“People’s eyes were like dye vats, they only held pretty colors. But you, in other people’s eyes, just being yourself was enough.”
Seryna’s eyes were filled with tears. “Grandma, thank you.” “Alright, stop saying thank you all the time. Did you come to see me for something?” Devona asked with a loving smile.
“Grandma, I made a friend and wanted to see him tonight. We agreed to meet at five.”
Devona: “Then go upstairs and change, go meet your friend.”
“Okay, Grandma, I would come back early.”
Seryna smiled and went upstairs to change her clothes.
Grandma made a move, then she kept going, and Jeremiah would slowly lose his power.
Meanwhile.
the Willard family.
Jeremiah got a call from his assistant, and he also got a warning from his grandma.
He sat on the living room couch, leaning forward a bit, his whole vibe kind of aggressive.
In his mind, it was what Tehila said to him at the hospital.
Grandma wanted to train Seryna to be her successor.
He didn’t believe it before, but now the assistant’s words made him have to believe it.
He suddenly stood up, a cold smile on his lips, and the project he’d been following for half a year was suddenly called
off
Every time he stood up for Tila, he got the branch taken back.
The first time, he felt a sense of crisis.
He walked forward but didn’t watch where he was going. His knee hit the marble coffee table, and the pain snapped
him back
The words that popped into his mind made him feel like he’d fallen into an ice cellar.
“Big bro, what happened to you? Why do you look so lost?” Tebula asked carefully. She rarely saw Jeremiah with such a gloomy look.
Jeremiah glanced at her, pressed his lips together and shook his head. “It’s nothing.”

Tehila had dinner plans with Brunell tonight, so she didn’t have time to comfort Jeremiah. Jeremiah would calm him- self down and then keep being nice to her.
The most important thing for her now was to marry Brunell and finish her plan.
the front door of the Willard family’s old house.
Seryna stood at the door waiting for Cal to come pick her up.
The fancy car arrived at the villa gate on time, and the door slowly opened.
What Seryna saw was Cal’s tall, relaxed sitting posture, and that unbelievably handsome face.
She was slightly stunned, and the moment she met his eyes, she looked like she’d been shocked by electricity, just staring at him blankly.
Calbert gave her a slight smile, his voice low and happy: “Sera, get in the car.”
Sera, get in the car, just four words, her voice sounded amazing. Seryna felt like her soul was taken away.
The autumn wind was a bit chilly, but it couldn’t blow away the deep, mellow voice by my car.
Seryna quickly calmed herself and gave a bright smile: “Cal, thank you for picking me up.”
Seryna bent down and got in the car. Today, she was wearing a black dress and had her hair in a ponytail.
Grandma said, when there weren’t any social events, she could wear her favorite style, but she still had to be fashion- able. She said, your taste in clothes is the face of the Willard family.
She sat next to Calbert, and the masculinity coming from him made a faint panic rise in her heart.
Such a strong vibe. Last night when he held her, she didn’t feel it this strongly. Now he was just sitting next to her, and that pressure wasn’t something most people could handle.
A man’s deep voice came from beside my ear: “Go to Faykeep Hotel.”
Driver: “Yes.”
Seryna hadn’t reacted yet, and Calbert had already lifted her skirt. He did it naturally and gracefully.
Seryna was startled and quickly asked, “F…Cal, what are you doing?”
Calbert gave her a quick glance, saw how nervous she was, then looked down at her knees. “Nothing.”
Seryna thought that the second time they met, his moves were way too flirty. She blushed: “Then why did you lift my skirt and look?”
Calbert looked at her with a half–smile and said, “Look at the wound.”
The words look at the wound came from his red lips with desire, and Seryna realized she had overthought it.

Right after that, Calbert’s voice came from above, “Sera, what do you think I want to see? Or do you want to show me something, huh!”
The mm sound at the end was lingering and tender, making Seryna’s chest feel hot. Some strange feeling broke out from her chest, and the unfamiliar emotion made Seryna tense up her back.
Calbert was checking Seryna’s wound, and his fingers were warm, dry, and strong.
