes and asked, “Did you order takeout?”
“Sort of,” answered Dashiell.
In fact, Dashiell hired a five-star Michelin chef to cook for them.

Dashiell carefully treated Seraphina’s steak and placed the plate in front of her.
Seraphina wasn’t used to it.
She glanced at the chopped steak on her plate, looked over to Dashiell, who was going to serve her
spaghetti, and said hesitantly, “You know… You don’t have to do that for me. I can do it myself.
Dashiell said lightly, “I didn’t do this for you specifically. I just like doing this…”
Seraphina was speechless.
Placing the plate of spaghetti in front of Seraphina, he continued, “There, cat.”
Seraphina didn’t speak for a moment.
The table in front of Seraphina was filled with plates of various foods, which made her feel warm and
content as if her stomach had been filled.
Seraphina hadn’t experienced the feeling of being cared for like this in a long time.
Seraphina had to undergo all sorts of rigorous education and training since she was a child. When she
grew up, she finally managed to break free from her family and choose to study her favorite field and
do what she loved, but then, she lost the competition and broke up with her family for Julian.
Seraphina was always independent. Therefore, she used to rely on herself as much as possible. When
Julian ignored her for a long time, she told herself that he was busy with his work. When Julian left
soon after he had dinner, she told herself it was okay. However, her love was worn out.
Dashiell made Seraphina feel spoiled in a way she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Seeing Seraphina sitting still, Dashiell asked, “What’s wrong?
don’t like them?”
Dashiell didn’t know what Seraphina liked to eat, so he prepared a lot of dishes. He asked, “Which
country’s cuisine do you like?”
Taking a deep breath, Seraphina looked down, took a bite of the dish, and smiled, “It doesn’t matter. It’s
who I’m eating with that matters. It’s delicious!”
Seraphina took the initiative to pick up the pasta with her fork, bring it to Dashiell’s lips, and said lightly,
“Try it”
Dashiell was stunned. Looking at the fork in front of him, he smiled and ate them slowly.
Seeing him eating gracefully, Seraphina thought for a while and said, “You asked me the

question just now. I think about it carefully again. Indeed, I dare not say that I love you. now, but this
does not mean that I don’t love you. After all, we haven’t been together long. But I do think I will fall in
love with you someday.
If Seraphina’s tone had not been so earnest, Dashiell would almost have thought she was talking about
the weather.
Dashiell didn’t answer. Seeing him staring at her, Seraphina thought he wasn’t satisfied with the
answer.
Seraphina added anxiously, “I don’t want to lie to you. I swear.
Dashiell nodded and said with a faint smile, “I know. I also told you. It’s okay.”
Looking into his eyes, Seraphina was relieved to know that he didn’t say anything against her will. But
at the same time, the doubt bothered her even more. She blurted out, “But you just said…”
After hesitating for a while, Seraphina went on, “What do you love me for?”
There was a long silence. The air was quiet as if nothing existed except Seraphina and Dashiell.
Seraphina’s eyes were filled with confusion, while there was a complicated look in Dashiell’s eyes as if
he had a lot to say.
Finally, Dashiell slowly raised one hand and stroked her check. His voice was mellow and magnetic as
he said slowly, “Everything. Your everything.”
Seraphina’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. Looking into Dashiell’s eyes, she saw love.
Although it was kind of strange, she didn’t doubt that he said he loved her at
all.
But this feeling was really strange.
Holding Dashiell’s hand that was caressing her cheek, Seraphina gripped it firmly and said, “I promise
that I will love everything about you, too.”
Dashiell smiled.
After dinner, Seraphina tried to clean up out of habit, but Dashiell moved faster. He directly picked up
the plates, walked into the kitchen, put them all in the dishwasher, pressed the button, turned around,
looked at her, and said, “I told you that you don’t need to enter the kitchen to do the dishes.”
Seraphina chuckled, “And I told you that I’m not that fragile or lazy.”
Dashiell hugged her waist and grinned, “You are more precious to me than anything. else.”

Dashiell lowered his head and kissed Seraphina on the forehead. Then, he let go of her hand, turned to
hold her wrist, and said eagerly, “Come on. I want to show you something”
Dashiell pulled her to the living room and asked her to sit down and wait for a moment. Dashiell went to
the study and came out soon with some paper in his hand.
After checking the object in his hand once more, Dashiell handed Seraphina the contract and said,
“Take a look.”
