Seraphina froze momentarily and let out a cold chuckle.

Tve been married to you for three years, and your receptionist won't even let me through the front door. Do you really think anyone would believe your words except for a naive teenage girl?"
Her words lacked any trace of emotion; instead, she found his remarks utterly ridiculous.
The most ridiculous part? None of them even knew her, but everyone remembered to flatter Jessica.
Jessica had repeatedly strutted in front of her, mocking her. That woman had been adding insult to injury and humiliating her.
Wasn't that happened because Orion indulged Jessica?
He allowed it because she simply didn't matter to him.
Every trivial moment from the past reminded her that staying away from Orion was the only way to
SURVIVE.
Orion remained silent for a long time. Orion's gaze was heavy with pain. His heart felt tightly bound by invisible strings, making breathing difficult.
When Seraphina was married to him, she never received the respect she deserved.
Every time he thought about it, it made him feel suffocated.
Now, Seraphina didn't care anymore. She knew that those three years were nothing more than a time when she had foolishly deceived herself, recklessly charging forward with no regard for the outcome. Now, it was all in the past, like smoke disappearing into the wind.
Seraphina!"
Orion's eyes darkened as he stared at her. His gaze was filled with frustration. The way she spoke so indifferently made it difficult for him to breathe.
His hand tightened into a fist. He forced out the words with difficulty. "That won't happen again."
Orion vowed he would put her first, protect her, and never be careless with her again.
Seraphina simply similed lightly and showed no reaction
There was no next time for them
He no longer held a place in her eyes.
Scraplana picked up her cup and took a sip of coffee
"Let's get to the point, she said
After all, the reason she came here wasn't to listen to his crap.

He smiled slightly before speaking. "Andrew is so confident because he's connected."
Orion looked up at Seraphina and explained, "That man is the butler of Wilson, Hugo Peay."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "The butler?"
Finished
Orion nodded and revealed, "Hugo's just a butler, but Wilson trusts him immensely. Their relationship is something like Batman and Alfred-sometimes just a few words from this man could influence Wilson's decisions." Orion smiled as he continued, "Hugo handles matters for Wilson in Eldoria and always meets with Andrew because Andrew's mother was Hugo's foster mother.
Seraphina looked up in shock. It turned out that they had a strong connection.
No wonder Andrew was bold enough to bet everything to give his son this opportunity.
Wilson practically guaranteed this partnership if Hugo held such importance.
She took a deep breath. Seraphina realized how dangerous her situation had become. Just then, the food arrived. Orion's tone relaxed.
"Let's eat."
Seraphina glanced at the beautifully presented dishes but didn't have much of an appetite.
Orion used the serving spoon to place food on her plate, but Seraphina pushed her utensils back. "I can serve myself, thanks."
Orion paused for a moment, his hand hovering in midair, before he gently placed the spoon down.
"Okay."
Although she wasn't very hungry, she hadn't eaten anything all day, so she ended up eating more than she expected. Orion, on the other hand, didn't eat much. Instead, he spent the whole time watching her eat.
He sat there and gazed at Seraphina's gentle expression so beautiful that he couldn't bear to disrupt the
moment.
Even he didn't understand why he had shared all these secrets with Seraphina-was it just to have one meal with her?
Such a humbling act, just to make her happy?
Still, it's worth it.
Orion knew why he had become like this. Since he couldn't change it, he had no choice but to accept himself and fall deeper, step by step. Outside, it had started to rain lightly at some point.

The raindrops splashed into the decorative pool, creating ripples as the fish inside joyfully leaped in and
out of the water.
Once she had almost finished eating, Orion stood up.
"I'll take you home."
Seraphina stopped him. She said, "You don't have to waste your time on me."
Her rejection was clear.
For her, there was no chance of things moving forward
Orion stood tall in his dark gray trench coat. His figure was proud and elegant.
He spoke lightly, as if it didn't matter.
"So what if it's a waste? I don't mind."
Even though there was a mountain of things waiting for him to handle, he was still here, patiently eating and sharing secrets with her.
Orion knew he must have been completely bewitched.
