Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 I Already Have a Boyfriend 

Bruce had been quietly sitting off to the side, almost like a piece of furniture. Though he felt a bit awkward, he didn’t overly try to assert himself. 

Seraphina paused for a moment before asking, “By the way, how did you meet Lucius’s ex–wife?” 

Since that unforgettable wedding, Seraphina has been curious about it. 

Sarah responded, “She used to attend some events as Lucius’s wife, but I believe he often overlooked her because he didn’t treat her seriously. I felt sorry for her, so we ended up getting to know each other.” 

Seraphina nodded, understanding the situation. 

“That does sound quite pityful.” 

“I know you’re helping her law firm with some promotions. That’s kind of you, but you need to be careful. If things go wrong, it might backfire on you,” Sarah cautioned. 

Seraphina smiled lightly; it was a remark she could only make as a friend. 

“Don’t worry; I’ve prepared for it.” 

Just as they were chatting, Justin emerged from the kitchen, carrying a plate of perfectly seared steak. 

His white shirt highlighted his handsome, gentle demeanor, accentuating his striking features and the well–defined muscles in his arms. 

Seraphina couldn’t help but shake her head and say, “My brother’s face is truly mesmerizing–it’s like he’s out to charm every woman. Why isn’t he a two–hundred–pound bald guy?” 

Sarah chuckled at her comment. 

Justin gave her a quick glance before lowering his apron. He asked, “Is my appearance such a disappointment?” 

Seraphina walked over with a bright smile, beckoning to Sarah. “Sarah, the steak he cooked is absolutely amazing!” 

As Sarah approached, Justin quickly pulled out a chair for her. 

Meanwhile, Seraphina, who had already taken a seat by herself, could not speak. 

What? Is this how your sister is treated? 

Bruce sat next to Seraphina, while Justin sat beside Sarah, gently cutting her steak for her. 

Seraphina stared in disbelief. 

Clearing his throat, Bruce felt he should exhibit some gentlemanly behavior. He asked, “Ms. Cross, do you need help cutting your steak?” 

“Oh, no, thank you! I can manage,” Seraphina quickly replied.

The four of them enjoyed the meal together, with Justin dutifully pouring wine and serving Sarah. Occasionally, he would check if she was full. 

Finished 

After a satisfying dinner, Justin and Bruce began cleaning up the kitchen and prepared the maid to wash the dishes. 

Seraphina glanced around before leaning closer to Sarah and asking quietly, “Sarah, don’t you think my brother is pursuing you?* 

Sarah’s expression shifted slightly. 

“He likes you, Sarah. Do you like him too?” Seraphina pressed. 

Sarah lowered her gaze, her fingers tracing the edges of a repaired glass pendant. 

“Though Justin might seem unreliable, he takes relationships seriously. I’ve never seen him learn a skill just to please a woman or fret over what gift to give her, worrying whether she would like it. He even brought me along as an excuse to invite her to dinner. Sarah, shouldn’t you consider this?” 

Seraphina thought, for the sake of Justin being her brother, she could lend him a hand. 

Sarah remained silent for a few seconds. 

The living room felt eerie still. 

Suddenly, Sarah smiled. Her eyes turned red as she pinched Seraphina’s cheek. 

“Seraphina, I forgot to introduce you–Bruce is now my boyfriend.”
