A Couple Made In Dreams

Chapter 34: The Truth

Looking at him, not moving away her gaze, Serena started to feel uncertain.

She didn't like this at all. It was like using him to become a weapon to fight and something to boast out, and it was when he didn't know it was happening.

Dawn detected her change in expression and nervously asked: "Serena, you wouldn't want to escape before the battle!"

What escape before the battle? She didn't know what time she was in a war!

Serena stared irritably at her, a bit depressed. They were clearly coming to eat, but after they did this, the innocent dinner wasn't innocent anymore.

Whatever, just pretend those people don't exist. It was just eating in the same place. Thinking this way, Serena reminded her friends "When you get in, just eat and don't talk."

That wasn't right. French food was expensive. She added: "You can't eat too much!"

As Ash came closer, he heard Serena talking fiercely. And then he looked at her self-taught tyrannical expression and for the first time ever, he felt that he had nothing he could say.

Dawn took the chance to complain: "Senior Ash, look at your Serena."

This was too pleasing to hear, Ash was happy. He turned to glance at Dawn, properly memorizing her, and then followed up her words to teach Serena: "nobody else in the world would take care of guests the way you do."

May and the others started laughing.

Chloe also got brave and said to Ash: "But Senior, Serena said this, we're too afraid to order now."

Ash's smile reached his ears: "No problem, at least for now, my wallet doesn't belong to Serena."

May happily said: "Then we have to take advantage and eat now. If we're too late, then Serena would be controlling Senior Ash's wallet. Then we wouldn't be able to even get to eat picked vegetables!"

They were cheerfully chatting but Serena didn't speak, only looked at the person beside her.

His fine and handsome brows still carried the indifference and pride he was born with, but the distance between him and her friends seemed to have disappeared. Serena didn't find it strange. He was like this. As long as he had a bit of patience, he could easily integrate with any group.

When they had been on the car, Serena hadn't noticed. He was wearing a very proper white shirt, almost like he had just come out of negotiations. It probably was the truth. He came over right after the flight to take them to dinner. He probably didn't even have the time to change.

Serena didn't know why, but her chest seemed heavy and suffocated.

She didn't want to think what type of thoughts Master had when he was rushing over. But, he definitely thought it was an innocent dinner. He wouldn't know there were other aims.

The heaviness seemed to get more suffocating.

They were walking towards the restaurant as they talked. Serena suddenly stopped and pulled on Ash's sleeve.

"Don't go in."

The moment the words came out, Serena's heart relaxed, like a clear wind had blown across. Even the unhappiness that that accumulated from the previous days as well as the uneasiness at seeing Miette instantly disappeared.

Yes, she just didn't want to go in. She didn't want to go eat for some honor, nor to aggravate others. She just wanted to quietly, peacefully with her friends, and him who she hadn't seen in several days, eat together.
