Chapter 118: Chapter 118

It seemed that only after hearing this sentence could he be certain that his heart was at peace.

Julian Lawson had left this place.

Later, he went to many other places.

Finally, he stopped at the entrance of the kindergarten.

He didn’t get out, just watched from a distance the children playing in the kindergarten.

Seraphina was very quiet, merely drawing with her friends by the side.

Looking at this, Julian Lawson felt a calmness in his heart.

Serena Sterling, wearing a mask, was discussing the performance costumes for the final of "Heavenly Sound" with the designer.

Just then, her phone rang.

"Sorry." Serena said, taking out her phone.

It was a call from Julian Lawson.

Serena’s heart was suddenly gripped tightly.

Today was the 30th day of the divorce cooling-off period, they should get the certificate tomorrow, why is he calling now?

Could it be... he has changed his mind?

If that’s the case, then what should she... do?

In that moment, Serena thought of many things, until the ringtone was almost over, she finally pressed the answer button.

Serena walked out of the room and onto the outside corridor.

"What’s the matter?" Serena asked.

"Let’s have dinner together tonight." Julian’s voice came, he said, "Bring Seraphina along, I’ve made a reservation at the restaurant."

Serena slightly frowned, she initially wanted to refuse, but then thought that at this point, there shouldn’t be any complications.

Thinking of this, she said, "Why?"

"Serena." He suddenly called her , "We are getting our divorce certificate tomorrow, and in the next few months, there might not be any such occasions for us to gather together."

Serena looked up at the modern art painting on the corridor wall.

Did he mean a farewell meal?

Serena was contemplating whether to go or not.

Julian on the other end also remained silent, both sides were quiet.

In the end, Julian said, "For the last time."

"Serena, after we have this meal, until we remarry, if there aren’t any urgent matters, I won’t actively seek out you and Seraphina."

Serena’s lips pressed slightly tighter.

"Julian Lawson, you better keep your word." She said. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovєlFіre.net

She wouldn’t remarry Julian, so if he could keep this promise, this would be a truly meaningful parting meal.

"I will keep my word." Julian said softly.

Saying that, Julian sent the time and place to Serena before hanging up the phone.

He looked at the kindergarten not far outside his car window.

In truth, he didn’t even know why he was doing this.

Vera would die in a few months, and by that time, he would remarry Serena.

And he also needed some strength to support those days ahead.

Julian looked up, inside, Seraphina was still drawing, she was painting with her friend, looking very happy.

He couldn’t help but smile gently.

On the other side, Serena frowned deeply.

After thinking for a bit, she called Bianca Lynch to tell her about this.

"Who knows about him." Bianca was resting today, she said while eating fruit at home, "As long as he’s willing to get the divorce certificate with you tomorrow, it’s fine."

Serena thought that was true.

"Now I’m just worried that this time he’s asking you over to make you change your mind, that would be a real problem." Bianca said.

"Change my mind?" Serena thought this was simply ridiculous, Vera was still waiting.

"But I think the possibility is very small." Bianca said, putting down what she was holding and picking up the remote, "If there’s any sign of that, then just firmly refuse."

"I remember you had a backup plan before, if he refuses to divorce, then file for divorce in court."

"If worst comes to worst, use that."

Listening to Bianca’s words, Serena felt it made sense too.

She just didn’t understand the meaning behind Julian Lawson’s actions.

"Men, he might just want to lament the past, which is normal, and didn’t he want to wait until Vera dies to remarry you? He probably wants to keep you steady, so you don’t run away." Bianca analyzed insightfully.

Serena nodded, that made sense too.

"By the way, you’re not going to remarry him, right?" Bianca immediately straightened up.

"How’s that possible." Serena said, looking at a painting nearby, "Joy, that day in the hospital staircase, my heart was already dead."

Bianca sighed a long sigh, quickly saying, "It’s my bad, I shouldn’t have brought it up again."

"It’s okay, I have Seraphina." Serena replied.

"Mm-hmm, anyway, just handle it calmly first, I’m afraid if you don’t go, he will make trouble tomorrow." Bianca instructed, "I’ll have my brother watch nearby, if there’s any issue, just call him."

After hanging up the phone, Serena saw there was still some time left, so she continued discussing the performance costumes with the designer.

This time, the costumes were a bit complicated, many details had to be perfect.

"Thank you for your hard work." Finally reaching an agreement, Serena said, "I’ll be counting on you this time."

"Don’t worry." The other party replied with a smile.

They had worked together for four shows already, and both sides were very satisfied with each other.

This was mutual accomplishment.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Serena saw that it was about time, so she changed her clothes and went to pick up Seraphina from school.

Soon, Serena’s car arrived at the kindergarten.

Seraphina was waiting inside.

"Aunt Winters!" Seraphina called out immediately.

Serena scooped her up in a hug.

"Seraphina, Aunt Winters has a question for you." Serena looked at Seraphina and said, "Julian Lawson has invited us for a farewell meal, do you want to go?"

If Seraphina didn’t want to go, then she would refuse.

"What do you think, Aunt Winters?" Seraphina neither agreed nor objected.

Serena looked into Seraphina’s eyes and said, "I just want to see if you’d like to, if not, then we won’t go."

"Did he say something to you?" Seraphina suddenly asked sneakily.

It was the first time Serena saw this expression on Seraphina, and it made her laugh straight away.

"Yes." Serena nodded and shared Julian Lawson’s promise of not actively seeking them out in the future.

Seraphina suddenly understood.

"Then I’ll go." Seraphina said with a smile, "Just think of it as playing with the neighbor’s kid for one night."

"Seraphina is so good." Serena kissed Seraphina’s forehead.

Seraphina also kissed Serena’s cheek.

The two of them were being affectionate when suddenly a large shadow loomed over them.

They both looked up, then saw Julian Lawson standing beside them.

The smile on the mother and daughter’s faces gradually disappeared.

Julian felt a bit sad.

But he still greeted the little girl warmly, "Seraphina."

Seraphina thought for a moment, then replied, "Uncle."

Julian nodded slightly.

He stood straight and looked at Serena, "Let’s go."

Serena also nodded, taking Seraphina’s hand and walking towards the car.

"Take my car." Julian suggested.

Serena just gave him a cold glance.

The scene where Seraphina was frightened while in Julian’s car last time was still vividly in her mind.

"Julian Lawson, I will never let Seraphina ride in your car again."

Julian was slightly stunned, then nodded, without saying anything further.

They started the car and hit the road.

The two cars stopped outside the largest seaside restaurant in Aeston.

Serena got out of the car holding Seraphina’s hand and met up with Julian.

The group entered the restaurant together, as soft chimes rang.

It was already 5 p.m.
