Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 25

“What brings you here?” Seraphina asked, relieved to see Dashiell in such a moment.

Dashiell gave Seraphina a glance before turning down the air conditioner in the backseat. He draped a

shawl over her and asked, “Did you run into some trouble?”

According to his estimate, she should have exited long ago. He had even considered going in to check

on her.

“It was nothing serious,” Seraphina waved it off. But just as she raised her hand to do so, pain shot

through her wrist, making her wince.

Hearing her gasp, Dashiell knitted his brows, reaching out to take her hand. “Are you hurt?” His voice

was as icy as his expression, both tinged with clear signs of anger.

“Not at all!” Seraphina hastily clarified, “I haven’t worked out in a long time, so my hand. feels a bit sore,

that’s all.”

Seraphina was afraid that Dashiell wouldn’t believe her, so she turned to face him and said, “See? I’m

not injured at all.”

Dashiell observed Seraphina silently before reaching out to gingerly hold her cheeks. between his

thumb and forefinger.

Caught off guard, Seraphina gaped at him, unsure of what to say.

He then gently lifted her chin, carefully scanning along her neck, collarbone, and

arms…

His thorough examination made her feel like he could see right through her. Finally, he gave a curt nod,

“You’re right.”

Immediately, Seraphina flushed. His actions, albeit not inappropriate, made her feel as if he had NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

caressed her entire b*dy, setting her nerves on fire.

‘I merely made a casual remark, but Dashiell took it way too seriously!’ She mused, her previous

grudge vanishing leaving behind a strange sense of relief.

Truth be told, Seraphina was understandably upset. After knowing Julian for years and considering him

a refined gentleman, the recent events had been shocking. Not only had Julian cheated on her, but he

had also set her up numerous times. Even after their fallout, he didn’t flinch from resorting to physical

force…

Despite having completely given up on Julian, she had been with the man for five years. It was

impossible to shake off her feelings so hastily. Amidst the anger, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of

sadness and disappointment.

“Promise me one thing.” Dashiell’s hand finally put on Seraphina’s chin and gently stroked her lips with

his thumb.

“What is it?” asked Seraphina.

“Promise never to put yourself in harm’s way.” As Dashiell spoke, Seraphina felt a sudden chill around

her wrist.

Seraphina looked down and saw a silver watch on her wrist.

The watch was small but delicate, and the hands in it were moving slowly.

Seraphina seldom wore a watch, and she was quite surprised to suddenly receive al watch from

Dashiell.

“This watch comes with GPS and one-touch call functionality. Wear it,” Dashiell

instructed.

Seraphina paused for a moment before grinning, half-jokingly saying, “Is this some clever ploy to spy

on me?” She was well aware that this gift was Dashiell’s way of ensuring she could reach out to him

whenever she needed help. His thoughtfulness was genuinely heartwarming.

With one hand cradling hers and the other still caressing her lips, Dashiell softly replied, “I’m not spying

on you. I’m looking out for you in real time.”

“Why are you being so nice to me?” Seraphina looked into Dashiell’s eyes and said. confusedly.

Even though they hadn’t been together long, Dashiell had consistently showered her with care and

affection. In contrast. Julian hadn’t shown her the same level of care in all their years together.

“Because… you are my wife.”

After saying that, Dashiell approached Seraphina and k*ssed her affectionately.

Seraphina raised her head and actively k*ssed him back.

Seraphina was a little shy but she didn’t dodge, and her response was a great encouragement to

Dashiell.

Dashiell smiled with satisfaction and then k*ssed her more fiercely.

Meanwhile, Julian was in a state of disarray by the time he reached home. The idea of someone

threatening him with a dagger-and Seraphina of all people-was something he had never imagined.

“Wait! Are you serious about suing Seraphina?” Vivian had merely been bluffing for effect. The has sle

of a lawsuit could potentially blowback on them.

“Why not? We’ll not only sue Seraphina but also publicize it to the world!” Julian declared defiantly.
