143: Regretting the Divorce from Serena Jennings


    Caleb Lockwood’s expression hardly changed, but his ink–like ck eyes grew darker and darker. 1


    “Isn’t ire the one you like?”


    Ian ckwood put down his wine ss, adjusting his gold–rimmed sses, without rushing to answer the question.


    He poured himself another ss of wine, this time adding a few more ice cubes.


    It was already winter, and with no warm air in the room, drinking iced wine would only harm the stomach.


    At least Caleb Lockwood, who had a stomach disease, wouldn’t do such a thing.


    While drinking iced vodka, Ian ckwood spoke slowly:


    “I used to like ire…”


    Ian ckwood recalled the days back in high school, when ire Shaw was dressed in sweet pink, looking pure and sweet.


    He had bouts of mania, where he often became uncontrobly irritable.


    Only when seeing ire Shaw could he feel calm.


    “But I don’t like her anymore.”

    Ian ckwood’s eyes, hidden behind the gold–rimmed sses, suddenly turned cold.


    Caleb Lockwood smiled indifferently.


    “Isn’t this just pure fickleness and impulsive attraction?”


    With Caleb’s assessment, Ian ckwood’s expression turned unhappy.


    “I haven’t liked multiple people at once or dated multiple people, how can that be called fickle? As for impulsive attraction…”


    He adjusted his gold–rimmed sses and smiled.


    *Serena Jennings is beautiful, as a healthy man, it’s normal to be impulsively attracted!”


    Saying this, Ian ckwood didn’t believe he was attracted impulsively.


    At least when he first met Serena Jennings, he didn’t have this feeling.


    When did it start?


    Perhaps because of that over–the–shoulder throw?


    Ian ckwoodughed again.


    Caleb Lockwood stared at Jan ckwood’s face; his recalling expression made the light in Caleb’s eyes cooler.


    After snapping out of it, Ian ckwood realized Caleb Lockwood seemed to be ring at him.

    “But you, Serena Jennings was offered to you and you held back, if you’re not physically capable, I can introduce you to a doctor.”


    Knowing thatn was intentionally mocking him, Caleb Lockwood coldlyughed:


    “You can ask Serena Jennings if I’m capable or not; we’ve been married for over three years.”


    He didn’t avoid touching Serena Jennings.


    Rather, he wouldn’t allow himself to release desires while not sober.


    Being controlled by medication and losing his mind was too disgraceful.


    The living room quieted down, the atmosphere was even slightly tense.


    After a while,n ckwood shook his wine ss, the clinking ice cubes inside sounded crisp, somewhat pleasant.


    “I thought you loved ire so much, would keep yourself for her! But as a fellow man, I can understand…”


    “Don’t lump me with you.”


    Caleb Lockwood replied indifferently.


    “What difference is there between us? I think I’m better than you; at least I didn’t im to love ire Shaw, then marry Serena Jennings,


    sleep with her for three years, then go back to ire Shaw for reconciliation.”


    “When did I say I reconciled with ire?”


    Caleb’s casual remark maden ckwood raise his eyebrows.


    “Oh? Then what is your current rtionship with ire?”


    Caleb Lockwood didn’t answer.


    He felt he’d been exchanging too many words with Ian today.


    “I’m just fulfilling promises from the past.”


    Caleb murmured softly, more like talking to himself.


    Ian couldn’t help butugh.


    “Nonsense promises, you’re already a married man yet pretend to be a romantic fool… I don’t believe you haven’t felt anything for Serena


    Jennings…


    “No.”


    This time, Caleb quickly denied it.


    Looking at Caleb’s cold face,n truly couldn’t see the slightest wavering.


    “Well then, I like Serena Jennings, just don’t get in my way.”


    Caleb stepped forward to the bar,pletely ignoring his bandaged and injured hand, poured himself a drink and downed it.


    10:03


    I wont get in your way… ▲


    Ian watched Caleb’s sharply defined profile, seeing that Caleb was serious.


    “Alright then… If someday you regret divorcing Serena, you’re not allowed to pursue her again.”


    J Jewelry Studio.


    Serena Jennings sensed odd looks from Nancy Young and Sharon Sanders just upon arriving at thepany.


    Quentin Xavier was also quite curious, butpared to the gossip–hungry girls, he was more restrained.


    Serena knew perfectly well what Nancy Young and Sharon Sanders wanted to know.


    If she were just Caleb’s wife, there wouldn’t be much gossip.


    But she had never disclosed this fact, and Caleb Lockwood had consistently aided herpetitor, ire Shaw, openly and secretly.


    The love–hate rtionship between her, Caleb Lockwood, and ire Shaw was what truly captivated Nancy Young and Sharon Sanders.


    Regardless, she was their boss; unless she voluntarily shared, they wouldn’t dare to inquire recklessly.


    Rather than being intrigued by family love triangles, Serena preferred her staff focused on their work.


    “Hey, I’m looking for Serena Jennings, is Serena working here?”


    An old man in a cheap suit, looking sleazy and greasy, knocked on the office door.


    Since he was explicitly asking for her, Serena stood up.


    …Ben Jennings?”


    Once she saw the man’s face, she was shocked.


    “How rude, call me uncle.”


    Quentin Xavier, Nancy Young, and Sharon Sanders were all shocked to hear the man’s words.


    They couldn’t believe associating this sleazy man with Serena Jennings’s uncle.


    However, this man named Ben Jennings was indeed Audrey Jennings’s brother and thus Serena Jennings’s uncle.


    Still, Serena never acknowledged Ben Jennings.


    Ben Jennings started a business with capital borrowed from Audrey Jennings; yet, after thepany made profits, he didn’t repay.


    Later, when Audrey Jennings needed money for hospital care due to poor health, Ben Jennings not only didn’t contribute a cent but


    severed ties, calling them burdens, leeching off him.


    Seeing Ben Jennings now just made Serena sick.


    “I don’t recognize you as my uncle, please leave.”


    Serena wanted Ben Jennings gone, but he was obstinate, causing a scene.

    Ma TUKUYOS, i must have done


    something awful in a previous life to have you as a niece, let me tell you, you can’t distance yourself from me, we used to be on the same household registry, now you’re a richdy, I’m not saying you should bankroll me, at least don’t be so impolite right?”


    This tirade left Serena with a headache.


    Not wanting him to disturb Quentin and others‘ work further, she took Ben Jennings out of the studio, finding a café to sit in.


    “Why did you suddenlye looking for me?”


    Serena asked coldly.


    Ben Jennings ordered himself a coffee first, then only after it arrived did he answer:


    “It’s nothing major, just heard my niece snagged a rich husband, married into a wealthy family, specially came to congratte you.”


    This insincere lie from Ben Jennings only made Serena roll her eyes.


    “Get to the point, otherwise I’m leaving.”


    As Serena stood up, Ben Jennings panicked, “Wait wait, sit down.”


    Serena sat back down.


    “It’s just… mypany is having a bit of financial trouble, mind you I’m not asking to borrow money from you… that husband of yours… isn’t it Caleb Lockwood! You ask him to invest a few tens of millions into mypany, when I make a profit he can earn dividends!”
