Divorce? No Regrets! She Becomes the Elite's Beloved Wife-Chapter 131: She’ll Change Her Mind, Won’t She?

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: She’ll Change Her Mind, Won’t She?

Serena Sinclair arrived at KFC after work, pushed the door open, and immediately saw Miles Lockwood’s face, radiant like a cheerful sunflower.

Alongside him was a suitcase by the table. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Instinctively, she glanced at Ms. Warren, thinking she had been dismissed.

Ms. Warren said, "Sir mentioned that the young master hasn’t seen you in a long time, and he wants him to spend this weekend with you."

So, the suitcase wasn’t Ms. Warren’s.

It belonged to Miles.

Serena looked at Miles again, his eyes were filled with anxious hope and expectation.

Serena sat down smiling, rubbing his head, "Of course you can."

Ms. Warren left, and Serena ordered food.

The mother and son chatted while having dinner.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Hawthorne received a message from Serena Sinclair.

[Wyatt, Miles is spending the weekend at my place! For the next two days, I’m leaving 2S in your care!]

[Please, please!]

Ha.

When there’s something needed, it’s Wyatt.

When there’s nothing, it’s President Hawthorne.

He figured her out!

Also, what’s up with that bastard Adrian Lockwood?

Isn’t it common knowledge that a proper ex should act as if they’re dead?

He wanted to trouble Adrian Lockwood, but it was already the weekend and the stock market was closed.

In the underground parking of Hawthorne Tower, Wyatt turned his phone, squinting his eyes.

It’s just a kid.

Acting as if nobody else has one!

He replied with [Okay].

Wyatt dialed a number straight away.

Then, started the car and drove back to the apartment with a throttle.

The Lockwood Villa.

Chloe Lynch paced back and forth in front of the living room’s French window, her heart anxious.

The night before, Adrian Lockwood didn’t return all night, causing her uneasiness.

After making a circle of calls, Adrian wasn’t with any of them.

Her mind filled with images of Adrian dining under candlelight, spending the night in a seaside hotel, or moments of passionate intimacy with enchanting women.

Then came the call made from Miles’s phone watch.

Even though she hadn’t figured out Adrian’s whereabouts last night, she knew Miles would be spending the weekend with Serena.

Meaning, this weekend would be a private world for her and Adrian.

No need to fend off Beatrice Sutton’s questioning, or Zoe Lockwood’s taunts.

No need to pretend to be the gentle, virtuous stepmother at home.

This weekend, from the moment Adrian returned home, she would be the only one around him, the only one he saw.

Heaven helps her!

The distant sound of a throttle approaches, a Mercedes parked outside the villa.

Chloe’s gaze was bright as she greeted him, "Honey..."

"Tired? I’ve already made dinner..."

She linked arms with Adrian, heading to the dining area, noticing he was wearing different clothes, not the shirt and trousers when he left yesterday morning.

Even his coat carried a faint scent of fresh gardenia.

In Chloe’s expression flashed surprise and suspicion.

"Honey, where were you last night? Did you get drunk? I called several times and you didn’t answer."

Offering him food, Chloe pouted with grievance, "Last night Miles cried out for dad. It took a long time to console him."

"Mhm."

Adrian nodded.

Last night he was sulking, toying with himself and Serena Sinclair.

Wondering where she went, with whom, and what could have kept her away till so late.

But as the night passed.

Seeing Serena’s face, fair and blushing, and those eyes full of allure, and the suggestive marks on her skin.

Adrian was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

Yet all these emotions were silenced by her single word, "love affair".

All day long, he stayed at the company.

But Adrian’s thoughts kept drifting back to several years ago, to the days of his passionate romance with Serena.

Even now, he clearly remembers the day he first met Serena—the girl as cool and ethereal as ice saying "I don’t like you" and walking away, her slender back against a backdrop of dazzling sunset.

Recalling his intense studying, how his grades steadily rose, and her gradually softening gaze.

And the time he confessed again, her dismissive reply, "if you get into Aethelgard University, I’ll consider it seriously."

She thought she hid her emotions well.

But he could see through them.

Up until then, she hadn’t felt a bit of affection for him.

It was only because Selene Summers worked as help at The Lockwoods, she did not want to offend him, that’s all.

What truly caught her eye was when he finally got into Aethelgard University, standing on the same starting line as her.

He used Aethelgard to prove his capabilities and his attitude.

Then, his confession succeeded justifiably.

Back then, they were so good together, with her loving him so deeply.

But he let her slip away!

With the taste of wax, Adrian suddenly imagined another arrogant and smug face spring before him.

Inside the meeting room of Old Master Rivera’s garden, Wyatt casually spoke, "You all shall witness the largest technology museum cluster in Auranos."

In that moment, Wyatt was absolutely proud.

Everyone thought he was gloating because Hawthorne Corporation had secured that piece of land.

Only he knew that Wyatt was showing off, flaunting that he had Serena Sinclair by his side.

The idea for the technology museums was Serena’s.

And at Hawthorne Corp, she was taking the first step in realizing her dream.

"Honey, honey?"

Adrian snapped out of his daze, seeing Chloe looking at him with grievance, "What’s wrong? You seem absent-minded."

Adrian shook his head, "Nothing."

In Chloe’s mind, that familiar sense of unease arose spontaneously.

In the past while working beside him, she had plenty of topics to chat about, discussing daily business, gossip about a senior executive, or even Miles’s little antics.

But ever since she left the company, it seemed that there’s less and less to talk about.

As for work, she didn’t participate, not knowing where to begin.

Regarding life, her days were spent in beauty treatments or shopping, things he surely wouldn’t care for.

Even Miles.

Before, every little thing he did seemed mischievous and cute, but within only two short months, Chloe was on the verge of losing it.

Especially during those midnight wake-ups, when he cried loudly, "I want mommy," Chloe wished she could swiftly send him to outer space.

Recalling his excitement this morning upon learning he could spend the weekend at Serena’s, hanging up the phone and enthusiastically running around the house.

Chloe cautiously asked, "Honey, do you think Serena wants to take Miles away from us?"

Take away?

Adrian was taken aback.

Serena was the child’s mother.

And he was the father.

The custody of the child was in his hands, if Serena truly decided to reclaim custody, it would inevitably involve entanglement with him.

He’s already regretting it.

It’s only that she’s always giving him the cold shoulder, unable to see his change.

What if during the process of fighting for custody, she sees his transformation?

Wyatt would not be a suitable match.

Moreover, he absolutely wouldn’t marry her!

When she uncovers Wyatt’s true colors.

Once she sees his genuine repentance.

Then she... will reconsider, right?

Definitely will!

Envisioning Serena’s smiling tenderness, calling him "husband" softly.

His mind transported to the happy imagery of a loving family outing.

Adrian gazed at Chloe, "An apartment complex emerged in the East City. Tomorrow morning, I’ll take you to see it."

???

Has he finally decided to marry her?

That new complex, is it meant as pre-marital property?

Or, is it a marriage home for their blissful future?

"...Okay!"

Chloe was stunned for a good while before reacting, immediately grinning broadly, "Honey, that’s so wonderful of you!"

In the apartment’s living room, Miles had changed his shoes and rushed towards the cat’s play area.

No cats in the bed.

No cats under the sofa either.

"Mom, where’s the cat?"

Thinking the cat disliked him and hid, Miles’s face showed grievance, "Mom, I promise I won’t bully the cat anymore!"

"Mom believes you! But..."

Ding-dong!

Serena’s words were cut short.

The doorbell rang.
