Chapter 85 I Hope You Can Come Home

At thirty–three, not even Bryce could convince Sebastian to settle down.

“What if we… just make it a done deal?”

Donald felt his pulse race. “Are you suggestin…”

Kyana’s cheeks flamed a deep shade of pink.

Sebastian’s wide shoulders, slim waist, and long, straight legs exuded undeniable masculinity.

The mere thought of being in his arms made Kyana’s face burn hotter.

She glanced again toward Serena’s room and let out a self–satisfied laugh. “Well, well. Serena, once I’m married into the Levine family, crying over it won’t do you any good.”

Serena took an entire week off from work.

Following her grandma’s seven–day passing, she isolated herself in her room.”

When the seventh day arrived, she went into the kitchen to prepare fish and chips for Grandma, along with a plate of meatballs and a pot of pumpkin soup.

She had been simmering the soup from midday until dinner.

Sherry watched her, a mix of relief and pride on her face. “Ms. Steele, if Madam Morland could see how much effort you’ve put in, she would be deeply comforted.”

Serena arranged the dishes on the dining table and lit a candle in front of her grandma’s photograph.

“Grandma, it’s been seven days since you left. I hope you can come home for dinner tonight. I cooked everything myself. I hope it’s to your liking.”

Once she finished speaking, Serena returned to the kitchen, waited fifteen minutes, then came back to the dining room.

Yvonne sat stiffly on the couch, growing impatient with Serena’s so–called devoti

Kyana felt equally exasperated.

“Mom, honestly, who even wants to eat after all that?”

Serena sat back down at the dining table. “No one asked you to eat. If you don’t like it, keep quiet. This house belonged to my grandma. When you two are gone, no one will be putting out offerings in this home for you.”

“You!”

Kyana could barely contain her anger.

Yvonne gave her a calm, cautioning look. “That’s enough. Rena, your grandma would be grateful for what you’ve done.”

She had no intention of arguing over such trivialities.

Serena took a few bites, then cleared the table and carried the dishes back to the kitchen.

“Rena, there’s an auction tomorrow. Come with me,” Yvonne said.

Serena shot her a cool glare. “Grandma just passed. I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”

Yvonne smiled gently. “You misunderstand me.

“There’s a bracelet being auctioned that would suit your grandma perfectly. If we bring it to her when we visit her at the cemetery, she would love it.”

Serena’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Fine. I’ll go.”

Inside, Yvonne’s expression lit up. Well, smart or not, it doesn’t matter–she is still falling right into my trap. This girl is easy to manipulate. Hit her soft spot, and she’s yours.

Back in her room, Serena went online to check the auction details.

She sent a message to a close friend: ‘Lucy, are you going? I want to bid on a bracelet for Grandma.

‘Sorry, Rena, I’m not in Denton. But last time I rode with Uncle Sebastian, I heard he’s going. He mentioned some painting or calligraphy that caught his eye–he said he plans to give it as a gift.

Serena recalled Sebastian’s words from that day. Whatever you want.

‘Got it, Lucy. That’s okay. Thanks.’

On the day of the auction, Serena dressed entirely in black and wore a mask.

Her appearance made Kyana roll her eyes repeatedly.

“You don’t want to wear black? Fine. But what I choose to wear isn’t your concern.”

Serena gave her a frosty look and walked confidently into the auction hall.

Once inside, Yvonne sent a quick message to her nephew: ‘Are you in 806?‘

The response came immediately: ‘Yes, I’m here. Waiting for your instruction, Aunt Yvonne.‘
