Santhyahsed, “Grandma, you really don’t have to buy so much”
“It’s not too much.” Martha waved her hand, smiling kindly. “I have money, so you don’t need to worry about me.
Serena was momentarily speechless, but warmth timed in her heart. Soon, Martha excitedly pulled Serena into a well–decorated boutique and began picking out clothes. Serena was pushed into the fitting room by her. At Martha’s request, she tried on several outfits
Finally, she stepped out of the fitting room wearing a Tolenese–style dress. Her appearance was striking. The dress‘ ink–wash floral print blended Etolian charm with modern design. It was gentle wet subtly sexy, with a backless design and a flowy halterneck
The sales associate admired her, saying, “Mrs. Spencer, you look absolutely stunning in that dress.”
Martha proudly remarked, “Of course! My granddaughter–in–Law is so beautiful. She looks good in anything”
Serena’s cheeks flushed from their praise, and she shady lowered her game.
Martha took the opportunity to pull out her phone, open the camera app, and aim it at Servi
“Serena, comm. Turn a little to the side so that I can take a photo to remember this moment”
“What?” Though confused, Serena obediently complint
Martha looked at the photo she had just take, nodding satisfactorily before sending it to Harrison
Meanwhile, Harrison sat in his office chair, handling the stack of documents on his desk. The atmosphere was calm and focused.
Across from him, Nathan Fowler was lounging in a relaxed pose, casually swinging in his rocking chair. The creaking sound broke the office’s quiet.
“Harry, my bar opens tonight come by and show your face.”
Harrison remained silent, focusing on his paperwork.
Seeing that he wasn’t responding, Nathan said more sincerely, “Everyone’s going. You can’t miss it, can you?
At that moment, Harrison’s phone on the desk suddenly lit up. He glanced at it briefly before opening the message.
Martha wrote, “I’m out shopping with your wife.”
Attached to the message was a side profile photo of Serena
She was standing gracefully, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, subtly highlighting the delicate curve of her back. Her effortless allure was obvious under the Interplay of light and shadow, evoking his desires.
Harrison stared at the photo, his eyes darkming and his throat involuntarily tightening, stirred by some indescribable emotion
Sitting across from him, Nathan noticed how absorbed he was and snapped his fingers to get his attention
“Harry, what are you looking at? Let me see”
Harrison lifted his eyes and shot Nathan a cold look before quickly turning off his phone screen.
Nathan blinked, clearly puzzled. He couldn’t understand why Harrison’s gaze sermed as if he were ready to kill him. Did he say something wrong?
“Harry_” Nathan tentatively called out
Imbusy tonight, so I won’t be going.” Harrison replied, setting his phone down and continuing to handle the documents.
Nathan clicked his tongue in mid dissatisfaction. “You’re all alone. What could be more important than the opening of my bar?”
After a moment of simce, Harrison casually replied, “I’m married. I’m going home for dinner
“What?” Nathan was stunned. “You You’re married
Harrison gave a slight huen in affirmation
Once Nathan processed the information, his jaw dropped in disbelief. “Harry, you’re actually married!”
Harrison’s face pertained emotionless as he asked calmly, “Can’t I get married?”
“Who’s the worsun with such bad taste to pick you.” Natuan blurted out, almost revealing his thoughts. As soon as the words left his mouth, he was met with Harrison’s key glane. Nathan quickly corrected himself. “No, I mean, who has such good taste to choose the gentle and handsome Harry?
Nathan shrugged and the suggested, “Since everyone’s going tonight, why don’t you bring your wife along so that we can meet her?”
Thinking of Sima, Harrison’s mind brieflyflashed to her shy expression. He immediately rejected the idea. “She’s too timid. She’s not suited for those kinds of places.”
Hearing this, Nathan clicked his tongue and teased, “You’re so protective of her. I don’t think it’s her being timid, i think you’re worried others will start taking an Interest in her if you being her out”
Harrison stopped writing and looked up at Nathan, his cold eyes narrowing as he subtly threatened, “If you’re so free, I can call your dad and have him arrange a blind date for you Nathan immediately backed down.“! I’ll keep quiet”
