The Lies Behind Her Marriage novel Chapter 190

Serena’s Answer.

“What do you think of my new design?” Serena asked, showing Nathaniel her latest design for the AI-powered massage chair.

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as he accepted the design. He flipped through it while giving Serena side glances of betrayal.

“You don’t look like a powerful CEO right now. You look like a sulking lover,” she commented.

How could he not sulk?

First, she accepted the ring — but said she wasn’t ready to get married.

She took the sparkle but rejected the paperwork.

Serena signed up for… a free trial. It was like being engaged… spiritually.

Second, she took the morning-after pill.

Get it?

The. Morning. After. Pill.

In other words, she enjoyed the event but declined the sequel.

The only consolation he got was that Serena agreed to stay with him throughout the weekend. The kids would stay as well.

Nathaniel heaved a sigh. He did not respond and instead reviewed the details of the new design.

“It’s solid,” he said. “It has potential for both commercial spa deployment and private residential sales.”

“You could create tiered packages for wholesale buyers and partner with credit card companies to offer installment plans for private customers,” he added.

Serena smiled. She took back the proposal and kissed his cheek before stuffing it into her bag.

She initiated. That had to mean something, right?

His gaze landed on the ring on her finger.

It fit her perfectly.

From being bitter and sulking, Nathaniel’s heart softened. He pulled Serena into a hug and said, “Anything for you, Love.”

She smiled again. Then she pulled out several folders. “I need help with these.”

They were at her office, determined to make up for lost time because… of the long quickie they had at his house.

It was the first time Nathaniel walked into VanderMed Technologies. Naturally, the employees were curious about him and why he was casually walking into the office without a visitor’s pass.

He caught the stares and the whispers, but as far as Nathaniel knew, only Serena’s assistant knew who he was. And of course, Silas.

Serena and Nathaniel worked on her documents until seven in the evening.

He and Serena walked out of the office together with some employees who had worked overtime. Helene followed behind them.

One executive-looking employee dared to ask Serena, “Miss Vander, may we know who your special guest is?”
