Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 461

She glanced up at Tristan and Ethan, realizing that she truly was stretched too thin lately. Ultimately, she held back and decided not to blow Gideon's cover.

A fleeting smile danced in Gideon's eyes before he spoke with smooth nonchalance. "They have your favorite dishes over there. I'll take you."

With that, he half-guided Seraphina away from the table.

Watching them leave, the warmth in Tristan's smile slowly dissolved.

Ethan's brow furrowed heavily, and he immediately moved to stand up and follow them.

Chelsea was faster. She intercepted Ethan, flashing him an incredibly forced smile. "Ethan, let the couple be. Let's not ruin the mood."

Ethan glared at her. "Whose side are you on?"

Chelsea was groaning internally.

Of course she knew Ethan liked Seraphina, and she could see Tristan was fully invested too. But what was even more obvious was how different Seraphina acted around Gideon.

When others approached her, she responded with polite resignation.

When Gideon approached her, she got flustered, blushed, and hesitated—but she never truly pushed him away.

Chelsea was a woman of principle; she supported true chemistry over loyalty.

Even if he was her actual uncle.

So Chelsea simply kept up her placating smile. "I'm on your side, obviously, but we have to read the room, don't we?"

Ethan scoffed coldly.

Just then, his phone rang.

He answered it, exchanged a few terse words, and his expression darkened. It seemed there was an emergency at his studio.

Hanging up, he realized he had no choice but to leave, despite his intense reluctance.

Before walking away, he shot Chelsea a vicious glare. "You've got way too much free time lately, don't you? Looks like I need to remind your mother that it's time to start setting up marriage interviews for you."

Chelsea's smile instantly collapsed.

"Ethan!"

She slapped her hands together in a desperate plea. "I was wrong, please spare me! I'm still young! I want to focus on my career! I don't need a husband!"

Ethan remained entirely unmoved. "Young? You're not that young anymore."
