64 I canst be your mistress! (1/2)

”Eh? Liam?!” surprised by Liam's attendance. According to her previous life, Liam never visited her nor contacted her after she got discharged from their hospital but why is he here in this lifetime?

”Seffy… welcome back. Chairman Yue, I better get going.” turning his attention back to Sebastian Yue, Liam excused himself as he bowed respectively but old man Yue halted him.

”Young Jin, it's almost dinner time. Will you accompany this old man to supper?” Sebastian Yue invited him to dinner. Seraphina squinted her eyes at the mischievous smile on her grandfather.

[at the dining area]

Sebastian Yue was beaming with good vibes which makes her skeptical at her grandfather's action. He accommodated Liam Jin graciously. Seraphina stayed silent as she plays her food listening bored about their discussion.

”How was Old man Jin?” Sebastian Yue buzz referring to Liam's grandfather.

”He is doing great, sir” Liam's amiable tone courteously answered.

”That old man… how lucky, he got to have a reliable son like your father and a genius grandson.” the old man humored. Liam chuckled lightly. His laugh and every action ooze with elegance as he takes a quick glance at Seraphina's dull expression.

”Chairman Yue, but you got Sera on your side… that is incomparable.” he chanted. At the same time, Seraphina turned her head towards her grandfather, displeased.

”Gramps, how could you sell me out. I am more reliable than my chaperons, you see.” she grumpily commented on the side.

[On their quarters, Ace and Riggs felt a cold shiver run down their spine as if someone was bad mouthing them.

”Damn, what was that?” Riggs murmurs.]

”Right,” the full of vigor old man Yue laughed at Liam's words which made his expression softens approvingly.

As the dinner ends, Sebastian Yue requested her to send Liam's off which she agreed. They silently made their way to the Yue's mansion driveway where his car was parked.

Reaching his car, Liam turned to see her but Seraphina was deep in her thoughts that she almost knocked her head to his chest. Fortunately, her keen body was aware of what was happening to her surrounding and automatically stopped one step away from him. Looking up, Liam's tender gaze met hers.

”Sera… I'm glad that you're doing fine.”

”Me too, I'm glad I'm doing ok. Haha.” her lips twitch at the awkward laugh she let out. Although she was intrigued of why in this lifetime, Liam would show up again in their manor.

”I'll be staying here for good.” he informed her unfazed at the awkward answer she blurted out.

”Is that so? Did you miss this goddess that much?” She teased him as she flips her hair. Liam chuckle at her action and words. How could he not miss this tease?

”Hmm.” his lips curled upward as he nods his head agreeing compassionately. Seraphina simultaneously blinks stupefied at the noble prince in front of her.

”Eh? Liam…” she couldn't find the right words to his bold affection.

”Hmm?”

”I can't be your mistress.” she pinched her brows as she spoke in a matter of factly tone. Witnessing another absurd reasoning from her made him laughed gracefully once again. He pats her head lovingly as he spoke,

”No, Sera… I broke my engagement. You were right, I shouldn't tied myself in a loveless marriage.” he conceded.

”Ohh…” not knowing how to answer his sudden news.

”I -- Sera… I wanted to chase someone I like.” he confessed.

”That's great! Good job doctor!” giving him a thumbs up as if supporting his decision.

”I liked her for almost a decade now. I thought if I let fate decide for us, we'll be together eventually but I realize I should do something for us to work as well. I already let many chances slipped by but after seeing her again, all these years, my heart only belongs to her.” professing his love sincerely.

”Woah, Liam how can you be so naive?” she blatantly commented as she giggles not knowing his words are directly aiming at her.
