First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Not Divorced

Serena was stunned.

Her long eyelashes lifted upwards, and Caleb Lockwood’s striking face was reflected in her eyes.

This face was very serious.

But Serena couldn’t understand why Caleb Lockwood was saying this to her so earnestly.

She remembered the fireworks Caleb had set off.

Hot air balloons, cake, fireworks display—

It was indeed an incredibly romantic birthday party.

Although Serena was confused at the time, she was nevertheless deeply moved.

Yet the more she was moved at that moment, the more her heart was touched, the more excited she became...

The more it hurt when she was stabbed in the back afterward, and the deeper the wound.

Serena was silent for a long time, then smiled slightly.

"Don’t misunderstand, those fireworks weren’t meant for me."

They were for Claire Shaw.

It was a gift and compensation to help Claire Shaw win the gemstone she had reserved.

Serena initially wanted to shake off Caleb’s hand, but he held onto her arm tightly, and she couldn’t break free; it just hurt her arm.

"What are you doing?!"

When Ethan White appeared, Caleb finally let go of his hand.

He saw the bright red marks on Serena’s pale arm and realized how hard he had been gripping it.

Apologetic words were on the tip of his tongue, but before he could speak, Ethan White’s voice rang out.

"How do you feel? Does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."

Ethan blew on Serena’s arm a few times, and she felt a little better.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

After saying that, she gave Caleb a look before turning around and heading into the restroom.

Caleb felt like Serena had just glared at him.

"Mr. Lockwood, please don’t entangle yourself with your ex-wife; it’s very unsightly."

The words "ex-wife" from Ethan White’s mouth sounded particularly harsh to Caleb.

But he wasn’t angry; on the contrary, he chuckled.

"Are you sure... she’s an ex-wife?"

Caleb’s mild retort left Ethan momentarily stunned.

"What do you mean?"

With a faint smirk on his lips, Caleb casually remarked, "What if Serena and I are not divorced?" then walked back to his seat on his own.

The food on his plate had already gone cold, but Caleb picked up his knife and fork and continued eating. No one could tell if he was eating with relish or out of disinterest.

When Serena came out of the restroom, she found Ethan still standing there.

"What’s wrong?"

She asked with a face full of concern, "Did Caleb make things difficult for you?"

"No..." Ethan shook his head, hesitating to speak.

It wasn’t until they both returned to their seats that he couldn’t help asking, "Serena, you and Caleb... are divorced, right?"

"Yes!"

Although Serena didn’t quite understand why Ethan suddenly asked this question and in such a hesitant manner, she answered decisively.

"Well, that’s good..."

Ethan didn’t say much more, and they quickly switched to other topics.

However, Caleb’s words "what if Serena and I are not divorced" lingered like a thorn in Ethan’s heart, seemingly unable to be removed any time soon.

Caleb and Serena, along with Ethan, almost started their meals at the same time, but Caleb, after all, was dining alone, so he finished faster than them.

After he paid the bill, he stood up and glanced toward the window.

Serena and Ethan were still eating, chatting, and laughing.

Retracting his gaze, Caleb reached into the pocket of his suit pants and pulled out two gift boxes.

He put one back again.

The gift box he put back was given to him by Arthur Lockwood; he didn’t even know what was inside.
