Julian Lawson remembered his promise to Vera Hansen about having lunch together. So he replied, "I’ll be a bit late. I have dinner plans with Vera." Ian Yates replied shortly after, "Alright, alright, your Vera is the priority, la la la~ I’ve booked a private room at PIH, let’s celebrate your first day of divorce with a bang." "Okay." Julian replied. But after putting down the phone, another thought crossed his mind. On the first day of divorce, what was Serena Sterling up to? Julian glanced at the time. At this moment, Serena should be picking up Seraphina from school. Then, she’d take her back to the rented apartment and cook dinner for her. Tomato beef rice? Shaped like a big-eared dog? It seems Seraphina really loves that character. Unconsciously, Julian pressed the intercom, and Secretary Chaucer came in. "President Lawson." Secretary Chaucer said respectfully. "Look into Sanrio’s collaboration terms and buy more merchandise for research," Julian said calmly, lightly tapping his fingers on the desk. Secretary Chaucer opened his mouth but swallowed his words, only saying, "Yes." "Then, after the research, send it to the kindergarten where Seraphina is," Julian said, "Understood?" "Understood, President Lawson. The best use will be sending the merchandise to all the kids at the kindergarten." Secretary Chaucer said. Seraphina wouldn’t accept his gifts, so if he wanted to give her something, this was the only way. Reflecting on everything, Julian felt a bit dazed. The marriage just ended like that. He had thought Serena would cry and make a scene, or refuse to divorce, dragging it out for a few rounds before it was finalized. He scrolled through his messages with Serena, but the last messages were still the ones he had sent, left unanswered. He remembered last night, when he asked if she loved him, her answer was "I do." So, had she learned to be mature, or was she just sulking? Serena had already taken Seraphina home. The mother and daughter were having dinner. When Vera came to meet Julian for dinner, Serena was giving Seraphina a bath. When Vera and Julian sat down at the restaurant, Serena finished tidying up Seraphina and drove her to a location. Then Serena parked the car and took a taxi to PIH. Since there might be some drinking, driving wasn’t convenient. Because she had to take care of a child, Serena arrived a little late. When Serena opened the door and came in, Bianca Lynch was singing and dancing hysterically. This startled Serena. Ethan Lynch frowned from the side, helplessly watching his sister. "Serena, you’re here!" Bianca noticed Serena, stopped, and walked over with a smile. She even pushed a few handsome guys Serena didn’t know towards her. "Look, the cute guys you called for," Bianca said with a laugh. Even Jasper Ford looked speechless. "Joy..." Serena hadn’t had a chance to speak when Bianca pinched her a little. "I thought my brother wouldn’t come." Bianca said in a low voice, "I heard he was on night shift but didn’t expect him to switch shifts with a colleague. Bestie, help me, or my brother will kill me!" "Bianca!" Ethan was really furious, "You’re holding a microphone, whispering as if I’m deaf?" "Oh no, bestie! I’m doomed!" Bianca wailed. Serena found it amusing. What a character.

Justin Jennings couldn’t make it today, so Quinn apologized on his behalf. Jasper came over from the side and poured her a drink. "So, how does it feel on your first day of divorce?" Jasper smiled as he asked. "Honestly, it’s..." Serena took the drink, downed a large sip, and said, "Fantastic!" Everyone laughed together. The few handsome guys also stayed since they were already called. Performing some talents to liven up the atmosphere wasn’t a bad idea. "I’m just curious." Bianca’s wails filled the room, "Brother, I won’t dare next time." "You still dare to have a next time!" Ethan chased Bianca around the room. While they were messing around, Ian Yates happened to pass by outside. The door wasn’t fully closed, leaving a small gap, allowing the noises inside to be heard. Listening to the clamor inside, Ian said to the person beside him, "It’s quite lively inside." The person next to him nodded in agreement with a smile. Ian didn’t pay much attention and just led the person to the adjoining private room. He walked while checking his phone, wanting to ask if Julian was done eating. But before he could send a message, a gossip alert popped up—— #JulianLawsonVeraHansenCandlelightDinner# Ian clicked to see and laughed, "Hey, quite romantic." In another private room. Serena watched them play around. She closed the door, sat on the sofa, and let out a long breath. "It’s such a rare relaxation today." Serena said, taking another sip. The worries in her heart finally eased a bit, allowing her to temporarily forget some of her troubles. Jasper nodded in agreement and sat beside her, "I think the same, but today is just temporary. After the ’Heavenly Sound’ finale, we should take Seraphina for some nice outing." Serena nodded, thinking it was a good idea. But first, Seraphina needed to have her surgery and recover properly. However, today she didn’t want to think about these things. All worries were to be set aside for tonight, she wanted to be happy. "Let’s go dance." Serena suggested. Jasper smiled, "Sure." The two headed to the downstairs dance floor. The place was crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and in the dim lights, everyone danced to their heart’s content. Around the dance floor were some booths, and at that time, someone watched the people in the dance floor and sprayed their drink out with a "pff" sound. "Hey, what are you doing!" the people nearby exclaimed. "Look who’s that?" that person pointed to Serena who was smiling and dancing, saying, "Isn’t that Julian Lawson’s wife, Serena Sterling?" The crowd got interested. Following his finger, they looked and indeed saw that it was Serena. "Julian Lawson and Serena Sterling have quite the adventurous lifestyle!" someone commented. "Isn’t that right, Julian with Vera having a candlelight dinner, while Serena is here at PIH dancing! Isn’t the guy next to her Jasper Ford?" another gossiper added. The enthusiasm of the gossipers was unlimited. Meanwhile, Julian’s car just stopped under Vera’s apartment. He planned to meet Ian after dropping Vera off. But Vera didn’t seem eager to get out of the car. "Brother Julian." Vera shyly said. Julian looked at her. "Would you like to come inside for a bit?" Vera blushed as she said expectantly, "Now that you’ve separated from her, so we could..."
