The group entered the mansion and settled into the seats in the living room. Benjamin quickly served a cup of coffee and two glasses of milk.

The milk was meant for Seraphina and Emeris.

Emeris smiled apologetically and said, "Mr. Dros, I must apologize for the lack of hospitality. I'm getting older, and coffee keeps me awake at night, so I won't be joining you. Seraphina prefers her beauty sleep, so she shouldn't have coffee either." Orion glanced at the rich, hand-ground black coffee before him, managing to pull a strained smile onto his stiff face.

"I really enjoy drinking coffee at night."

"Well, that's good," Seraphina said, raising an eyebrow.

"Since you enjoy it so much, why not give our house blend a try?"

Orion's gaze swept over her, dark and inscrutable.

"Sure."

With her egging on, he wouldn't refuse.

He lifted the cup and pretended to savor a few sips before finishing it in

Even Emeris noticed something was off.

Clearing his throat, he asked, "How is your family doing?"

Orion nodded and said, "They're all doing well."

one go.

"By the way, I heard recently that you were going to marry that girl from the Clark Group. How's that going? Have you exchanged engagement rings yet? Emeris brought this up casually, as it had popped into his mind.

Orion chuckled softly and said, "That's just a rumor, Emeris. You've misunderstood; we never intended to arrange a marriage with them."

"She's practically living at your place, and

ou say there's no intent?"

Seraphina lounged lazily on the sofa. If it weren't for Orion's presence, she would have curled up more comfortably.

Orion looked at her, as if he were explaining something specifically for her.

"There's never been anyone else I want to marry but one person."

And that person is

is you.

Seraphina yawned, not wanting to continue.

"I'm tired."

Orion's eyes darkened momentarily before he stood up to excuse himself.

Emeris watched the silent battle between the two with keen interest.

He knew that Orion hadn't given up on Seraphina; if anything, he seemed a bit obsessive. But that was fine with him.

After all, he had once made Seraphina suffer, and now it was Orion's turn to feel that sting.

After a few polite exchanges, he asked Benjamin to see Orion off.

Seraphina stretched lazily and decided to head upstairs for a rest.

"Wait," Emeris called, tapping his fingers thoughtfully. "What's your relationship with Orion right now?"

It was obvious that something was off!

It didn't resemble a romantic relationship, nor did it seem like a couple who had fought and split.

Seraphina pursed her lips, a hint of nonchalance in her brow.

"It's just a casual fling."

She was the only one interacting with him.

Emeris knew that Seraphina could be quite rational at crucial moments, especially with her post-divorce attitude toward Orion.

She didn't want to rekindle their relationship.

So when she said it was just for fun, it likely was just that.

He smiled, though a hint of weariness displayed on his face.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"If it's just for fun, then go ahead. We can afford to play around, but be careful not to get burned."

He reminded kindly.

"Don't worry," Seraphina replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Now, about that, Wilson. I actually think he's not bad, at least better than Orion. His child is currently staying with us. Let's be honest, that kid is charming-especially to you. If you choose him, I will support your decision. Emeris-had thought this through. In their circle, there were plenty of matches that made sense.

But compared to Orion, they all seemed lacking.

However, Wilson's influence abroad meant he wouldn't be under Orion's shadow. It could be worth a shot.

Halfway up the stairs, Seraphina turned back, frowning at Emeris.

"Dad marriage is orave I just got out alive. how could possibly go back in?"

Hearing this, Emeris was overjoyed.

"Exactly!"

The next morning, as Seraphina headed to work, she noticed Justin's car was absent. She had no idea if he had returned home the night before.

Once she arrived at the office, she found Thomas unusually chatty.

"Ms. Cross, I heard last night's party was quite the spectacle. Mr. Brown's remarriage banquet is going down in history, isn't it?"

It was not unexpected that he had heard; with so many people in attendance, news spread quickly.

Seraphina smiled and said, "Yeah, it was truly spectacular!"

Halfway to the office, he noticed a woman standing at the front desk and spoke with the secretary.

Squinting, Seraphina realized this was the leading lady from last night's event.

The secretary didn't recognize her. Since Lila hadn't made an appointment, she didn't let her through. ""Ms. Everhart?"
