After finishing their meal, Orion insisted on driving them home. Seraphina refused, but he picked up little Dani over his shoulder and walked away.

Dani was startled, realizing he was being treated like a mere accessory. Frustrated, he kicked and squirmed in Orion's grasp. With a sigh of resignation, Seraphina followed.

Just as they were about to leave, Orion suddenly grasped her wrist. "Should we go together to the party at the Browns' tomorrow?" Seraphina frowned. She had also received an invitation from the Browns but had no idea why they were hosting a party.

Still, she knew that every such gathering was a social affair, and it was something one simply had to attend.

"Nah. I'll go with someone else," she replied, her tone light.

For a brief moment, a shadow flickered across Orion's eyes, but then he forced a smile, his voice turning cold.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night. Until then, I won't allow any man to come near you."

His words dripped with an unmistakable intensity.

Seraphina met his gaze with an expressionless face, a cold smile playing on her lips, completely unfazed.

Orion's eyes darkened as he turned to get into the car.

Seraphina called out, "What kind of party is Lucius hosting? It sounds so mysterious."

Orion looked back with a smirk. "It's to celebrate Lucius's remarriage to his ex-wife!"

Seraphina felt a knot form in her stomach.

Wait, what? Suddenly, she didn't feel like going.

At Cross Mansion, Seraphina finished freshening up and began checking stocks in her study.

Dani was happily playing his video games downstairs.

Someone pushed the door open. Without a word, Seraphina knew it was Justin.

He held a small box in his hands.

"Hey, Seraphina, Are you busy?" He asked with a grin.

"Duh," she shot back.

Justin chuckled and placed the box in front of her.

"Tomorrow, can you give this to her?"

"To whom?"

Seraphina asked curiously as she opened the box.

Inside lay a tea-dropped crystal, quietly resting as if it had regained a sense of purpose.

Justin seemed to have mended the shattered pieces from before. Seraphina couldn't believe Justin had actually done it.

Upon closer inspection, she found a minor flaw that was easy to overlook.

It was rare for Justin to put so much effort into something.

She looked up at him and said, "Justin, just give it to her yourself. Sarah would be thrilled."

Justin sighed a little. He said, "She might not want to see me."

Without hesitation, Seraphina pushed the box back toward him. She refused, "No way! Sarah will be happy. If you deliver it in person, she'll be even more delighted." This was a wonderful opportunity. Seraphina wasn't about to let it slip away.

After a moment of hesitation, Justin thought about it. "Tomorrow's the Browns' party, right? Sarah should be going too. You should come with me."

That way, she wouldn't have to deal with that obnoxious jerk, Orion.

The two reached an agreement and happily retreated to their rooms for the night.

The next day, after finishing a meeting at work, Thomas asked Seraphina if she needed a designer to prepare a gown for the evening party.

Seraphina suddenly remembered how peculiar Lucius's party was.

Remarriage?

When did Lucius get divorced? I had never heard of that.

Most of these privileged families' marriages involved entanglements with benefits. If the announcement was made public, it could potentially lead to stock fluctuations. Many families would keep quiet about their divorces despite public speculation. Not everyone had the courage to cut ties cleanly like Seraphina and Orion, who were willing to face the consequences of their divorce.

"Ms. Cross, do you need an assistant tonight?" Thomas interrupted her thoughts.

"No, I'll attend with Justin. As for my outfit, something simple will do," Seraphina replied.

She had no intention of drawing attention to herself at someone else's remarried celebration. Keeping a low profile was the way to go. Thomas nodded and exited the office.

As evening approached Orion arrived at Cross Groun in a flashy car

Clearly, he wanted everyone to know he was there to pick up Seraphina.

He stood downstairs, drawing many curious gazes. Whispers about Orion and Seraphina's relationship circulated through the office.

As employees left for the day, they exchanged knowing glances. The discussions erupted into a heated debate as they walked past him.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Do you think Mr. Dros really wants to get back together with Ms. Cross?"

"It's not like he can achieve that with his thoughts alone! Ms. Cross is single, and there have been several men waiting outside like Mr. Dros-didn't they all get sent away yesterday?" Orion's earlier buoyancy faltered. He trembled a little; his expression truned cold.

Several?
