Chapter 329 - 326: Ligetis Ball VIII (2/2)

"Would you kiss it better?" he asked as he looked her in the eye, as if begging for her attention

Serena pulled her hand away "Stop fooling around"

Geoffrey gave her an innocent smile then he leaned back on his seat "I wonder, what could Charlton be doing there earlier? He was still dancing with Lady Annalys when I left the ball" He asked out loud

Serena felt her heart thump Any other ti about her and Charlton However, currently, there's the possibility that she's pregnant Also, they were already very near their goal Just a few months more How could she afford to let Geoffrey find out now?

"Perhaps the two of them were also in the area?" she tried

Geoffrey chuckled "Perhaps Charlton is a known rake When ere growing up, you have no idea how many maidenheads he has taken So, I won't be surprised if he's seeing her behind everyone's back I just hope Duke Cross won't find out"

Serena just smiled with Geoffrey's response She knew about Charlton's past, so it's not a surprise to her However, she could not stop the seed of doubt in her chest What if Charlton was only prolonging the tiirls behind her back? No It's not possible, Charlton was in the labyrinth because he knew she was there How could she ever doubt him with just some words Geoffrey said?

Geoffrey looked at Serena's reaction to his words He could not read herhis words He s It was indeed painful That traitorous snake really threw in the punch He would get back at him later when all his plans were set inwith theates of the Maxwell ducal mansion and it stopped in front of the porch The driver opened the door and Geoffrey stepped out first

He offered his outstretched palhted

"Thank you, Geoffrey for tonight" Serena said

Geoffrey shook his head "Won't you invite me in? It's still a little early Please help me treat my wound?" he asked like a kid

"I'm not a physician nor a nurse… I…"

"Surely, you kno to apply first aid kit, Serena" Geoffrey said, his voice sweet and teasing

Serena sighed Considering how nice and considerate he has been to her, and it was kinda her fault that Charlton punched him, she relented
