First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Be a Good Stay-at-Home Wife

There is some distance between Caleb Lockwood and Serena Jennings.

It’s unclear whether it was the wine blurring her vision or if Caleb Lockwood’s expression was naturally that cold.

Serena Jennings always felt that Caleb Lockwood stood before her like an iceberg.

Caleb Lockwood was looking at her.

Without moving.

Serena Jennings had expected to see disdain and contempt in Caleb Lockwood’s eyes, but instead, his gaze was frozen, revealing no emotion.

"Caleb, you’re here!"

Claire Shaw waved to Caleb Lockwood when she saw him arrive.

Only then did Caleb Lockwood look away from Serena Jennings.

He sat beside Claire Shaw, brushing past Serena Jennings as if she didn’t exist.

Caleb Lockwood said nothing.

Serena Jennings remained silent as well.

Claire Shaw had thought Caleb Lockwood would at least say something, seeing Serena Jennings drenched in wine.

But he didn’t.

Claire Shaw felt a thrill at Caleb Lockwood’s silence.

No matter how pitiful you try to appear before Caleb, Serena, he won’t even bother to acknowledge you.

Claire Shaw, feeling pleased, smiled radiantly, even the food tasted better.

Serena Jennings went to the bathroom to clean off the wine from her face and body, trying to appear less disheveled.

She couldn’t change her clothes since there was only one set of the server’s uniform.

Luckily, the uniform material was thick enough not to soak through, and she could continue wearing it after wiping the surface.

After tidying herself up as best as she could, Serena Jennings stepped out of the bathroom and bumped into Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood silently handed her a handkerchief.

Serena Jennings didn’t take it.

Whether from goodwill or sympathy, as long as it came from Caleb Lockwood, she wanted nothing to do with it.

Arm sore from holding it, with the handkerchief still not taken, Caleb Lockwood lowered his arm.

By then, Serena Jennings had already walked past him—

Ignoring him.

Caleb Lockwood turned and spoke to her back, "Instead of getting divorced and ending up bullied as a waitress, why not just be a housewife at home..."

Serena Jennings slowly halted.

Caleb Lockwood subtly smirked.

"That’s what you’re thinking, right?"

Serena Jennings glanced back at Caleb Lockwood and smiled.

She had a beautiful smile.

Caleb Lockwood used to enjoy watching it.

But this time, her smile made Caleb Lockwood’s expression abruptly darken.

Even though Serena Jennings said nothing, he inexplicably interpreted the underlying message in her smile:

"Are you out of your mind?"

Caleb Lockwood clenched the handkerchief into a ball.

With Caleb Lockwood at the table, neither Claire Shaw nor Cynthia Fulton dared openly trouble Serena Jennings.

The three of them gathered today to discuss the detailed process of welcoming Queen Elizabeth from Ydris in two weeks.

The Fulton Family, being the main sponsor, was the chief organizer, followed by The Lockwood Family.

The Nash Family was supposed to collaborate with The Fulton Family, but the scandal from the runaway marriage left them no face to continue.

Collaborating with The Nash Family would have made them seem desperate, further humiliating them.
