Zane Crawford told her, "Serena, I like you." Serena Sterling lowered her long lashes; she knew, she had always known about Zane Crawford’s feelings for her. Being liked by the talented second son of the Crawford family would make any girl happy and excited. However, she did not have those kinds of feelings for Zane, and considering her brief marriage to Hayden Crawford, having been his sister-in-law, and now his fiancée, the feeling was strange. At this time, Summer and Iris Blue walked over, "Serena, this marriage was arranged by your mom personally. We all think the second young master of the Crawford family is great and won’t break your heart like others. You won’t hurt his feelings for those scumbags, will you?" "That’s right, Serena. Girls should look forward. We’ve paid our dues, so there are no regrets. What should be let go of should have been let go long ago. If you never open your heart and take a step forward, how would you know the in life won’t be more beautiful?" Summer and Iris Blue both disliked Hayden Crawford, especially since Hayden had married Anabelle Rathborne. They didn’t want Serena Sterling to trap herself. Serena Sterling was still young. She would meet someone better, and Zane Crawford was that someone! With these words, Serena’s slender, white fingers curled up slightly. Yes, she had always held onto Mr. Crawford tightly, unwilling to let go, but Mr. Crawford was no longer here; it was only Hayden Crawford now. Serena understood Zane’s feelings. All this time, he had silently guarded her, and during her months of disappearance, he searched all over the world, even opposing his own father, Jude Crawford, just to find her. How could she bear to hurt such a devoted Zane? Moreover, they now had an engagement, and she was his fiancée, making things even more complicated. Zane looked at Serena, his clear, cold black eyes softening a little, "Serena, I don’t want to force you into anything you don’t like. How about this, give me a chance, just three months. In these three months, be my fiancée and let’s try. I’ll work hard to make you fall in love with me. If after these three months you still can’t love me, I’ll give up and we’ll automatically end the engagement." Serena didn’t expect him to say that. He only wanted three months to try to make her love him. If she still couldn’t, he would end the engagement. He had retreated so far, placing himself in such a humble position. Serena was quite moved. She nodded, "Okay, I agree." She agreed to the three-month promise. A smile quickly appeared on Zane’s handsome face. He used the jade thumb ring, this engagement token, to win himself a chance. At least for these three months, she was his fiancée. She willingly became his fiancée. Summer and Iris Blue were very happy. They both thought highly of Zane. At this moment, Old Mrs. Rathborne approached, looking at Zane with a full smile, "Zane, who would’ve thought we have this fate? You need to work hard and strive to be my grandson-in-law!" She had not yet acknowledged Old Mrs. Rathborne as her grandmother, no! Zane looked at Serena, "Serena, come back with me to the Crawford family now. I found my fiancée and should give the family an explanation." Serena pondered for a moment. This engagement was arranged by her mom and Hayden’s mom, so the entire Crawford family, Old Mrs. Crawford, Jude Crawford, Zelda Willow, should all know her mom. Only, they didn’t know she was Seraphina Linden’s daughter. A thought stirred in Serena’s heart, feeling she had found a path her mom once walked on. She didn’t know if there were her mom’s footprints left along this path, but she had to go. "Okay, Zane, I’ll go with you," Serena nodded and agreed. At this time, Iris Blue quickly spoke up, "Second Young Master Crawford, you can take Serena back to the Crawford family, but you must protect my Serena. Your mom that person..." "Mom!" Serena quickly interrupted Iris Blue. Although Iris Blue hadn’t finished her sentence, Zane had already sensed something. He knew his mother well enough that during his absence from Aethelgard, she likely gave Serena some trouble. Zane’s handsome eyebrows and eyes became covered with a layer of cold air. He didn’t say much more, just softly said, "Serena, trust me. My mom won’t trouble you again. All these years, I’ve lived outside. Apart from going to the Crawford Residence today, we won’t see them in the future." Iris Blue nodded with satisfaction. This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship was a tricky issue. Zane’s words implied he wouldn’t let Serena suffer aggrieved. Serena didn’t need Zane to stand up for her. Last time, Zelda Willow didn’t gain any advantage either. She didn’t want to tell Zane and put him in a difficult position. However, now that she was Zane’s fiancée, her relationship with Zelda Willow had changed. Zane’s words saved a lot of trouble for her. Serena nodded, "Uh-huh, okay!" The Crawford Residence. Because Zane had called back, saying he would bring home the fiancée he found tonight, Zelda Willow had personally entered the kitchen early to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Zelda Willow was very happy, a smile lighting up her face. She looked toward Jude Crawford in the living room, "Jude, what do you think Seraphina Linden’s daughter will look like grown up?" Jude Crawford lowered his gaze to the financial newspaper in his hands, answering with a distant voice, "Probably not bad." "She must be. Back then, what a presence Seraphina Linden had. Her daughter can’t be bad, and Seraphina’s status was exceedingly noble, transcending all, coming from the Nine Provinces..." Zelda Willow abruptly stopped her words, breaking out in a cold sweat. She nearly revealed Seraphina Linden’s identity. Zelda glanced at Hayden Crawford. Hayden had already arrived and was lazily lounging on the sofa, holding his phone, seemingly indifferent to her words. Zelda then felt relieved. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet Indeed, Hayden hadn’t heard what Zelda was saying. He was fiddling with his phone, feeling restless, thinking about the Sterling family’s celebration. Would any renowned young gentlemen attend? Would Serena Sterling be on a blind date? Did she have a new romantic interest... These thoughts whirled in his mind, impossible to shake. Hayden didn’t want to care about the Sterling family celebration, but his mind kept drifting back to Serena Sterling. Just then, the "ding-dong" sound of the doorbell echoed in The Crawford Residence. Zelda quickly ran over, "It must be Zane bringing his fiancée back!" Zelda opened the main door.
