Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 387

Gideon continued working as he replied, "Did what on purpose?"

"Called me over here to work."

Ethan stared him down. "What are you trying to pull? I like Seraphina, and I'm going to confess my feelings to her. On what grounds are you trying to stop me?"

Gideon straightened up.

The two men stood face to face, the air crackling with unseen tension, like a war on the verge of erupting.

Gideon lowered his voice. "If you confess to her, I will absolutely do the same."

Ethan's expression hardened for a split second.

He met Gideon's gaze and let out a low chuckle. "Is it really that fun fighting with me, Mr. Cole?"

"It is."

Gideon answered without hesitation.

Ethan's eyes grew colder.

Gideon held his gaze, his tone softening slightly. "Ethan, I'm not fighting you on this."

"But let me make one thing clear."

"She doesn't want a relationship right now. She's focused on her career. She barely crawled her way out of that marriage and fought hard to get where she is today. If you go confessing your feelings now, are you doing it for her happiness, or are you just adding to her burdens?"

Ethan's lips pressed into a thin line.

"Work and relationships aren't mutually exclusive."

He retorted, his voice tinged with defiance. "What makes you think my confession would distract her?"

"Because that's the kind of person she is."

Gideon said with absolute certainty. "She gives her all to everything she does. Work, being a mother, even her divorce—she took it all seriously. If you put yourself in her heart right now, she won't be able to move forward without looking back."

"You think you know her that well?"

Ethan's tone carried a bitter edge. "I've known her longer than you. I met her first. I know what she needs better than you do. She's suffered so much in her life, why shouldn't she—"

"I know her better than you do."
