CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: ADMITTING THEY ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE

"Isn’t this exactly the same as my goddess’s car!" Patrick Rhodes exclaimed in surprise, "But my goddess’s car is a modified racing car, Serena Jennings can’t compare."

The white BMW 3 Series sped off, the temporary license plate on the glass was unclear under the night sky.

Claire Shaw noticed that Caleb Lockwood was constantly staring in the direction Serena Jennings’s car had gone, the surprise in his eyes seemingly glowed under the streetlights.

"Serena drives pretty well!" Claire Shaw proactively expressed Caleb Lockwood’s thoughts.

"Just average!"

Caleb Lockwood remarked indifferently.

"Yes, yes, just average, my goddess is still the best." Patrick Rhodes chimed in from the side.

The three exchanged quick farewells, Patrick Rhodes drove his own car, while Caleb Lockwood and Claire Shaw were together.

The emperor blue Bentley sped away, going in the opposite direction of the white BMW.

After buying the car, Serena Jennings became busier.

Days on end, she was busy searching for a suitable location for her studio.

Too remote wouldn’t do, and she couldn’t afford one in the city center.

Finally, it was Matthew Lowell, the investor, who introduced her to a good place.

Azure Tower is located around the high-tech industrial park, although its location is not as prestigious as the CBD, because it’s close to the industrial park, commuting is more convenient, and the environment is very nice.

The most important thing is that Matthew Lowell knows someone and offered her a discount.

Serena Jennings was very tempted, but the only drawback was—

The Lockwood Group is located within the industrial park, and she didn’t want her studio to be too close to the Lockwood Group.

Guided by Matthew Lowell, Serena Jennings spent the whole morning looking at office buildings and was unable to make a decision.

For lunch, she chose a very stylish restaurant outside the industrial park.

It was a bit expensive, but since Matthew Lowell helped her so much, treating him to something good was right and proper.

Just after Serena Jennings and Matthew Lowell walked into the restaurant, she saw Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood was alone.

Serena Jennings thought Caleb Lockwood had arranged to meet someone for a meal here, but instead, Caleb Lockwood walked straight toward her.

"What a coincidence."

Standing by the table, Caleb Lockwood took the initiative to greet Serena Jennings.

Serena Jennings was momentarily awkward.

She didn’t want Caleb Lockwood around while she was dining with her investor.

"Is Claire Shaw not with you?"

Instinctively, she glanced behind Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb Lockwood replied without changing his expression, "Are she and I conjoined twins?"

Serena Jennings was speechless.

In her memory, wherever Caleb Lockwood was, Claire Shaw would inevitably be there too.

Caleb Lockwood scanned Matthew Lowell lightly and asked Serena Jennings, "Mind if I join you?"

"And if I mind?" Serena Jennings stiffened her face, using a warning look at Caleb Lockwood.

Regardless of whether Caleb Lockwood knew she had ventured out to start her own studio, she was aware Caleb Lockwood fundamentally didn’t support her working independently.

So, it’s possible Caleb Lockwood intentionally wanted to disrupt her project.

"Then just tolerate it." Caleb Lockwood naturally pulled open the chair and sat beside Serena Jennings.

The originally two-person table now turned into three.

A bit cramped.

Serena Jennings looked displeased, secretly observing Matthew Lowell, worried to upset the investor.

However, Caleb Lockwood openly asked, "Aren’t you going to introduce me?"

"This is Matthew Lowell, my angel investor."

Serena Jennings candidly stated.

Caleb Lockwood smiled slightly, extended his hand to him, "Hello, I’m Caleb Lockwood, Serena Jennings’s husband."

Matthew Lowell’s eyes widened, but his facial management was quite good, and he immediately shook hands with Caleb Lockwood.

"Hello President Lockwood, I’ve long admired your name."

Matthew Lowell knew Caleb Lockwood.

But Matthew Lowell didn’t know Caleb Lockwood was Serena Jennings’s husband.

So...

Did Justin Nash know about this?

Matthew Lowell pondered.

If Justin Nash didn’t know, then all his efforts in pursuing Serena Jennings amounted to nothing.

If Justin Nash knew...

Then he was pursuing a married woman?

And the woman was Caleb Lockwood’s wife.

This...

It was shocking!

Matthew Lowell wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Serena Jennings was surprised beside him.

In the three years of marriage, this was the first time Caleb Lockwood had proactively acknowledged their relationship outside of necessary occasions.

Serena Jennings felt Caleb Lockwood was plotting something.

Outside the restaurant.

When Mr. Miller saw Caleb Lockwood pull out a chair to sit beside Serena Jennings, he knew Caleb Lockwood’s meal with Mr. Sun wasn’t going to happen.

Although Mr. Sun’s status was vastly inferior compared to Caleb Lockwood, Caleb Lockwood was originally scheduled to have a meal with him this noon.

When he accompanied Caleb Lockwood out of the company, Caleb Lockwood hadn’t changed his mind.

But when Caleb Lockwood saw a white BMW 3 Series at the entrance of this restaurant, things changed.

Mr. Miller watched Caleb Lockwood stop by this car and, after a moment, entered the restaurant.

Seeing Caleb Lockwood had no intention of leaving, Mr. Miller immediately contacted Mr. Sun to cancel the lunch.

Inside the restaurant, Matthew Lowell found an excuse to leave early.

He needed to consider whether to inform Justin Nash about this.

He also didn’t want to have lunch in such a pressure-filled atmosphere.

Serena Jennings escorted Matthew Lowell to the restaurant door, arranging to eat together another day.

After Matthew Lowell left, Serena Jennings also lost her appetite.

She felt Caleb Lockwood had ruined her chance to strengthen her relationship with the investor.

However, Caleb Lockwood called her back, saying he had something to tell her.

Serena Jennings sat back next to Caleb Lockwood, waiting for him to speak.

But Caleb Lockwood first summoned a waiter to order, getting a Royal Black Truffle Filet Steak set for both himself and her.

"What do you want to talk about?" Serena Jennings couldn’t help but ask.

"Let’s eat first." Caleb Lockwood said.

"I’m not hungry."

Just after Serena Jennings spoke, her stomach gave an untimely growl.

Caleb Lockwood didn’t laugh at her, but his eyes squinted slightly, displaying a kind of ambiguous teasing.

Feeling watched by Caleb Lockwood, Serena Jennings was uncomfortable all over.

Even just being alone with Caleb Lockwood during broad daylight in the restaurant, she felt tension like a stretched spring.

The steak arrived, with a tempting aroma.

Serena Jennings couldn’t resist eating.

She hadn’t really eaten properly these days due to her busy schedule.

"You’ve lost weight."

A light, fleeting remark brushed her eardrum; Serena Jennings looked up, seeing Caleb Lockwood elegantly cutting his steak, looking picturesque.

She must have misheard him!

Serena Jennings lowered her eyelids.

Caleb Lockwood couldn’t possibly care about her.

And having her heart race because of Caleb Lockwood’s casual concern was even more unthinkable.

Seeing the meal set almost finished, Serena Jennings finally awaited Caleb Lockwood’s serious talk.

"Are you starting your own company?"

"Yes..."

"Don’t do it."

The knife and fork in Serena Jennings’s hand clattered onto the plate.
