"Zoran! The Winters family is in such a mess, why aren't you helping Felicity out a bit..."
The coquettish tone carried a hint of sweet reproach as Zoran patiently coaxed Serena.
Their intimate behavior, oblivious to others, made me want to gag.
"You two keep acting, I'm leaving first."
I stood up abruptly, tossing out these words as I prepared to leave.
Zoran's eyes instantly darkened, his face full of irritation:
"What do you mean by that? The first thing Serena does when she comes back is to see you, and this is your attitude?"
"Felicity, you'll never learn to speak nicely, will you?"
The spacious living room fell into a deathly silence.
Serena, with an embarrassed smile, tugged at Zoran, softly saying she didn't mind.
But Zoran's anger seemed capable of blowing the roof off: "Apologize to Serena! Or the contract is void!"
I took a deep breath and turned around:
"Serena, do you want me to apologize?"
Serena shook her head repeatedly, her face filled with panic:
"Felicity, don't be like this."You are my best friend. I don't want things to turn sour between you two..."
As she spoke, tears began to roll down Serena's cheeks.
Zoran hugged Serena tenderly, comforting her. As I was about to leave, I turned back and locked eyes with Serena:
"Felicity, you've lost again."
I let out a cold laugh internally and walked away without looking back.
The next day, I heard the story of Zoran and Serena's reconciliation from various people.
The love story of a wealthy heir reuniting with his pure, delicate girl after ten years created waves in our social circle.
Standing beneath the giant screen at the intersection, I saw the grand welcome party Zoran was throwing for Serena.
It was comparable to a wedding of the century.
"Beep beep beep..."
The sound of a car horn pierced the air, and a black sedan pulled up in front of me.
As the window rolled down, the man's sharp profile came into view.
He wore dark sunglasses, and a silver-tipped white cane rested beside him.
"Is this Mr. Belmont?"
The driver spoke up first: "Miss Winters, please get in."
In the cramped space of the car, I hardly dared to breathe, afraid of disturbing anyone.The journey was silent, until the car stopped and I suddenly realized he had brought me to the Gevano family dinner.
I instinctively wanted to flee, but Granger grabbed my wrist:
"Miss Winters, I won't have someone who can't let go of their past."
His deep voice lingered in my ear, like an enchanting spell that I struggled to resist.
"Felicity, what are you doing here?"
Zoran's voice rang out beside me.
I turned my head to see Zoran and Serena standing behind me.
Zoran's initially pleasant expression darkened the moment he saw me.
He stared intently at my hand being held by Granger.
I'm not sure if it was my imagination, but a flash of reluctance seemed to cross his eyes.
"Hold onto me."
Granger swung his arm, and his cane promptly touched the ground.
I supported his arm with one hand as his cane made a constant tapping sound.
Granger led me to stand in front of them.
"Brought a small gift, hope you'll accept it."
With that simple sentence, Granger precisely placed the gift into Serena's hands. Serena didn't even have time to thank him before he walked into the venue.
The way he moved so gracefully, how could he possibly be blind?
