Chapter 52 - 52: Punishment I
"Hmpft! Perhaps the real reason that you fully support me is because you think that I will be more occupied, and you will have more time to spend with that… That Isabel when I'm not around" Serena taunted After their peaceful reunion earlier, she still felt dissatisfied to end it at that
Charlton laughed, a part of hi jealous After they left the classrooo back to his dorreed After the feeling of euphoria and adrenaline of being forgiven passed, he just felt all the accuue assault him
So now, here they are in the private et to rehearse The wedding which was on Sunday was fast approaching Aside fro as part of the student council on Saturday
"What are you laughing at? You think I'm funny?" Serena a little annoyed asked Why is it that Charlton was not acting jealous at all? Now, she's the one acting like a real teenage girl nagging her boyfriend Her expectations versus reality orlds apart!
Charlton amused by hervery cute"
"What cute? And why are you taking liberties with me? You haven't even explained why you were there that tirily exclaimed as she pushed hier again and didn't want anywhat happened that day
"So, it's that Kylo You should not listen to him It was a foul move for him to threaten you with our relationshi+p"
"Yes, I already warned hiain But I do not want to blame him too much, because ultimately, I was also at fault, and whatever he did, was no excuse for ive me I won't promise you never, but I will do my best to not cause you any hurt or pain in the future" Charlton sincerely apologized as he held her hands
Serena feeling that she should not let the poor boy suffer any longer nodded her head "I forgive you… but just so you know, if you were to coain, then you better prepare yourself I can be very vengeful you know?"
"I rather you be vengeful, just… don't leave me okay?"
"Hirlfriend is That you are so lucky that she even gives you the time of her day" Serena said as she playfully mocked him
Charlton smiled at Serena He really likes this part of her, where she is just being a little arrogant and teasing him This is one side she only ever shows to him In front of the others, she isat? You should keep in mind to never even look at another woman, because if you do, ha! Then I won't hesitate to leave you behind! There's a lot of men who can only ever wish to have me in their lives!"
"Never" Charlton finally answered
"Never what?"
"I hope you won't think that what I'e boy would say But Serena, I love you I don't think I will ever love another woman as much as I love you So never think for even one second that I will look at another the way I look at you I know just how lucky I a all masculine pride any other man may have
Serena was a little overwhelmed by his confession but as sappy as it was, she was also overfloith immense joy and happiness Her heart throbbed and she just unconsciously moved to kiss him
"I love you too So, you better make true of those words"
"That, I can promise" Charlton replied as he s
"What's this?" Serena asked as Charlton handed her a velvet box
"Open it"
When Serena opened it, she instantly recognized the necklace which she looked at when she was at Tiffany's This necklace was supposed to be Geoffrey's gift to Emily as a symbol of his love It was one of a kind and well it costs a lot But what truly astounded her was the fact that Charlton was gifting it to her now When did he even buy it?
Charlton saw Serena's confused look as she stared at the necklace, then at him
"I know you don't believe me when I said that I have alanted to kiss you That you think that it was you who first made all the moves to make me fall in love But I want to confess, I believe that I have loved you since the first tie to tell you I admit that I was also afraid of the consequences But when I sa fascinated you looked at that, I felt coht I would have the opportunity to give it to you"
'Why is he always saying the right words?' Serena thought as she felt a little sour How can she not love hi that he was nothing but a good first target
