“I prefer a quiet environment. Someone will come to clean up the house every two days,” Dashiell

loosened his tie and said. “I’m going to take a shower. You can take a rest first. There’s an empty

cloakroom inside, and you can put everything in it.” After saying that, Dashiell entered the room.

Seraphina felt relieved when she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She needed

some time to adjust to this unfamiliar environment.

The villa was spa c ious, with three floors, and the top floor seemed to be an attic. It wasn’t very tall but

covered a large area.

The whole interior decoration had a cool color scheme, with simple and clean lines, just like Dashiell

himself, who was cold and capable.

Seraphina entered the villa with her bag and was stunned by the size of the walk-in closet. It was large

enough to be used as a small bedroom. Apart from two wardrobes. filled with men’s clothes, the rest of

the space was empty.

Seraphina didn’t have much luggage. She hung her clothes one by one and then took out a small bag

containing important documents.

Her ID card, diplomas, and other documents were all in there. But when Seraphina opened the bag,

she realized that the marriage license she had received yesterday was missing.

Seraphina thought, ‘Dashiell must have taken the marriage license and its copy. Where did he put

them? I’ll have to ask him about it later.’

Just then, her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Julian calling.

Recently, Julian had been calling Seraphina more frequently than ever before.

Seraphina reluctantly answered the call and said lazily, “Hello?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Seraphina, where are you?” Julian asked.

Seraphina thought, ‘He sounds like an interrogator. Does he still think I’m that obedient?’

“Since when do you care so much about my whereabouts, Mr. Brown?” Seraphina replied sarcastically,

then placed the bag with her documents in the drawer.

Julian was provoked by Seraphina’s tone. “Seraphina, can’t you speak nicer?”

“I believe I’ve been speaking quite nicely. If you don’t think so, you can find someone else to talk to who

can be nice.”

Seraphina left the walk-in closet while still on the phone and happened to see Dashiell, who had just

finished showering.

Dashiell’s hair was still wet, and he was only wearing a large white bath towel around his waist. The

shape of his upper b*dy was perfect. He casually glanced at Seraphina and noticed she was on the

phone. Without saying anything, he approached her.

Upon seeing Dashiell getting closer, Seraphina’s breathing slowed down, and she almost forgot to

breathe.

Julian was still shouting on the phone, “What are you talking about? I’ve explained it to you at the

company. Did you meet the people from Aroma Delight again? Don’t tell me you still believe their lies.

Seraphina, don’t be foolish. They’re trying to create discord between us! We’ve been together for so

many years. We should know each other well. Don’t you know how good I am to you? Don’t be

childish. There’s nothing between Vivian and me. Ouch… Stop overthinking. If you have time, come to

the company

now.”

There seemed to be a faint sound of pain. Although Julian quickly concealed it, Seraphina still heard it.

Seraphina thought, ‘Looks like Vivian is still with him now, and she must be very angry with what Julian

said. Julian is truly unbelievable. How can he flirt with Vivian while saying sweet words to me? It’s truly

disgusting.

Seraphina wasn’t in the mood to interact with Julian and didn’t have time for it. She was completely

captivated by the man in front of her.

Dashiell stood in front of Seraphina. They were so close that she could almost count the droplets on his

chest.

Dashiell’s tanned skin and strong muscles made Seraphina almost want to reach out

and touch him.

Seraphina swallowed subconsciously.

“Seraphina, Seraphina?”

Julian didn’t hear any response, so he suspected that Seraphina had hung up the phone and continued

calling her name.

Meanwhile, Seraphina widened her eyes and watched as Dashiell’s tall figure leaned towards her. His

handsome face was getting closer and closer.

Seraphina held her breath, and then….

Just as their lips were about to meet, Dashiell suddenly turned aside and k*ssed Seraphina’s cheek

near her ear. Then he straightened up and went straight into the walk-in closet.

With a clatter, Seraphina’s phone slipped from her hand and rolled on the carpet.

Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, otherwise the phone would have been damaged.

Poor Julian was still waiting for Seraphina’s response on the other end of the phone, so he was

shocked by the sound. Then he quickly put away the phone.

After feeling better, Julian immediately shouted, “Seraphina! What the hell are you doing? Are you

listening to me at all?”

Seraphina squatted down and picked up her phone. She calmly wiped her phone, ensuring it wasn’t

damaged. Then she said, “Mr. Brown, please get straight to the point.”

“You…”

Julian suppressed his anger and told himself to endure Seraphina’s temperament until everything was

resolved.

“Well, the press conference I mentioned earlier is scheduled for tonight. Come to the company and

we’ll go together. We need to coordinate our statements and try to get this incident over quickly to

minimize the negative impact on the company.”

Seraphina sneered. “And what about the negative impact on me?”

Julian remained silent for a moment before softly saying, “Sera, you know how much this incident has

affected our company. You and I have put so much effort into Prosperian Company. You don’t want

anything to happen to it, do you? Listen to me. Just bear with it this time. After this incident, our

company will become even more famous and influential, reaching new heights. And then we can get

married, alright?”

Seraphina thought, ‘Get married? Ha! The same excuse once again. Julian always uses it to coax me.

But I don’t care about it anymore!’

“Alright, then.” Seraphina paused for a while as if she had been persuaded. “You’re right. I have put a

lot of effort into the company, and I don’t want anything to go wrong with

it.”

Seraphina thought, ‘But I can also take back my efforts! If I can build it up little by little, I can also tear it

down.’

Upon hearing that, Julian breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then come to the

company now. I’ll be waiting for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Seraphina stood up and saw that Dashiell had changed into his nightwear

and was ready to go to bed.

“I’m going out.” Seraphina said bluntly. “The press conference is scheduled for tonight.”

With Dashiell’s abilities and power, he would find out whether Seraphina told him or not, so it was

better to be honest with him.

“No rush. It’s still early. Rest for a while first,” Dashiell said casually and then slowly approached

Seraphina. “I’ve adjusted the water temperature, and all the items. you are prepared. During this critical

time, you need to rest well to have enough energy.”
