Finished

The air was silent for a moment. Wilson's expression remained gentle. He rubbed his temples, his tone carrying a hint of apology.

His voice was low and deep.

"It was inconsiderate of me, but I wasn't approaching Ms. Cross for the sake of marriage alliance. What if I told you it was for personal reasons? I've admired you for a long time." Seraphina lowered her eyes as she poured the tea. Hearing those last words, her hand trembled slightly.

The fragrance of tea filled the room, and a few drops spilled, catching the light of the tea like the warm rays of the sun reaching out just for her.

For a moment, her heart fluttered, and she fell into a trance.

But she quickly regained her composure, her voice cooler than before.

"Apart from our business dealings, we aren't familiar with each other. How long exactly has it been, Mr. Rockwell, since this so-called 'long time' began?"

He could come up with lies easily, but Seraphina wasn't someone who could be easily swayed by sweet words. She was skeptical of people who threw around falsehoods with ease.

Wilson met her gaze openly and explained, "It's not quite a year, but every day since I met you, I've been secretly thrilled to find you single. Seraphina, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Rockwell. I lost my wife three years ago, and I have a son."

He lowered his eyes and gave a small, self-deprecating smile. "It doesn't sound like I have much to offer, but I have a lot of money. I'm not sure of the exact amount, but if you want to know, I can have someone calculate it. It might take a while, though, since there are some assets I've forgotten about. And ...

He paused, his expression growing serious, a glimmer in his gentle eyes.

"Dani is actually my late brother's son."

Seraphina stiffened, suddenly at a loss for words.

His self-deprecation had already unsettled her.

This secret weighed heavily on her heart.

Could it be that no one else knew, and yet he was telling her so openly?

She felt a deep compassion for Dani, her emotions becoming unexpectedly complicated.

Wilson continued, "I'm telling you this because it's my biggest secret. Don't feel burdened. I was planning to tell Dani once he's old enough to understand."

Seraphina pressed her lips together. It felt as though she had unintentionally touched upon Wilson's

sorrow.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry into your secrets."

She found no joy in knowing this.

Wilson seemed to have laid himself bare before her, filled with sincerity.

But what about her?

She didn't seem to have the passion to start a relationship.

Wilson's smile remained gentle and humble. "Well, I just wanted you to know me a little better. I didn't want you to think I was just chasing after you because of physical attraction." Seraphina gradually relaxed.

After a while, she excused herself to the restroom.-

Not far away, Lucius and Aron had been watching them closely. The atmosphere between the two seemed harmonious-the handsome man and the beautiful woman really looked well-matched

Lucius glanced at his phone, frustrated by the lack of message notification. He grew more and more panicked by the seconds.

He had sent a text message to Orion; why wasn't there any response?

Was he on his way with a machete in hand?

Without further delay, Lucius and Aron seized the moment before Seraphina returned and approached Wilson.

"Mr. Rockwell?"

Wilson raised an eyebrow, looking at the two unfamiliar men with a calm nod.

"Mr. Rockwell, I'm Lucius Brown from Brown Group, and this is Aron Reynot from Reynot Group. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Lucius couldn't shake the feeling that while Wilson maintained a polite and courteous smile, there was something about him that was too similar to Orion.

Orion's aura was more intense and obvious, whereas Wilson's seemed to be deliberately hidden.

Lucius instinctively felt wary but reminded himself that Orion was on the verge of losing his mind due to his feelings. As his brother, he had to lend a hand. "Nice to meet you

both."

Lucius took a seat unceremoniously, his tone pretending curiosity. "If I'm not mistaken, the person sitting here earlier was Ms. Seraphina Cross?"

Wilson's gaze deepened as he smiled faintly and nodded.

Lucius couldn't hold back his eagerness. "Ms. Cross seems to be quite close to you. Well, she's close to everyone, isn't she? She is close to Hansen, Albert, and even some celebrities from the entertainment industry. dded in agreement. He echoed. "Yeah. she and Hansen are definitely not simple."
