First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Wrapping an Arm Around Claire’s Bare Back

Serena Jennings took a moment to react to Caleb Lockwood’s words.

Her hand holding the phone was tense.

"What do you mean? What does ’not getting divorced’ mean?"

"Just what it says."

Caleb Lockwood’s indifferent tone infuriated Serena Jennings.

She had waited all day just to wait for the reporters to leave, so she and Caleb Lockwood could proceed with the divorce.

"Caleb Lockwood, are you playing with me?"

"Grandpa is hospitalized."

Serena Jennings’s eyes widened.

"Because...of me?"

The only response Caleb Lockwood gave her was a cold laugh.

This laughter carried two meanings for Serena Jennings.

One was to blame her for making so much noise and agitating Grandpa.

The other was to mock her for thinking too much of herself, being self-important.

Serena Jennings couldn’t tell which one it was.

"Anyway, you haven’t been to work for several days, and you don’t need to come in today either. I’ll send Mr. Miller to pick you up, and we’ll go see Grandpa together."

"...Alright..."

In the end, Serena Jennings agreed.

She had no choice but to agree.

Even if she could disregard Caleb Lockwood’s well-being, she couldn’t disregard Grandpa’s.

Soon, Mr. Miller came to pick up Serena Jennings in the imperial blue Bentley.

Serena Jennings got in the car and casually asked, "No need to pick up Caleb Lockwood?"

"President Lockwood has someone to send him."

Mr. Miller’s answer was vague, but a clear image appeared in Serena Jennings’s mind.

It should be Claire Shaw!

Driving the car, Mr. Miller glanced at Serena Jennings and noticed her expression looked unpleasant, reflecting on whether he had spoken too much.

Meanwhile, Caleb Lockwood was seated in a flashy pink sports car.

Claire Shaw was driving, taking Caleb Lockwood to The Summit Springs Sanatorium.

Lance Lockwood was hospitalized here for convalescence.

"I’m sorry..."

Caleb Lockwood got out of the car, looking apologetically at Claire Shaw.

"Grandpa’s health isn’t good, you know that, I can’t bring you in."

"Hmm...I know Grandpa doesn’t like me..."

Claire Shaw lowered her head, forcing a bitter smile that was close to tears.

"Claire..."

"It’s not your fault, Caleb, you don’t need to feel guilty...I don’t want you to have a falling out with Grandpa over me...I...just being by your side is enough for me..."

Claire Shaw’s eyes reddened, her voice trembled, as she hugged Caleb Lockwood’s waist.

Caleb Lockwood remained silent for a moment, slowly reaching out to draw Claire Shaw’s exposed back.

Beside the imperial blue Bentley, Serena Jennings stood quietly, as if she didn’t exist.

Mr. Miller got out of the car and saw Serena Jennings staring blankly ahead, puzzled, until he saw Claire Shaw intimately embracing Caleb Lockwood.

His expression turned awkward, words of advising Serena Jennings not to watch lingered on his lips.

At this moment, embracing Claire Shaw, Caleb Lockwood turned his head, his dark eyes reflected Serena Jennings standing by the Bentley.

Serena Jennings thought Caleb Lockwood, seeing her come, would let go of Claire Shaw.

However, Caleb Lockwood didn’t.

He remained motionless, arms still around Claire Shaw, and his eyes did not even blink upon seeing her.

Serena Jennings suddenly realized it was herself who was arrogant.

Time seemed to stand still.

At the entrance of The Summit Springs Sanatorium, four people stood still like immobile utility poles.

Only when Claire Shaw let go did Caleb Lockwood retract his arms.

Claire Shaw turned her head, pretending she had just noticed Serena Jennings, and walked over, holding Caleb Lockwood’s hand.

"Serena, I’m leaving Caleb to you. Don’t forget to brew his medicine."

Her comment suggested Caleb Lockwood belonged to her; Serena Jennings remained silent.

Claire Shaw didn’t mind, went back to the car, and took out a large bouquet of fresh flowers.

"These are a token of goodwill for Grandpa, Serena, could you help take them inside?"

Serena Jennings did not take them.

"I’m not a servant."

Claire Shaw deliberately paused, awkwardly looked at Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood took the flowers.
