First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Repeated Mistakes

Seeing Serena Jennings dump the cigarette butts from the ashtray with a displeased look on her face, Caleb Lockwood couldn’t understand what he had said wrong again.

"If you don’t want to talk about smoking, just pretend I didn’t bring it up..."

Caleb said softly, his tone somewhat cautious.

He only asked about this because he wanted to understand Serena.

Clearly, there have been so many opportunities to understand Serena in the past.

But he missed them all.

Caleb doesn’t want to make mistakes over and over again.

However, at this moment, he isn’t sure if Serena will give him the chance to understand her again.

Serena, with her back to Caleb, wasn’t aware of Caleb’s careful thoughts, she just casually said:

"It’s nothing, I was just pretty rebellious when I was young..."

"You?"

Caleb was stunned.

In his memory, Serena has always been well-behaved and sensible.

Now she’s even more intellectual and capable.

The word rebellious seemed unrelated to Serena in his mind.

It’s hard for him to imagine Serena’s rebellious side.

Caleb involuntarily thought about himself.

"I was pretty rebellious when I was young too..."

Serena turned to look at Caleb.

People might think Caleb’s rebelliousness was due to being spoiled.

After all, Caleb is the sole successor of the Lockwood Group, born with a silver spoon, definitely accustomed to luxury and pampering.

However, Serena doesn’t see it that way.

If Caleb was truly spoiled, he wouldn’t have ended up in juvenile detention.

Serena doesn’t know about other places, but in her view, the juvenile detention center in City A is a tool for wealthy and powerful people to punish their children.

Of course, some people ended up there due to actual offenses.

After getting in, if the parents are resourceful, they would work all the connections to ensure their children have a better time in detention.

Just like the time she volunteered at the detention center, there was Sean Sanders, who strutted around arrogantly inside.

However, when Serena and Caleb were detained in the center, they were helpless and unsupported.

In terms of family background, neither was inferior to anyone back then.

Yet Serena had no one to back her or visit her.

Caleb was the same.

Serena used to suspect that Caleb’s polite yet distant attitude toward Arthur Lockwood and Lilian Young in recent times was related to his detention experience back then.

But when she decided to divorce Caleb, his family ties no longer mattered to her.

"Yes, I know."

Serena muttered faintly.

"You know?"

Caleb was surprised.

He originally thought Serena would be interested in the rebellious him from his childhood!

"You definitely can’t imagine how rebellious I was back then..."

Serena looked at Caleb with a faint smile.

Can’t imagine?

She didn’t need to imagine at all.

Caleb was the only one in the detention center who refused to wear the uniform.

Every class, he would sleep soundly on the desk but still answered seamlessly when called.

He drew graffiti on the solitary confinement room door after she left the room.

He dumped a tray of bug-infested food on the cafeteria aunt who deliberately made things difficult for her.

He beat the instructor who tried to take advantage of her to the point of hospitalization.

He snuck out of the dormitory in the middle of the night just to catch a firefly for her.

He threatened the student who tried to steal her workload, scaring them into tears.

...

Serena remembers all of it.

The one who doesn’t remember...

Is Caleb.

Caleb noticed the faint smile on Serena’s face slowly faded away, replaced by a deepening sadness.

He lowered his gaze, feeling as if something was stuck in his throat.
