    Wilson''s Intentions


    It had rained lightly all through the night, but by the next morning, the skies had cleared, leaving a sweet freshness in the air. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    With no work scheduled for the day, Seraphina was free to manage her time as she pleased.


    When she opened her eyes, it was already past nine.


    She took her time and moved sluggishly through her morning routine-brushing her hair, getting dressed, and applying light makeup. There were no messages on her phone. She suddenly remembered that she hadn''t arranged a meeting time with Orion or Emeris yesterday.


    Feeling even less rushed now, she moved slower. Seraphina went to the balcony and practiced some yoga, allowing her body and mind topletely rx.


    By the time she walked out of her room, it was already 11 AM.


    As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard voicesing from downstairs.


    Emeris said, "Seraphina worked untiltest night and got up early this morning for a conference call. Honestly, it makes my heart ache to see her working so hard."


    Seraphina paused mid-step. The click of her high heelsing to an abrupt stop. She had only just gotten up, but now she felt guilty for sleeping in sote.


    Justin chuckled softly from where he sat, offering no furtherment.


    Orion''s voice remained calm and polite as ever.


    He responded, "Seraphina''s sesses from both talent and hard work. Her achievements today are a natural oue of that."


    cactly," Emeris eagerly agreed.


    heraphina felt troublesome and couldn''t bear to continue listening to them.


    Was this a praise session or something else?


    She couldn''t listen any longer and hurried down the stairs.


    Justin was lounging on the sofa with azy grin on his face.


    "Well, well, Ms. Seraphina, you''ve finally graced us with your presence."


    She shot him a re but ignored his teasing.


    She looked at everyone else and said, "You''re all here already? I was just on a conference call." Her voice didn''t falter, and her expression remainedposed, as if she truly had been working.


    Emeris nodded approvingly. Her response was so convincing, it was hard to tell if it was true or not. "Good morning, Ms. Cross," Ken greeted her. She hadn expected to see him here as well.

    Wilson''s Intentions


    Seraphina nodded back.

    Little Dani was sitting obediently next to Wilson. For some reason, he didn''t seem as excited as usual. It was like someone had given him a talking-to. When he saw Seraphina, his eyes lit up, but he quickly nced at Wilson and dejectedly remained seated.


    Orion checked his Patek Philippe watch and said, "It''s about time we get going."


    Little Dani jumped to his feet. He eximed, "Yes, let''s go! I''m going on a trip with Ms. Lovely!"


    Orion''s expression froze, and he asked, "You''reing too?"


    "Of course!"


    Orion turned to look at Wilson''s son with a puzzled expression. "Mr. Rockwell, you''refortable letting him travel alone?"


    Wilson frowned slightly, his voice calm but firm. "You''re right, I''m not. I''lle along as well."


    The moment the words left his mouth, everyone turned to look at him in surprise.


    Even Seraphina hadn''t expected this. He''sing along?


    I had only invited Little Danist night, not Wilson!


    Orion''s expression shifted, bing moreplicated by seconds. His eyes darkened as he stared at


    Wilson.


    He could let it slide once or twice, but now Wilson''s constant presence was beginning to feel like interference. Orion couldn''t help but feel suspicious. Wilson was a seasonal businessman. Was he genuinely unable to read the room, or was there something more to his actions?


    Orion couldn''t help but doubt his intention.


    Emeris, momentarily stunned, quickly recovered and shed his usual charming smile.


    "Well, the more, the merrier. It''s understandable that Mr. Rockwell doesn''t want to leave his young son. alone. Shall we head out, Mr. Dros?"


    Orion smiled, though it didn''t quite reach his eyes. "Sure."


    Ken stood off to the side, dumbfounded. This trip was supposed to be for Seraphina and Orion, a little family outing with Emeris tagging along to make it more of a family affair. But with Wilson and Little Daniing along, what was this turning into? Apany trip?


    Orion''s gaze softened slightly when itnded on Seraphina, the hard lines of his face casing as his lips. curled into a gentle smile.


    "Let''s go. Take a few days to rx."

    Their eyes met, and Seraphina returned the smile. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Dros, for your thoughtful nning."


    They were all so ustomed to these social games that no matter how harsh the words exchanged the night before or how tense things had been, they could act like nothing had happened when they met again the next day. Ken followed behind Orion, frowning deeply. The way things were unfolding was not what he had anticipated.
