Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 Have They Gotten This Far Already? 

Emeris noticed a change in Wilson’s usual attitude toward Seraphina. 

For the outsider, Wilson was a catch in every way, but for the Crosses, there were still a few things that needed to be considered. 

For instance, having a child was a dealbreaker. 

Mentioning Dani was both polite and a subtle warning. 

Yet Wilson didn’t seem bothered by this. 

“You and Seraphina are friends,” Emeris said, his voice carrying a hint of expectation. “You should help keep an eye out for someone suitable for her. How can we be at ease if she’s on her own?” 

Wilson smiled naturally, a subtle and calm expression on his face. “Ms. Cross is such a remarkable woman. I’m sure many people admire her. However, only a select few would truly be able to stand by her side. From what I see, Ms. Cross enjoys being with her family. You’ve certainly treated her like a princess. No matter how ideal someone else might seem, no one can compare to the care and warmth of her own family.” 

Emeris raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased by Wilson’s words. 

That statement struck a chord within him. 

He nodded repeatedly, clearly satisfied. “Exactly. The whole family always put her needs first. If she’s happy, we’re happy.” 

This statement solidified Seraphina’s position as the rightful heir to the Crosses. 

Sivir, without raising his head, showed no interest in the topic. 

While Seraphina continued eating her fish with a focused attention that mirrored her brother’s. 

Her concentration while eating was almost identical to Sivir’s–it was simple to see that they were siblings! 

This moment was a clear reflection of the family’s harmonious atmosphere, a rarity among such powerful families. 

Wilson glanced down with a smile as he continued chatting in agreement with Emeris. 

Meanwhile, Orion had been waiting for a while outside the Cross Group’s building, hoping to accidentally run into Seraphina. 

His phone buzzed, and it was Lucius sending him an Instagram post. 

The image showed Emeris, Sivir, Seraphina, and Wilson dining together. 

The image gave off relaxed and joyful vibes. 

Emeris, being the elder, made no effort to conceal his affection for Wilson.

Chapter 385 Have They Gotten This Far Already? 

The scene looked rather harmonious. 

“Orion, they’re already meeting the family,” Lucius messaged. “You’ve made no progress. Should I introduce you to someone else?” 

Meet the family? 

Orion’s expression immediately darkened, his hand tightening around the steering wheel. 

His whole demeanor turned cold. 

Finished 

In that moment, jealousy and anger surged through him, almost overwhelming him. The thought of storming in and taking Seraphina away flashed through his mind. 

His heart raced, and a crazy thought crossed his mind. He wanted to snatch her away and hide her somewhere only he could see her. 

Otherwise, there would always be other men hovering around her. None of them would sit right with him. 

No matter how long he had been acting the part of a gentleman, he couldn’t suppress his true nature. 

Under the surface, he was anything but tame. 

If he waited any longer, she could potentially marry someone else without his knowledge. 

No. I could wait no more. 

He sent Seraphina a message and drove straight to her apartment, where he waited. 

She would show up eventually. 

Just as she was about to finish her meal, Seraphina glanced at her phone and saw the message Orion had sent about an hour ago. 

“The maid found a USB drive while cleaning your old room. I think it’s yours. I’m waiting for you at your apartment.” 

A flicker of suspicion crossed her mind. Did she leave a USB behind? 

She hadn’t noticed. 

But if it contained company data, she couldn’t afford to leave it lying around. 

Seraphina quickly excused herself from the gathering and left. 

Her apartment had been unused for a while, but the cleaning staff made sure it stayed in pristine condition. 

Still, she couldn’t figure out why Orion insisted on meeting her there. 

As she approached the complex, she spotted a familiar Bentley parked outside.
