First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Change of Heart

It was in a confined classroom.

They were called students, but in fact, they were prisoners too.

When Caleb Lockwood first saw Ellie, he indeed looked at her twice.

Because she was very distinct.

Her long curly hair was dyed granny gray, she wore metal braces, and her brows showed a rebellious spirit.

Although she had clear and delicate features, there were noticeable freckles on her face.

Therefore, Caleb didn’t initially find Ellie particularly attractive.

Caleb watched Serena Jennings’ sleeping face and inexplicably overlapped it with the past image of Ellie.

"No..."

Caleb gently closed his eyes and shook his head forcefully.

He no longer sought Ellie.

Back then, he was so eager to reunite with Ellie that he mistook Claire Shaw for her when he heard the music.

That night, he was drenched in rain outside the juvenile detention center.

It was his farewell to his past self.

He had chosen to look forward now.

Back then, he was serious about that first love.

And now, he is serious about this relationship too.

Caleb slowly approached Serena.

Serena’s sleeping face seemed to magically attract him.

His gaze landed on her slightly parted, evenly breathing red lips.

Caleb seemed to catch a faint scent of fruit.

He wondered whether Serena was wearing some lip balm or if her lips were naturally sweet.

Caleb heard the strong beat of his heart in his chest.

He leaned forward, trying to press his lips tightly against Serena’s.

However, just as their lips met, Serena turned her head to the other side.

Caleb frowned, feeling somewhat discontent and a bit disappointed.

Serena hadn’t woken up, still asleep.

He sighed.

Actually, he could have turned Serena’s head back to kiss her again.

But he feared awaking Serena.

Serena seemed very tired, and Caleb wanted her to sleep a bit longer.

Although he couldn’t kiss Serena’s red lips for longer, being able to watch her sleeping face for a little longer, Caleb felt contented.

The royal blue Bentley left the rest area, and the sign overhead indicated that the highway was heading towards Country C.

Serena didn’t expect that after waking up, not only had the day turned to dusk, but she had also arrived in Country C.

She was covered with Caleb’s suit jacket.

The jacket had a faint scent of tobacco.

Serena frowned slightly.

"What’s wrong?"

Caleb noticed Serena’s change in expression while parking.

"Have you been smoking a lot lately?"

Serena regretted asking this as soon as the words left her mouth.

Whether Caleb smoked or how much he smoked was none of her business.

"Sorry if it bothered you..." Caleb casually took back the suit jacket.

Without the jacket, the cool air immediately wrapped around Serena’s thin body.

She silently got out of the car and realized they were indeed inside the Crescent Isle scenic area.

In front of her loomed the Isabelle Tower, with the restaurant situated on the 126th floor.

"You want to take me here for dinner?"

Serena looked up at the heights and, after a moment, glanced at Caleb beside her.

"Even if you spend lavishly, I won’t change my mind."

Her words were firm and resolute.

Caleb didn’t even furrow his brow; he simply responded calmly:

"Whether you change your mind is your affair... whether I spend lavishly is mine."

After speaking, he entered with Serena.
