Chapter 324 Not the Right Time
Seraphina noticed that she still had some time before meeting her classmate, so she decided to go shopping for gifts.
As she stepped out onto the street and stood at the traffic light, she turned to glance at Wilson.
“Mr. Rockwell, if you have other things to attend to, feel free to go,” she said.
Wilson frowned and asked, “Aren’t you heading back to the castle?”
“I need to buy some gifts this afternoon, and I have a class reunion in the evening,” Seraphina explained.
Wilson nodded in understandi
He said, “I have a client to meet as well. I’ll take my leave, then.”
They exchanged polite goodbyes without any unnecessary formality.
Once Wilson left, Ken eagerly approached. He was holding an umbrella that had somehow appeared in his hand, which he now held over Seraphina’s head.
“Ms. Cross, where are we going next?” He asked with enthusiasm.
“The mall.”
Seraphina knew the area well, so she didn’t need a map. She headed straight for the shopping mall.
As she walked, her phone buzzed repeatedly with notifications. She glanced at it briefly.
Oh, it’s Olivia!
“Why haven’t you responded to my messages? Are you with Wilson?”
Seraphina didn’t reply and instead opened her app. Seraphina saw over 200 unread messages and countless notifications from her social media.
What on earth?
Why is everyone asking about Wilson?
Hansen wrote, “So, are you with Wilson now? Ready to be someone’s stepmom? Look, I want you to be happy, but maybe you should consider being with me instead!”
Sarah texted, “Wilson is fine, and he’s a good fling, but don’t take it seriously! Come on, old men can’t compare to young hunks, right?”
Justin asked, “Are you giving up on your harem? The whole entertainment industry is full of men who’d be your backup! You need to think carefully!”
Sivir rebuked, “Money is king. Who needs feelings?”

Chapter 324 Not the Right Time
a single photo? What does a photo represent?
Just then, Olivia called.
Seraphina casually answered.
+5 Pearls
“Seraphina, is it true? You’re not really into Wilson, are you? Orion’s not great, but isn’t a single man better?*
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh. Seraphina raised her eyebrows and spoke nonchalantly while walking.
“It’s just one photo! You guys are being too dramatic.”
“What? So it’s not true? Why were the two of you taking a photo? I thought you were doing it to make Orion furious!” Olivia teased.
“Now that you mention it, it would be a great way to annoy him,” Seraphina responded, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
Olivia paused. She realized what Seraphina was implying. While they weren’t together now, it didn’t mean they wouldn’t be in the future.
So, Olivia played along.
“I see. Well, everyone thinks you’re dating Wilson. And, well, Wilson isn’t bad either–he’s on par with Orion. Too bad he comes with baggage.”
“I’m kidding! Don’t spread rumors. I’ll delete the photo later to avoid any unnecessary trouble.”
“Alright, I’ll spread the word and tell everyone to shut up!” Olivia chirped excitedly.
“But honestly, you two look amazing together in that photo! Even couples in the dramas don’t create this kind of chemistry. Wilson isn’t a bad choice, is he? He’s handsome, right? Won’t it be nice to date someone like him?”
Seraphina chuckled lightly and asked, “Should I introduce him to you?”
“No, thanks. I can’t handle a man like him,” Olivia responded, not even daring to imagine it. She lacked the confidence.
If someone as sharp as Seraphina could be reduced to a mess by someone like Orion, Olivia figured she wouldn’t even know what hit her when shit happened.
She’d much rather find a nice, stable match for a marriage alliance.
“But why did you agree to travel with Orion? He’s obviously up to no good,” Olivia asked curiously.
