This was the first time she saw Caleb Lockwood wearing an apron.
Whether it was when they were young and depended on each other in the juvenile detention center, or later when he courted her at the university gate, in Serena Jennings’ memory, Caleb was someone who had nothing to do with the kitchen.
In their three years of marriage, Caleb never once cooked.
In fact, if it weren’t for the last time she saw him and Claire Shaw in the supermarket by chance, Serena wouldn’t have known Caleb could cook.
Serena couldn’t help but sized Caleb up.
The apron wasn’t pink but deep blue, made of canvas, thick and wide, not very new—
Clearly specially prepared for Caleb.
This suggested that Caleb was the one who usually cooked, rather than deliberately putting on a show for this party.
Serena couldn’t quite pinpoint what was bothering her, but the uncomfortable feeling was definite.
"Serena, you haven’t tasted Caleb’s cooking yet, have you? Try it, it’s very tasty."
Claire walked over, pretending to hand Serena a pair of chopsticks.
Serena didn’t take them.
"Serena, you’re about to resign, but Claire still specially invited you here, you better not be ungrateful!"
Christine Warren shouted from behind.
Originally, she wasn’t qualified to attend this party held by the design department, but she came to join the fun because of her good relationship with Claire.
Serena took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of deep-fried pork.
The deep-fried pork was delicious, not much inferior to her cooking.
However, she didn’t like eating it.
Seeing Serena frown, Claire deliberately asked, "What, is it not tasty? Maybe I’m just used to eating dishes cooked by Caleb."
Seeing Claire lean her head happily on Caleb’s shoulder, the deep-fried pork in Serena’s mouth became even more tasteless.
This party was specially requested by Claire from Caleb.
The previous trending topic made too many people in the company mistakenly think she was the third party in Caleb and Serena’s marriage.
But Claire never considered herself the third party.
She was the one who first met Caleb.
She was Caleb’s first love too.
If it weren’t for her insistence on going abroad, if Caleb wasn’t trying to get back at her, would it have ever been Serena’s turn?
From the beginning to the end, Serena was just a part of the game between her and Caleb.
Now she is back home, back by Caleb’s side.
Even if Caleb hasn’t divorced, what does a marriage certificate prove anyway!
Caleb has never admitted Serena’s status outside.
Claire believes she understands Caleb quite well.
She dumped Caleb back then, so now that she turns back, Caleb still hasn’t agreed to marry her.
Likewise, Serena has proposed a divorce, intending to retreat in order to advance, naturally Caleb won’t let Serena off easily.
Claire is eager to see who will last between them.
"Speaking of which, I got a shock when I saw the wedding photo of President Lockwood and Serena online. I really thought you two got married!"
A colleague, a bit tipsy from the relaxed party atmosphere and Caleb’s unusual appearance as a homemaker in an apron, recklessly blurted out.
In an instant, the spacious house fell silent.
Everyone was petrified.
The atmosphere was so awkward that the employee’s alcohol sobered up considerably.
Caleb remained silent, and Claire didn’t say anything either.
Only Serena endured all the curious gazes from everyone present.
After a while, they heard Serena speak up:
"No... that photo isn’t real..."
Claire secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew Serena would never have the courage to admit the wedding photo was real.
Caleb slightly lifted his gaze.
