Chapter 320 - 317: While She Was Sleeping VII (1/2)

Geoffrey wanted to scoff. Apparently, the purpose of princess Georgina's visit was not only rekindling fond memories with his father, but also to prepare him on what Charlton would be requesting when he gets the medal of valor.

Really, he has to give it to Charlton. After stabbing him from behind, now he would want to publicly humiliate him by letting everyone know how Serena, his intended for 4 years, who he personally escorted in balls and publicly favored, would choose him over himself.

Did he want to paint himself as the hero who saved the beauty from the villain? Did he want to romanticize his and Serena's betrayal as something justifiable because it was true love?

Geoffrey chuckled sarcastically as he shook his head. So, what does that make him then? Was he the antagonist who was getting in the way of their love? He clenched and unclenched his fist. It was maddening.

If he has any less control of himself, he would have tried to kill his cousin right away. However, aside from the fact that risk of failure at that moment was too high, death was too kind of a mercy for such a traitorous snake as him.

He smirked. Fine. It's also good to let them think and feel like they're succeeding now. Better to lull them with the false sense of security by his seeming ignorance then stab them at the back just like what they did to him.

When he saw the time was already midnight, he prepared to visit Serena again. Though he enjoyed kissing and touching her earlier when he visited, it was not enough. He wanted to fill her and enjoy everything her body has to offer. Besides, he needs to check the external appearance of her apex. He read that some change in its appearance may indicate pregnancy.

Geoffrey looked at his cousin who was currently the one speaking in the house of lords. It was Monday morning, and Charlton was again trying to show everyone his magnificence. He mocked himself for even congratulating and being wholeheartedly happy for him once.

Then, he vividly recalled the moment he told Charlton he loved Serena. It was during their first signing event. Was Charlton laughing at him that time? That he even pushed him to join Serena?

Ah, the trip down memory lane. There were many instances that he has warned his cousin, but yet, all those times, he was already fucking his intended.

Geoffrey clenched and unclenched his fist to calm himself. Although there was a rift between them politically, they were still being civil. To show his rage would only make it obvious that he already knows.

When Charlton finished speaking, he clapped his hands along with the others.

It was Thursday morning, the day before the Ligeti's ball. Serena paced around in her room. She felt so weird. She doesn't feel normal.
