First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Jealousy

"You take a taxi home yourself!"

Caleb Lockwood stared into her eyes with a calmness bordering on indifference.

Completely different from the way he looked at Claire Shaw.

Even though it was expected, Serena Jennings’ chest still ached.

She abruptly turned, her arm suddenly grabbed from behind by Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb’s grip was quite firm, more than Serena imagined, causing her arm to sting a bit.

Perhaps sensing Serena’s resistance, Caleb eased his grip slightly.

"I just want to remind you, don’t be so harsh to Claire out of jealousy. She can’t take your position as Mrs. Lockwood."

After saying that, Caleb sat in the driver’s seat, leaving Serena to stare into the air, opening her mouth but losing the purpose to explain.

Before the car started, the driver’s window rolled down, and Serena saw Caleb slightly lean out.

"By the way, don’t return to The Jade Pavilion. I won’t be coming back tonight."

Caleb’s deliberate reminder made Serena chuckle in anger.

The Jade Pavilion is the community where she and Caleb have their marital home.

"I wasn’t planning to go there anyway."

Serena intended to take the opportunity to bring up divorce with Caleb again. She hadn’t mentioned it before because Claire was in the car, and she didn’t want her to be too smug. But now seemed like a good chance, and she didn’t want to miss it.

However, Caleb seemed to have already seen through her intentions and blocked her from speaking before she could open her mouth.

"I won’t divorce. You can drop that idea."

The luxury car sped away, leaving the estate in silence.

Serena tried to walk along the main road, but getting a taxi wasn’t easy, even calling a ride-share app resulted in no drivers accepting the request. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Just then, a black Passat stopped in front of her.

"Miss Jennings..."

The driver was Caleb’s assistant, Mr. Miller, to Serena’s surprise.

"I had some business nearby, didn’t expect to see you here. Where are you headed? I can give you a lift!"

Mr. Miller’s words left Serena a bit puzzled, as there was nothing around here besides The Lockwood Estate.

"Thank you for the trouble."

Serena didn’t stand on ceremony with Mr. Miller; catching a lift was certainly better than walking alone down the road unable to find a taxi.

Along the way, Serena spoke no more than necessary, nor did Mr. Miller ask anything, only driving Serena home as directed.

Serena thanked him before getting out of the car.

Mr. Miller didn’t leave immediately but watched Serena’s figure enter the building, waited until the light on the second floor came on, then took out his phone.

"President Lockwood, Miss Jennings has safely returned home."

The voice on the line didn’t reveal Caleb’s emotions, his response was only "Good."

The next day, Serena got up early, bringing her documents to process her entry at the juvenile center.

This time, without Caleb’s interference, Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

Her role was a youth counselor, a volunteer position, unpaid.

Of course, Serena didn’t need the money.

The onboarding process was smoother than she expected, the headmaster personally showing her around the juvenile center, introducing basic information.

Serena didn’t tell him she was quite familiar with the place, having stayed here during her childhood.

Compared to ten years ago, the layout hadn’t changed much, but clearly remodeled, bringing a refreshing feeling.
