Chapter 311
I'll Try to Fulfill Your Wish
The air became tense in an instant, and everything fell silent.
Emeris's hand, reaching for the gift, frozen in place.
When she glanced at Wilson, she noticed a slight twitch in his expression.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
His eyes twitched. The calm and collected mask he wore year-round began to crack slightly.
"Daddy, I want to inherit your fortune right away!"
Finished
Little Dani twisted and turned, whining adorably in a way that made it hard not to want to give him a good smack
Wilson had already repeated the words to himself a thousand times. This is my child. I need to bear with
His gaze settled on Little Dani. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible. "Right away?" he repeated in a low voice.
Little Dani nodded seriously and explained, "Only if I inherit your fortune can I be with Ms. Lovely forever!" So, the sooner, the better!
For the sake of Ms. Lovely, he was ready to give up even his own father.
Wilson looked at his son's soft, innocent face. He was struggling to maintain his composure and grace.
"Til try to fulfill your wish as soon as possible," he gritted out between clenched teeth.
Little Dani smiled joyfully and asked, "When would that be?"
One second, two seconds... No, Wilson couldn't hold it in any longer!
His eyes narrowed sharply.
In one swift motion, he grabbed the back of Dani's shirt, easily lifting him off the ground as if he were just
ball that could be tossed away.
Emeris hurriedly intervened, saying, "He's just a kid, speaking without thinking."
Wilson gave a faint smile, carefully controlling his expression.
He nodded apologetically toward Emeris and said, "Mr. Cross, my apologies. I just remembered an urgent matter at the company that I must attend to immediately. I'll visit tomorrow to offer my proper apologies." With that, he effortlessly carried Little Dani out, his steps brisk and unbothered.
"Nooo! I want to kiss Ms. Lovely before we leave."

On the deck, Seraphina watched as Wilson carried Litde Dani away. She wanted to ask what was going on.
Before she could take a few steps, Orion caught her wrist.
"Don't go. Just think about what I said, alright?"
His voice was deep and cautious, almost pleading.
There was a hint of humility.
He had mentioned earlier that Emeris wouldn't ignore her daughter's future, and if there were talks of an arranged marriage, he hoped he would be considered first. After all, he had all the qualifications and advantages.
Besides him, who else was worthy of Seraphina?
Still, when he saw Seraphina and Wilson enjoying their conversation earlier, even though he knew Wilson wasn't a real possibility, he couldn't help but feel bitter
That was the reason he had cautiously explored his options.
Seraphina looked at him and met his gaze.
Suddenly, she smiled.
"Mr. Orion, with arranged marriages, it's all about finding a suitable match. But you? I'm not afraid. I won't fall for the same person twice-it's embarrassing enough the first time." She smiled and spoke in a leisurely manner.
"Besides, I've seen the world. My tastes have improved. I'm no longer interested in the people I once fancied"
She made sure to emphasize the word 'once fancied.
"Se aphina!"
Orion's heart felt as if it had been stabbed.
Seraphina smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll never forget how you saved my life. Buras for feelings
well, you can't force them, can you?"
The always aloof and dignified Orion now felt a pain in his heart as sharp as a blade.
No matter how hard he tried, it seemed he was the only one stuck in place.
He was at a loss for words due to the bitterness and heartbreak, along with the frustration bubbling inside.
What could he do?
Throw a tantrum?
He had no right to do that.

A few seconds later, his hands clenched into tight fists, veins popping on his forehead, and the corners of his eyes turning red. No one noticed it in the dim light of the night.
