Seeing Caleb Lockwood underneath her building, Serena Jennings was somewhat surprised.
Not seeing Caleb’s flashy luxury car nearby, and with Caleb dressed more warmly than usual, she couldn’t help but suspect that Caleb hadn’t driven but walked here.
Ethan White pulled the car to a stop, just right in front of Caleb.
He and Serena Jennings could see Caleb clearly from inside the car.
Caleb outside the car could see Serena and Ethan clearly as well.
Caleb frowned, the displeasure on his face was evident.
As Serena got out of the car, Ethan also stepped out.
Caleb could tell Ethan was exhibiting a posture as if afraid he’d bully Serena. Caleb couldn’t help but shrug with a smile.
"Not going to invite me up for a sit?"
Serena noticed Caleb’s nose was red from the cold, seeming like he’d waited a long time beneath her building.
She couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Before the divorce, she didn’t recall Caleb actively showing up before her so frequently.
"If there’s something to discuss, just say it here."
Serena’s response was expected by Caleb.
However, imagining her answer and actually hearing it are two different feelings.
Serena’s voice, when actually heard, was even more cold than Caleb had imagined.
"Saying it here is cold."
Caleb calmly uttered these few words.
"Then let’s say it in the car..."
Serena turned her head, looking around for Caleb’s car, only to hear Caleb lightly adding:
"I didn’t drive... I came on foot."
Serena couldn’t help but say in her heart: He really walked here!
From where did he walk?
The Lockwood Group?
Or The Jade Pavilion?
No matter from where he walked, the distance was far.
In the freezing winter, leaving the car unused and choosing to walk...
Serena raised her gaze slightly.
Could it be that Caleb did it deliberately for the reason of creating a situation where she would have to let him in?
Serena and Caleb faced each other, with a kind of awkward stalemate between them.
After a moment, Ethan spoke: "I have a car, you can use mine to talk."
"No need."
Caleb rejected firmly.
Serena gently patted Ethan’s arm.
"It’s okay, you head back first!"
"But..."
"If there’s anything, I’ll call you."
Ethan opened his mouth, inhaled sharply, and didn’t say anything more.
He was resolute in not feeling at ease about Serena being alone with Caleb, especially in Serena’s home.
Yet he didn’t want to protect Serena excessively, making Serena feel not free.
In the end, Ethan silently watched as Serena led Caleb upstairs.
He understood that Serena asked him to leave first because she knew he’d been busy with work lately and wanted him to rest.
But Caleb was currently in Serena’s home, showing no intention of leaving.
Ethan returned to his car without moving it.
Upstairs, Caleb walked into Serena’s home.
This wasn’t his first time in this old building on Vornath Street.
But this time, it was his first time to observe the arrangement and decor inside the house carefully.
Despite being small in size, the house was well-equipped.
Serena hadn’t remodeled it but had arranged it with an air of elegance and taste.
The money spent was minimal, yet the effect was excellent.
This reminded Caleb involuntarily of The Jade Pavilion—
