Chapter 33
“Hedid showim,” I said as I took off my coat. Thinking about his expression earlier only made me feel disgusted.
“What did he say Lila, the foodie, actually passed her eating and looked up eagerly.
“It’s rare for something to distract you from your food.” I chuckled.
Hering that Lila immediately continued eating. She looked at me and said, “Hurry up and spill it. You’re killing me with all the suspense.”
“He apologized. He asked me to forghee him,” I said as Lebanged into my pajamas.
“So, you torgave him? Lila looked utterly shocked.
“Of course not.” I sighed helplessly. “But there’s no way Kevin will quit his job. We’ll keep bumping into each other, so I just said I wouldn’t be hostile toward him.”
At that moment, my phone rang. I picked it up to see an unfamiliar number. With a slight frown, I pressed the answer button,
Hello?
“Serena, it’s me.” Julian’s voice came through the other end. My first instinct was to hang up.
“Don’t hang up just yet Serena, Thave something I want to say to you,” Julian said in a hurry.
When Lis heard has voice, she immediately put her food down. She looked like she was ready to go to war as she walked toward me. She probably wanted nothing more than to
I was amused by Lila’s actions, so my mood lightened a little. What is it?”
My good mood must have been evident in my voice because Julian’s tone relaxed as well. “Let’s grab a meal together.”
These on my face vanished instantly. Julian really would ask for a mile as long as you gave him an inch.
“That’s unnecessary. Do you think I’m worthy of dining with the great Mr. Blake?” I said in a cold tone
In all the years I’d been with Julian, he had never treated me to a meal before. He rarely even bought me any snacks.
It seemed like be realized the same thing because he coughed awkwardly. ‘I’m not the one paying for the meal, Serena Just consider it as you making an appearance.” Trassed an eyebrow
Beside me, Lila was frantically gesturing for me to refuse Finally, she couldn’t hold back anymore and said in a low voice, “Serena, you can’t go. It’s definitely some plot fullan and Elena cooked up to mess with you. You can’t fall for it.”
Lila was all flustered. She was on the verge of grabbing the phone and hanging up herself.
“Illa, why are you saying something so hurtful? Julian heard what Lila said and started to feel displeased.
Lia had just been about to get angry when I sad unhappily, “Lila’s just saying what I’m thinking. Jullan, you’ve never treated me to a single meal when we were together. But you’re trying to invite me out now that we’ve broken up? Don’t you think that’s laughable?”
Julien was momentarily speechless. His earlier arrogance disappeared, and his tone softened as he said, “Serena, I thought that you’d at least understand me after all that time we were together. Even if you don’t like the anymore, I’d never do anything to harm you ”
1 scotted at him “Understand you? What’s there to understand about you?”
Julian was constantly being rendered speechless. He was clearly struggling to hold himself together when I heard another voice.
