Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 641

One day, Verian invited Serene to go shopping together. As the night came, Verian suggested going to some fancy restaurant to have dinner but Serene was reluctant as she found it too expensive to have a meal at such a place.

Verian chuckled. “Mrs. Jarret, you’re the wife of a rich man now. Can you not be that thrifty?”

“The money my Wilson earned is all from his blood, sweat and tears. I can’t just simply spend it.”

“Fine. Being thrifty is a good virtue. Nevertheless, I’ll treat you tonight.”

Serene beamed and said, “With your sudden flattering, tell me, you want help from me, am I right?”

Verian glanced at her in despise. “Aren’t you happy that I’m treating you to dinner? Very well, I'll treat you to a big meal instead!”

“Are you for real? Indeed, the wife of a capitalist is generous in spending money!”

The two of them talked happily while getting into a cab.

After some time in the cab, Serene was confused. “Verian, where are we going exactly? Why does it look like this car is heading to a remote place?”

Verian pulled a straight face and lied to her, “The restaurant is situated in a ranch, hence it’s located in the outskirts of town.”

However, as the sky was getting dark and the cab was driving further away from the city, Serene inched closer to Verian and muttered in her ears. “Verian, is this driver kidnapping us? Look at the surroundings. It looks eerie here!”

Verian turned on her phone and showed her the route toward the restaurant. “Everything is fine. He’s just driving according to the route I provided him. He didn’t make any detours.”

Besides, Heaton was the one that arranged this driver to pick them up. How could the driver kidnap them!

Although Verian tried to reassure her, Serene still felt a little uneasy. With her hands clasping tightly onto Verian’s arms, she was looking around vigilantly.

While staring at Serene’s cautious act, she tried to suppress her laughter. She had to act all the way to the end. Otherwise, it would not be a surprise to Serene anymore.

It took roughly another one hour for them to arrive at their destination.

Serene scrutinized the deserted surroundings in the ranch. As it was pitch black around her, her face went pale in fear. Just when Verian wanted to enter the restaurant, Serene stopped her. “Verian, this can’t be a haunted house, right! We should probably head home! We can eat wherever we want in the city. The atmosphere is weird here!”

Verian smiled. “Everything is fine. What are you afraid of? As a medical student, you’re afraid of ghosts? Didn’t you tell me that you once spent some time in the morgue full of corpses?”

Serene frowned and said, “I did, but I was with my classmates at that time. Besides, there’s nothing to be afraid of. Those are just corpses anyway. However, the surroundings are eerie here… We should probably leave as soon as possible!”

In the dark, Verian suddenly let go of Serene’s hand. Serene was caught off guard and by the time she noticed it, Verian was long gone from her side.

Serene was frightened and anxious at the same time. She called out, “Verian! Where are you!”

Damn it! She was afraid of the dark!

Just as Serene was reaching for her phone to turn on the torchlight, a click sound was heard from nowhere. All of a sudden, the whole ranch lit up!

With her phone in hand, she was dumbfounded by the suddenly brightened sky around her…

The surroundings of the manor were covered with fresh and vivid rose petals. As she lowered her gaze, she noticed that there were arrow signs on the ground and walked in the direction where the arrows pointed.

Around five minutes later, she arrived in a spacious rose field!

There was a white, European-designed rectangular dining table in the middle of the rose field. The candles on the dining table were lit up and there were champagne and steaks on the table. Everything looked scarily romantic!

Serene was startled at the scene before her eyes. Serene exclaimed internally, ‘Is… is the evildoer trying to treat me to one last meal before I die?!’

‘Can I refuse the evildoer’s invitation?!’

Serene turned around and wanted to run away. However, a melodious, sensuous sound of a violin could be heard behind her.

Serene was rooted to the ground and thought to herself, ‘I’m doomed. This evildoer has bizarre pet peeves. Could it be that the evildoer is the legendary serial killer who pays particular attention to the arts when killing people?

Serene’s heart pounded faster and fear trickled down her spine.

Just as she wanted to sprint and get out of this place, a strong, masculine set of arms wrapped around her waist from behind!

“Ah!!!”

Serene shouted, feeling frightened.

“Did I scare you?”

Serene exclaimed internally, ‘Huh? Hold on. That’s Wilson’s voice!’

Serene swung around. As she saw Wilson’s face before her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his neck in excitement. However, she soon realized that this was all his doing.

Before she was able to figure out Wilson's intention, Heaton’s voice could be heard from afar, “Wilson! Hurry up. Get into the main topic!”

Serene turned her head toward the direction of the voice and noticed that Heaton and his family were all here.
