Although Serena Jennings wasn’t a particularly skilled golfer, she knew that a hole-in-one was one of the most exciting moments in golf.
But she never expected that the person to achieve this highest honor would be Claire Shaw.
"Caleb!"
Claire Shaw waved her golf club excitedly in Caleb Lockwood’s direction, yet didn’t take a step.
It was Caleb Lockwood who took the initiative to walk toward Claire Shaw.
Standing on the lush green hillside, Claire Shaw wore a pink and white collared polo shirt paired with a matching pink and white golf skirt, her hair in a ponytail, looking both sweet and exuding a healthy athletic vibe.
Plus, with her stunning hole-in-one, she became the brightest star in the entire club.
Mason Warren and Vera Vance also followed Caleb Lockwood to stand in front of Claire Shaw.
"Caleb, do you know this beauty?" Mason Warren asked curiously.
"Yes," Caleb Lockwood nodded, "Her name is Claire Shaw, she’s a high school classmate of mine and now also works at the Lockwood Group as the head of the design department."
"So young and already a head of department!" Mason Warren was surprised.
"She’s young and even scored a hole-in-one!" Vera Vance nudged Mason Warren.
"Impressive! Impressive!" Mason Warren gave Claire Shaw multiple thumbs up.
Claire Shaw blushed bashfully, "No, I’m just an amateur, that was just by chance."
Seeing Claire Shaw’s humility, Mason Warren and Vera Vance couldn’t help but praise her again.
Serena Jennings watched from a distance, not joining in the excitement.
Since Claire Shaw appeared suddenly, Caleb Lockwood’s eyes never left her.
Claire Shaw was praised, and there was a look of pride on Caleb Lockwood’s face too.
Serena Jennings suddenly thought, if she left quietly now, probably no one would notice!
Dinner turned into a gathering of five, with Claire Shaw included.
Claire Shaw had come alone.
She said she was eager to play golf but couldn’t find friends to accompany her.
Whether others believed that excuse or not, Serena Jennings certainly didn’t.
City A was so large, with countless golf clubs of all sizes, so why did Claire Shaw end up alone at the club where she and Caleb Lockwood were!
Moreover, she performed a public hole-in-one exhibition.
Of course, Claire Shaw’s hole-in-one was genuine, and Serena Jennings couldn’t say anything about it.
The conversation over dinner revolved around golf, and Serena Jennings couldn’t find a chance to join in, so she just played the role of a silent decoration.
Every time Claire Shaw delivered her eloquent speeches, Serena Jennings could see the strong admiration in Caleb Lockwood’s eyes.
In a daze, Serena Jennings recalled Caleb Lockwood’s evaluation of Claire Shaw:
Too outstanding.
She was too outstanding, so she wasn’t suitable to be the Lockwood family’s daughter-in-law.
Meanwhile, the reason Serena was suitable to be the Lockwood family’s daughter-in-law was precisely because she wasn’t so outstanding.
Serena Jennings felt an overwhelming mix of emotions during that meal.
Tonight, they planned to stay overnight there; regardless of her golf skills, as Caleb Lockwood’s wife, they naturally shared a room.
Serena Jennings didn’t want to share a room with Caleb Lockwood.
She was still planning to use their two-year separation as evidence for their divorce litigation.
Also, an unattended couple alone in a room could easily lead to inappropriate situations.
Such things were not unheard of with Caleb Lockwood.
After returning to the room, Serena Jennings took a shower and changed into her pajamas before lying on the bed, letting her thoughts wander uncontrollably.
If Caleb Lockwood returned later...
As she thought on, she fell asleep.
Caleb Lockwood didn’t return all night.
It wasn’t until the next day that Serena Jennings learned Caleb Lockwood had spent the night in Claire Shaw’s room with Mason Warren and Vera Vance, playing bridge all night.
Serena Jennings sat in her chair, mocking herself for her arrogance the previous night.
Now Caleb Lockwood, Claire Shaw, Mason Warren, and Vera Vance were all off playing golf, leaving just her behind.
Caleb Lockwood had made a show of inviting her along, but in the face of Claire Shaw’s superior golf skills, she’d only embarrass herself, so there was no need to self-humiliate.
So today, she didn’t even bother to change, wearing not golf attire but the Morandi gray suit Caleb Lockwood had given her.
On the hillside, Claire Shaw handed Caleb Lockwood a towel, which he used to wipe Claire Shaw’s sweat.

Crash!
