Wilson was refined and graceful as ever when he appeared at the doorway. His tall frame and warm smile give off a comforting presence. He asked gently, "Am I intruding?" Seraphina smiled back and said, "Of course not."
Wilson's gaze shifted to little Dani, who was happily engrossed in assembling a three-meter puzzle on the open floor. The child seemed lost in his own world.
Still, Wilson's smile deepened as he looked back at Seraphina. He invited, "Care to join me for a meal?"
Seraphina paused. She instinctively turned him down.
"No, I have plans with someone later."
Wilson's smile only widened, his eyes twinkling as he glanced over at Dani.
"Dani, would you invite Ms. Lovely to have lunch with us?"
Belatedly, Dani perked up slowly and agreed, "Sure."
As long as he could be with Seraphina, he could tolerate his dad's company too.
"Ms. Lovely, would you like to go on a date with me?" Dani sweetly asked. Dani asked sweetly.
Wilson's face darkened.
A date?
This little rascal needs some discipline.
"If Ms. Lovely doesn't eat, then I won't either! And Daddy won't eat, either! We'll all starve!" Dani declared.
Wilson had no words.
Everyone else wouldn't eat. Why should he starve himself?
Seraphina hesitated slightly, unable to resist Dani's adorable, pleading expression and the intensity of Wilson's gaze fixed on her.
She gave a reluctant smile and said, "Alright, I'll reschedule my plans."
The meeting she had was real, but it wasn't important; postponing it was easy. She quickly texted Thomas to move it back.
There was a nice restaurant nearby.
They chose a table by the window instead of a private room. It had a small swing inside, adding a playful
touch.
Wilson clearly came prepared. He presented a small, simple bouquet of baby's breath, its tiny flowers blossoming beautifully as he handed it to her. 1/3

After receiving that explanation, Seraphina felt compelled to accept it.
Dani, however, quickly snatched the bouquet, his little face filled with caution and suspicion.
"Daddy, there was no old lady selling flowers at the door. Adults shouldn't lie," Dani said, frowning.
Wilson shot him a deep, helpless look. Was this really his own son?
Dani was now seriously doubting his father's intentions with Seraphina.
Maybe his father wasn't really helping him court her; he was pursuing her for himself.
Father and son locked eyes. Their playful exchange was amusing, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
Seraphina focused on peeling the shrimp. She lifted her gaze only to spot Theresa and Lucinda.
"You
you have a child already?"

Theresa's voice was shrill, her surprise so overwhelming that she forgot herself. The commotion draws stares from other patrons. Lucinda stood obediently beside Theresa, quiet and meek like a little lamb in disguise.
The moment she saw Seraphina, a flicker of excitement and resentment flashed in her eyes.
Seraphina didn't look at Lucinda. Instead, she simply raised her eyes and glanced at Theresa.
She didn't bother explaining.
Clearly, something wasn't quite right with Theresa's head.
Realizing her own blunder, Theresa quickly composed herself.
The man seated across from Seraphina was evidently wealthy-his attire and mannerisms exuded an air of sophistication.
Even the little boy had impeccable manners, his cuteness carefully controlled.
Judging by Seraphina's current status, the people she associated with were certainly not ordinary.
Still, Theresa couldn't resist the urge to mock.
"It seems I was mistaken, Seraphina. Is this your boyfriend?"
She glanced at Wilson, playing the role of an elder expecting an introduction.
According to etiquette, Wilson should have stood up to greet her.
But he had already looked at the people around Seraphina thoroughly. He knew this woman wasn't someone he needed to impress. Seraphina calmly and gracefully finished peeling the shrimp and placed it on Dani's plate.
Then che turned her to Theresa hervoice cold.

"Are we close enough for an introduction?"
Theresa's face immediately darkened.

Seraphina always knew how to get under her skin. This woman was so irritating, every moment a new reminder of how insufferable she could be. Lucinda, feeling the tension, gently tugged on Theresa's sleeve. "Theresa, let's not disturb Ms. Cross's date. We should go over there instead." Theresa glanced at Lucinda, increasingly pleased with her.
As a future daughter-in-law, family background wasn't the top requirement, but good temperament was essential.
She patted Lucinda's hand, turned back to Seraphina, and smiled coldly.
"Seraphina, if you have a boyfriend now, you should return all those things Orion gave you. Don't let people get the wrong impression that you're just a seductress going around luring men."
