Chapter 0050 Serenas POV +25 BONUS As I step out of the clinic , the afternoon sun blinds me fornement . Shielding my eyes , I start walking towards the bus stop . Theres a man in the distance , someone familiar , but I cant quite place him from here . I pick up my pace , curious to get a better look at the guy . As get closer , I realize who it is its Calvin . I havent seen him in a while as hes always so caught up with work Calvin ? I call out , unsure if hes noticed me yet . He turns , surprise lighting up his features . Serenal What are you doing here ? he asks , closing the distance between us with a few quick strides . Just had a check up , I reply , gesturing vaguely back at the clinic . What about you ? Everything okay ? Yeah , just visiting some family ,? Calvin says . I scan the area , hoping Calvin isnt with Elena or Claire . The last thing I need right now is an encounter with them . Noticing my anxious look , Calvin hurries to reassure me , Oh , dont worry . Im here to see my moms side of the family , not Bills . 1 let out a sigh of relief , happy to know Bills family wasnt around . Glad to see you , Calvin . You look great in normal clothes , I joke . Calvin is dressed casually today , a rare sight compared to his usual corporate attire . Hes wearing a simple , well- fitted blue t shirt that brings out the color of his eyes , paired with dark jeans that look comfortably worn in . His feet are tucked into a pair of clean , white sneakers , a stark contrast to the polished dress shoes Im used to seeing on him . Calvin chuckles , running a hand through his hair . Yeah , decided to take a break from the suits . Feels good to dress down for once . Thanks for noticing , he says . So , how was the check up ? How are you and the baby ? I smile , feeling a bit more at ease . The check up went well , thankfully . Were both doing fine , I tell him , touching my belly unconsciously . Thats great to hear . Where are you heading now ? Maybe I can drive you there , Calvin offers , his tone sincere . I shake my head , appreciating his offer but not wanting to impose . Im heading home , I appreciate the offer but you dont need to worry about me , Calvin . You might have other things to do . I can manage on my own . Calvin persists , and his concern is evident . I really dont mind , Serena . I wouldnt want you getting stressed out riding the bus , especially now . Please , let me help . After a moment of hesitation , I finally nod . Okay , Calvin , if youre sure . I really appreciate it . Thank you . We settle into Calvins car as the atmosphere shifts to one of comfortable silence . Calvin starts the engine and glances over with a smile . Seatbelt on ? he asks , making sure Im secured before we pull away from the clinic . Yeah , all set , I reply , clicking the seatbelt into place . The car hums softly as we merge into the afternoon traffic , the city passing by in a blur of colors and shapes . You know , its been a while since we last caught up , Calvin says , breaking the silence . How have you been , aside from the baby and the business ? Chapter 0050 +25 BONUS Well , when Stevie and I manage to find some free time , we hang out . Believe it or not , Ive started making content on TikTok for my business , 1 say . Calvin raises an eyebrow , a playful grin spreading across his face . TikTok , huh ? Thats so Gen Z of you . Ill have to check out your content sometime . I cant help but smile at his reaction . Yeah , its a bit out of my comfort zone , but its been fun , I say . The quiet stretches between us , giving me a moment to thick . Suddenly , I remember . Calvin , last time we met , you were about to say something but had to leave early . What was It ? I ask , turning toward him . Calvin seems caught off guard by my question , hesitating for a moment . You know , as much as I want to tell you , I just dont think this is the right place for it , he finally admits a hint of regret in his voice . Oh , I respond , a bit disappointed . Whats the right place or time for it then ? Calvin turns slightly , his expression hopeful . Actually , theres this jewelry exhibition next weekend at the city gallery . Its a showcase of local artisans and some international pieces too . I thought it might be right up your alley , especially with your shop and all . Would you be interested in going with me ? My face lights up at the mention of the exhibition . That sounds amazing , Calvin . Its the perfect opportunity for me to get some inspiration for my shop . Id love to go with you . Calvins smile widens . Awesome … so its a date then ? Did I hear Calvin correctly ? Are you asking me out ? I ask , a bit surprised . We can go as friends … for now , Calvin replies , a secretive smile playing on his lips . Dont think about it too much , he adds .
