First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: You Never Loved Me From Beginning to End

Although Serena Jennings had primarily been a housewife before, she had indeed attended formal events with Caleb Lockwood.

At that time, the clothing and accessories Serena wore, and the dishes she ordered were all decided by Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb never sought her opinion or gave her the right to decide.

She was like a beautiful decoration, always complying with Caleb Lockwood’s wishes.

However, tonight was different.

Even when Ethan White invited her here for a meal, he had prepared the dress and jewelry for her in advance.

She didn’t need to choose.

But this time, Caleb Lockwood prepared a whole room of outfits for her.

He even asked for her opinion before ordering the dishes.

He gave her the choice.

This was something Caleb Lockwood absolutely wouldn’t do in the past.

But it was something he would have done during his time at the juvenile detention center, when he was a teenager.

In a daze, Serena felt that Caleb hadn’t changed after all.

The meal arrived, and to her surprise, Caleb ordered the exact same meal as hers, the C set.

The C set included garlic butter lobster.

In Serena’s memory, Caleb didn’t eat garlic.

Caleb said it was because he was afraid it would irritate his stomach, but in truth, cooked garlic wasn’t too irritating.

Serena guessed that Caleb simply didn’t like the taste of garlic.

She watched Caleb as he picked up his knife and fork, elegantly eating and naturally taking a bite of garlic butter lobster.

His eyebrows furrowed tightly, knotted like a pretzel.

This was the first time Serena saw Caleb forcing himself to eat something he didn’t like.

His expression was a bit comical, making Serena unable to stifle her laughter.

Knowing Serena was mocking him, Caleb’s frown deepened.

But as he chewed, his brows gradually relaxed.

Cooked garlic was indeed much less strong than raw garlic.

Initially, Caleb wasn’t used to the taste, but gradually, the caramelized sweetness from the garlic cooked in oil, combined with the lobster’s natural flavor, became more and more delicious, increasingly addictive.

"It tastes good; no wonder you like it."

Serena watched as Caleb skewered another piece of garlic butter lobster, savoring it with great interest.

"Why the sudden change in taste?"

Serena asked curiously.

"I just wanted to try the things you enjoy eating."

Caleb answered earnestly.

Including the year of their separation, he and Serena had been married for four years.

Yet he didn’t even know what foods Serena liked or what color clothes she preferred.

He knew nothing about Serena.

He wasn’t interested in knowing before, either.

The only thing he knew was that Serena loved him, that she was his possession.

Caleb felt a small pebble of pain rubbing against his chest.

At this moment, he heard Serena calling his name:

"Caleb..."

"I’ve handed Claire over to the leader of The Wyrmfang Gang."

Caleb changed the topic so quickly that Serena was caught off guard.

He did it on purpose.

Because his instincts told him that Serena was about to say something he wouldn’t want to hear.

"Actually, even if you didn’t hand her over to The Wyrmfang Gang, they wouldn’t have spared her."

Serena said calmly.

"That’s true..."

Caleb gave a bitter smile.

"Seems like my attempt to take credit failed."

"Take credit?"

Serena slightly lifted her eyelids.
