First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Slept on the Same Bed

Caleb Lockwood’s voice was neither cold nor warm, always making it hard for Serena Jennings to discern his emotions.

"Of course not."

She answered.

She and Caleb Lockwood would be getting divorced in just a few days, she wasn’t going to delude herself.

The emperor blue Bentley pulled into the service area, and Serena realized Caleb intended for them to spend the night here.

"You don’t really need to inconvenience yourself like this."

Upon hearing Serena’s words, Caleb turned his head, his cold eyes showing a hint of puzzlement.

Serena quickly explained, "I mean... you probably won’t be comfortable staying here... so you don’t have to force yourself to accompany me to a place like this."

"Then where should I stay?" Caleb asked indifferently.

From what Serena knew of Caleb, staying at a simple motel in the service area was beneath him.

"A five-star hotel?"

After Serena spoke, she heard Caleb let out a light chuckle.

The sky was dark, clouds thick, but there were signs that the rain was diminishing.

Before entering the motel, Serena opened the umbrella first, and then the car trunk.

Caleb had appeared behind her at some point and took the umbrella from her hand.

Serena turned her head.

Behind her, Caleb said nothing, quietly holding the umbrella for her despite his own shoulder getting wet.

Serena felt a strange pang in her chest, took a deep breath, and smelled the cool, damp scent of rain.

"Thank you..."

"You’re welcome."

The conversation was very formal and polite, yet Caleb’s tone was gentle, much like the way they had been respectful towards each other before the discovery of the form.

Serena sighed silently, bending down to carefully check the jade stone in the trunk.

"I want to move it into the room..."

As she spoke, she looked at Caleb, instinctively seeking his opinion.

"Why?" Caleb asked.

"This stone is very important and expensive, I’m afraid it’ll get lost..."

After Serena spoke, she saw Caleb lower his eyes and smile wryly.

"Do you think this little motel is safer than my car?"

Serena opened her mouth, realizing she was being overly worried.

"Besides, the cultural department’s leaders have already decided to use Claire’s design."

As soon as Caleb finished speaking, Serena’s eyes widened.

"Disappointed?"

"A little..."

Serena lowered her head slightly, her face unable to hide her disappointment.

When closing the trunk, Caleb saw Serena still looking uneasy.

"Still not giving up?"

Serena was stunned and forced a bitter smile.

"I’ve given up... since they’ve decided to use Claire Shaw’s design..."

"So you shouldn’t have bothered from the start."

Caleb’s calm voice didn’t sound like he was mocking her, and Serena replied softly with "Hmm."

The two entered the motel to check-in, when asked if they needed a single room, Serena answered "No," while Caleb answered "Yes."

Caleb glanced at Serena and told the receptionist, "One room."

"Would you prefer a king bed or twin beds?"

Serena originally wanted to say "twin beds," but Caleb spoke first again:

"King bed."

Serena looked at Caleb, but Caleb didn’t look at her.

As a result, the two people who were about to divorce ended up sleeping on the same bed in a small motel at a highway service area.

Although Serena had been wary, she didn’t think Caleb would want to do anything to her in such a place.

Indeed, she was right. Caleb lay on the bed motionless after taking a shower. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
