Chapter 52
Regrets
Didn't this man silently allow others to mistreat her?
Every time they met, it was strictly business. For him, was always about Jessica. She was going crazy being tormented by that name.
She suddenly remembered their early days of marriage Seraphina didn't understand why Orion was so cold to her. She truly tried to be a good wife, cooking deals and waiting for him to come home every day, too scared to call him for fear of disturbing his work. He didn't come home for days. She couldn't help but test him, asking if he wanted to try the dishes she made. Her messages went unanswered.

Countless attempts to reach out-each one met with rejection-left her feeling humiliated and exhausted.
Eventually, she got used to the neglect. She realised the house was hers alone, without a husband.
This marriage was just a transaction for both of them!
Now, she was finally free.
And he wanted an answer?
If he had ever treated her like a wife, would his family and friends dare to openly mock her for having wishful thinking about marrying him?
Among those who humiliated her, wasn't he the worst?
Her words, like needles piercing Orion's heart, stung him deeply. He frowned and asked, "You had plenty of chances to tell me."
Was it her fault?
Seraphina laughed coldly,
She didn't care anymore, and she no longer needed anyone to defend her. Seraphina had endured it in the past because she loved Orion. She couldn't endure it because she no longer loved him.
"Mr. Dros, you have only ever had eyes for Jessica. There was no room for anyone else. You even sacrificed your marriage for her. I admire that. But what's the point of talking about it now?" "Actually, Jessica... "Orion frowned and wanted to explain, but Seraphina cut him off coldly.
"That's enough! Just mentioning her name makes me sick. Let's pretend we don't know each other from
now on."
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Her cheerful mood was ruined. Seraphina stepped outside, her expression slightly gloomy. She saw Sivir waiting for her after he had finished his business.
Having heard about her argument with Hannah, Sivir didn't look pleased. He relaxed a bit when he saw her approaching.

Seraphina smiled and maile her way over She clung to Sivir's arm playfully and asked. "Are we done? Can we leave early? Im exhausted."
Sien gently pinched her nose and said. "If you're tired, let's go. Don't worry about anyone else."
Seraphina squinted and smiled. The world was still a good place with her brother around. Should we say goodbye?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
It's fine. I've already told them." Sivit patted her head and said, "Let's go. The driver is waiting outside." She nodded and took his arm as they walked out together. The two were a striking pair that drew all eyes.
As soon as they stepped outside, Hansen caught up to them. He asked, "Mr. Cross, do you mind if I join
Seraphina glanced at Sivir, whose expression remained cold. He was always reserved and serious with outsiders, Sivir answered, "Yes, I do mind. We're not going the same way." Hansen was speechless.
Seraphina laughed and waved at him. "Goodbye, little Colombo."
Hansen didn't dare to upset Sivir, so he couldn't insist. He watched the two get into the car. The moment the door closed, Hansen rushed forward and opened the car door on Seraphina's side. "What are you doing?" Seraphina was startled.
Many people who chatted near the entrance noticed this. With Sivir's status, it was impossible to keep a low profile.
Hansen knelt down. He carefully lifted Seraphina's dress from where it was caught in the door and placed it inside the car. He looked up at her with a cheerful smile and said, "There, all set. You can go now."
It turned out her dress had been caught in the door, and he had gone to free it. To onlookers, his actions seemed incredibly humble.
On the balcony of the ballroom upstairs, Lucius watched the scene unfold and chuckled. He turned to Orion and said, "Hansen really knows how to win over a woman. He even had the nerve to make a move in front of Sivir." He assumed there might be some romantic relationship between Sivir and Seraphina.
Orion's eyes were cold, and he suggested, "Let's go. Give a call to some of the guys and have a drink."
