First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Let Me Borrow Your Wife for a While

Serena’s heart involuntarily felt a slight touch.

Before, she had made dumplings for Caleb Lockwood many times, with all sorts of fillings: pork and cabbage, pork and celery, pork and mushrooms, beef and onions, lamb and zucchini, and more.

Caleb had never said they tasted bad.

But he had also never said they tasted good.

Even after being married for three years, Serena still didn’t know what type of dumpling Caleb liked best.

Yet now, at the brink of divorce, Caleb said he was craving her dumplings. Serena didn’t know why, but she found it a bit ironic.

"You can eat Claire’s dumplings in the future; I’m sure they taste better than mine."

Serena said coldly.

She heard Caleb sigh beside her.

She didn’t understand why Caleb sighed.

It seemed like he was disappointed.

Disappointed in her.

Serena shrugged her shoulders.

Whether Caleb was disappointed or not had nothing to do with her.

"Wyatt Coleman has resigned."

Caleb said this out of nowhere.

Serena took a moment to react, realizing that Caleb’s "Wyatt Coleman" was probably the chief lawyer at the Lockwood Group, Lawyer Coleman.

She turned to look at Caleb, who was gazing ahead.

"So, I’ve hired a new lawyer. The divorce papers... will be given to you after you return from LD Jewelry Fashion Week."

Caleb said it very calmly, with an imperturbable expression that Serena couldn’t discern what he was thinking.

Although the process was taking longer than she expected, at least she got a concrete date.

LD Jewelry Fashion Week...

She still hadn’t figured out her new theme.

Caleb glanced at Serena out of the corner of his eye.

"What are you worrying about?"

"Nothing."

Serena shook her head.

Caleb didn’t press further.

As they walked out of the rest building, Serena’s phone suddenly rang.

The caller display showed an unknown number, but there was no spam call warning.

"Hello?" Serena answered the call.

"I’m at the entrance of the nursing home, they’re not letting me in."

The opening statement left Serena bewildered.

"Who is this?"

"Can’t you guess from my voice?"

The other person’s tone was flippant, making Serena a bit annoyed.

"If you don’t say, I’ll hang up."

Just as Serena was about to hang up, she heard the person laugh twice and say:

"You just threw me over your shoulder recently, and now you don’t remember? Truly abandoning me!"

Serena understood then; the person was Ian Blackwood.

As she and Caleb approached the gate, Ian’s tall figure became increasingly clear.

"Hi."

Across the European-style wrought iron gate, Ian put down his phone and greeted Serena with a smile.

Ignoring Caleb.

Caleb asked Serena:

"Did you arrange to meet him?"

The voice didn’t fluctuate, yet it felt like a sudden chill, dropping several degrees.

"No."

Serena shook her head.

She was also puzzled about how Ian found this place.

But considering Ian was also a scion of a wealthy family, it wasn’t surprising he had his ways.

Serena just couldn’t figure out why Ian came here looking for her.

Was it to take revenge for her flipping him over last time, leaving him on his back?

The door opened, and Serena and Caleb walked out to face Ian.

Ian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and finally looked at Caleb.

"Mind if I borrow your wife?"

Ian looked scholarly and refined, but his words easily led to misunderstanding.

"Ian, please speak properly."
