“I prefer a quiet environment. Someone wille to clean up the house every two days,” Dashiell
loosened his tie and said. “I’m going to take a shower. You can take a rest first. There’s an empty
cloakroom inside, and you can put everything in it.” After saying that, Dashiell entered the room.
Seraphina felt relieved when she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. She needed
some time to adjust to this unfamiliar environment.
The vi was spa c ious, with three floors, and the top floor seemed to be an attic. It wasn’t very tall but
covered arge area.
The whole interior decoration had a cool color scheme, with simple and clean lines, just like Dashiell
himself, who was cold and capable.
Seraphina entered the vi with her bag and was stunned by the size of the walk-in closet. It wasrge
enough to be used as a small bedroom. Apart from two wardrobes. filled with men’s clothes, the rest of
the space was empty.
Seraphina didn’t have much luggage. She hung her clothes one by one and then took out a small bag
containing important documents.
Her ID card, diplomas, and other documents were all in there. But when Seraphina opened the bag,
she realized that the marriage license she had received yesterday was missing.
Seraphina thought, ‘Dashiell must have taken the marriage license and its copy. Where did he put
them? I’ll have to ask him about itter.’
Just then, her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was Julian calling.
Recently, Julian had been calling Seraphina more frequently than ever before.
Seraphina reluctantly answered the call and saidzily, “Hello?”
“Seraphina, where are you?” Julian asked.
Seraphina thought, ‘He sounds like an interrogator. Does he still think I’m that obedient?’
“Since when do you care so much about my whereabouts, Mr. Brown?” Seraphina replied sarcastically,
then ced the bag with her documents in the drawer.
Julian was provoked by Seraphina’s tone. “Seraphina, can’t you speak nicer?”

“I believe I’ve been speaking quite nicely. If you don’t think so, you can find someone else to talk to who
can be nice.”
Seraphina left the walk-in closet while still on the phone and happened to see Dashiell, who had just
finished showering.
Dashiell’s hair was still wet, and he was only wearing arge white bath towel around his waist. The
shape of his upper b*dy was perfect. He casually nced at Seraphina and noticed she was on the
phone. Without saying anything, he approached her.
Upon seeing Dashiell getting closer, Seraphina’s breathing slowed down, and she almost forgot to
breathe.
Julian was still shouting on the phone, “What are you talking about? I’ve exined it to you at the
Seraphina, don’t be foolish. They’re trying to create discord between us! We’ve been together for so
many years. We should know each other well. Don’t you know how good I am to you? Don’t be
childish. There’s nothing between Vivian and me. Ouch… Stop overthinking. If you have time,e to

now.”
There seemed to be a faint sound of pain. Although Julian quickly concealed it, Seraphina still heard it.
Seraphina thought, ‘Looks like Vivian is still with him now, and she must be very angry with what Julian
said. Julian is truly unbelievable. How can he flirt with Vivian while saying sweet words to me? It’s truly
disgusting.
Seraphina wasn’t in the mood to interact with Julian and didn’t have time for it. She waspletely
captivated by the man in front of her.
Dashiell stood in front of Seraphina. They were so close that she could almost count the droplets on his
chest.
Dashiell’s tanned skin and strong muscles made Seraphina almost want to reach out
and touch him.
Seraphina swallowed subconsciously.
“Seraphina, Seraphina?”
Julian didn’t hear any response, so he suspected that Seraphina had hung up the phone and continued
calling her name.
Meanwhile, Seraphina widened her eyes and watched as Dashiell’s tall figure leaned towards her. His
handsome face was getting closer and closer.

Seraphina held her breath, and then….
Just as their lips were about to meet, Dashiell suddenly turned aside and k*ssed Seraphina’s cheek
near her ear. Then he straightened up and went straight into the walk-in closet.
With a tter, Seraphina’s phone slipped from her hand and rolled on the carpet.
Fortunately, there was a carpet on the floor, otherwise the phone would have been damaged.
Poor Julian was still waiting for Seraphina’s response on the other end of the phone, so he was
shocked by the sound. Then he quickly put away the phone.
After feeling better, Julian immediately shouted, “Seraphina! What the hell are you doing? Are you
listening to me at all?”

Seraphina squatted down and picked up her phone. She calmly wiped her phone, ensuring it wasn’t
damaged. Then she said, “Mr. Brown, please get straight to the point.”
“You…”
Julian suppressed his anger and told himself to endure Seraphina’s temperament until everything was
resolved.
“Well, the press conference I mentioned earlier is scheduled for tonight. Come to thepany and
we’ll go together. We need to coordinate our statements and try to get this incident over quickly to
minimize the negative impact on thepany.”
Seraphina sneered. “And what about the negative impact on me?”
Julian remained silent for a moment before softly saying, “Sera, you know how much this incident has
affected ourpany. You and I have put so much effort into Prosperian Company. You don’t want
anything to happen to it, do you? Listen to me. Just bear with it this time. After this incident, our
married, alright?”
Seraphina thought, ‘Get married? Ha! The same excuse once again. Julian always uses it to coax me.
But I don’t care about it anymore!’
“Alright, then.” Seraphina paused for a while as if she had been persuaded. “You’re right. I have put a
lot of effort into thepany, and I don’t want anything to go wrong with
it.”
Seraphina thought, ‘But I can also take back my efforts! If I can build it up little by little, I can also tear it
down.’
Upon hearing that, Julian breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thene to the

After hanging up the phone, Seraphina stood up and saw that Dashiell had changed into his nightwear
and was ready to go to bed.
“I’m going out.” Seraphina said bluntly. “The press conference is scheduled for tonight.”
With Dashiell’s abilities and power, he would find out whether Seraphina told him or not, so it was
better to be honest with him.

“No rush. It’s still early. Rest for a while first,” Dashiell said casually and then slowly approached
Seraphina. “I’ve adjusted the water temperature, and all the items. you are prepared. During this critical
time, you need to rest well to have enough energy.”
