Chapter 12
Billionaire’s Sweet Wife
The hotel breakfast spread was lavish, and Dashiell and Seraphina savored it with. contentment as the gentle sunshine shone through the window, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
âIâll go to the company later. I will take you to Aroma Delight by the way,â said Dashiell as he buttered the toast.
Seraphina took a sip of milk and shook her head, saying, âNo, I donât go there until this afternoon. And I thought we agreed not to announce ourâ¦â
Dashiell looked up, and Seraphina swallowed the word ârelationshipâ.
Dashiell handed Seraphina the buttered toast and withdrew his hand, saying, âDonât worry, I wonât go back on my promise. Only the top executive in charge of Aroma Delight knew that you were poached from the headquarters, and it was Brayan who communicated with Aroma Delight. So no one knows thatâ¦â
Dashiell slightly raised his eyes, and he seemed to look at Seraphina casually, but his look made her subconsciously frightened.
âYouâre my person,â Dashiell continued.
Dashiell only paused for a moment, but his words sounded particularly meaningful.
Seraphina felt her heart beat faster, exclaiming inwardly, âDashiell is so good at flirting!
He had a cold face, and his words sounded normal, which made Seraphinaâs heart race when she thought about his words again!
âThatâs good!â Seraphina said.
She stared at the breakfast in front of her. She finished it quickly and said, âIâm full. I should go make a phone call.â
If Seraphina planned to leave Prosperian Company, she had to solve what happened first. At least Emily couldnât be involved in it.
When Seraphina picked up her phone, she found that there were more than 20 missed calls, all of which were from Julian.
Seraphina was slightly stunned and then smiled sarcastically.
Yesterday, in order to keep her calm and not be disturbed, Seraphina muted her phone after getting into the car. She guessed that Julian was looking for her, but she didnât expect him to be so desperate.
It seemed that Julian was really anxious yesterday.
They were with each other for so long, but Julian rarely took the initiative to call Seraphina. Even if he did, it was mostly for work. Now things were different.
When Seraphina was about to return to the home interface, she got another call. It was Julian again.
âWell, itâs very early now, she thought.
Looking at Julianâs name, Seraphina turned around and looked at Dashiell who was sitting there eating breakfast calmly. Dashiell sat there elegantly, like a prince in a fairy tale, noble and unattainable.
After thinking for a while, Seraphina pressed the answer button.
After what happened last night, Seraphinaâs relationship with Julian was over. Since she and Dashiell were married, she did not need to hide anything from Dashiell.
Seraphina was open and fearless.
âHello?â said Seraphina.
âSeraphina, where are you?â Julianâs voice was a little h oa rse because he didnât rest well.
âWhatâs the matter, Mr. Brown?â Seraphina pretended not to understand what was going on.
âSeraphina, itâs no use running away. Do you think you can escape?â Julian said.
Seraphina almost burst out laughing and asked, âRunning away? Why should I run away?â
She thought, âI didnât do anything illegal or unreasonable. Why would I run away?â
âWhy didnât you come back all night if you hadnât run away? Do you know Iâve been waiting for you all night?â After a pause, Julian continued, âI believe there was some misunderstanding about yesterday. I wonât blame you. You should come back and we can have a talk, okay?â
After pondering for a moment, Seraphina smiled and said, âOkay. Iâll see you in the company later.â
After hanging up the phone, Seraphina walked back to the dining table. Dashiell looked at her and asked, âAre you leaving?â
âNo hurry,â Seraphina answered and smiled. Then she sat down again and dragged her chair forward.
Seraphina was in a good mood and her appetite became super-good. She continued to eat slowly and said, âItâs not like Iâm looking for him. Whatâs the hurry?â
How many times had Seraphina been waiting for Julian? Was it finally his turn to wait for her?
âHe wonât let go of what happened yesterday,â said Dashiell.
Julian was a petty man, and he cared about every little profit. Yesterday, he was embarrassed in public, so he would not let it go.
Moreover, Seraphinaâs departure was definitely a fatal blow to his small company.
âNeither will I,â Seraphina added with a smile, looking at Dashiell.
Dashiell smiled.
Julian waited for Seraphina all day.
He didnât even have lunch until it was past three oâclock in the afternoon, and he did not see Seraphina.
When Julian called Seraphina, she still didnât answer it. Julian was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
âJulian, I told you before that you couldnât believe in Seraphina! You just trust her too much!â Vivian said.
At this time, Vivian leaned against the spa cious leather seat, holding a fruit knife and peeling apples.
âLook, last night was a play that she had prepared long ago. The trap was set for us. I knew she was weird yesterday, and you said sheâd be fine. Lookâ¦
âShut up!â Julian was very upset. He wanted to make a phone call, but he thought it was useless. So his tone was angry.
Hearing this, Vivian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes unhappily. âWhy are you mad at me? I didnât betray you or the company. I am the only one who has always been by your side and cared about you!â
said Vivian.
Then she went over and handed Julian the peeled apple. âHere! You have to eat something no matter how angry you are. You have to take care of yourself. If something happens to you, what should I doâ¦â said Vivian.
As she spoke, her big eyes were full of tears as if they would fall down in the blink of an eye.
Looking at Vivianâs pitiful look, Julian felt sorry. He sighed and took the apple. Then he put his hand on her shoulder and said, âIâm not angry with you. Iâm just in a bad mood.
Mon, Sorry. I know youâre caring about me. Donât cry, honey!â
âYouâre just coaxing me, but you still think about Seraphina⦠Vivian moved her b*dy slightly and got closer to him, tempting him.
âMr. Brown, Iâ¦â
The door opened and Seraphina leaned in. Seeing the scene, Seraphina smiled and said, âWell, it seems that Iâm not here at the right time. Then Iâ¦â
âSeraphina!â
Seeing Seraphina, Julian immediately let go of his hands and strode towards Seraphina for fear that she would run away again. âCome back!â Julian shouted.
After waiting all day, Julian finally saw Seraphina. How could he let her run away again?
âWhere have you been? Why didnât you answer the phone? Do you know how worried I was? What have you been up to?â Julian asked.
Julian grabbed Seraphina by the wrist and pulled her in, closing the door behind them.
Seraphinaâs eyes widened. Julian in front of her looked anxious and said caring words as if he was really worried about her, but what was he doing at the last minute?
Seraphina glanced at Vivian from the corner of her eye. Vivian looked sullen, but when Seraphina turned to her, she put on a gentle smile again and said, âThatâs right, Sera, you have no idea how anxious we were. You werenât home all night. Where have you been? How could you be working in Aroma Delight? Did they fool you? You canât be deceived by those people!â
