He averted his gaze and focused on Seraphina. Wilson patiently explained, "That's impossible. Back in Ascotia, my family doctor was incredibly lazy. I had no choice but to learn first-aid myself." Seraphina smiled slightly, her attitude noticeably more polite.

"It's fine; it doesn't hurt anymore. This ointment is pretty good."

Wilson paused, seemingly a little disappointed. He lowered his head briefly, then looked up again with his usual calm and humble expression.

He picked up the ointment as if nothing had happened. "I'll get you a new one."

"Seems like Mr. Rockwell came prepared?" she remarked.

"Well, with a kid around, you can't afford to take chances with these things," he said, glancing meaningfully at little Dani.

Dani stuck his tongue out and ducked behind Seraphina.

You couldn't blame me. The way Daddy looked at Ms. Lovely is anything but innocent. If I'm not careful, I may soon find myself with a stepmother. After dinner, Seraphina politely excused herself.

Wilson personally drove her back home. He also thoughtfully pulled over a little further down the road.

The night air was cool, and the streetlights cast long shadows of the two standing beside the car.

Wilson spoke first, "Don't worry about the media or the stock market. The shares won't drop until the investigation reveals the facts."

"Thank you," Seraphina replied.

"You've thanked me so many times already," Wilson said with a slight smile.

Seraphina looked at him and said, "Mr. Rockwell, there's a plot of land in Plerton. Are you interested?"

Wilson's gaze darkened as he stared at her. For a momerit, his expression froze. "What are you implying?"

"It's repayment," she said, offering a clear-cut return of favor.

Wilson stunned briefly, then exhaled slowly.

"Ms. Cross, you're difficult to pursue," he murmured.

Seraphina lifted her eyes to meet his. Wilson chuckled softly; his refined demeanor blended in seamlessly with the night, but his voice held a renewed firmness. 'Forget the land. This wonderful night feels much more memorable."

Chapter 381 Small Gesture

She removed her coat and kicked off her heels, ready to head to the bathroom to freshen up, when her phone buzzed twice. Seraphina glanced at it.

Wilson wrote, "It's challenging to win your heart, but letting you slip away is way harder. Sweet dreams."

She glanced at the message and chose not to reply.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The next one was from Orion. He wrote, "Seraphina, you still have some clothes at my place. Should I bring them to you tomorrow?" Seraphina casually typed and replied, "Nah, just toss them."

With that, she powered off her phone and got ready for bed.

The next morning, Seraphina headed straight to the office.

She couldn't rest until she knew the real cause of the accident with the driverless vehicle and wanted to monitor it personally.

News had already surfaced in Etopia about the Giant Group's autonomous car experiment, which ended in a crash and resulted in casualties.

Public concern over the safety of driverless cars was growing fast.

The situation was urgent, and time was of the essence.

During a video conference that day, Seraphina and Orion both participated.

Seraphina concentrated on the projected 3D display in the spacious conference room.

The room felt cold due to the low temperature of the air conditioner. Observing Seraphina in a thin dress, Orion quietly took off his jacket and moved toward her. Seraphina sat motionless, her gaze indifferent as she declared, "I don't want it. Don't try that trick on me."

Orion had no words.

Everyone else in the room remained silent.

One of the staff members quickly became aware of the situation. Silently, they adjusted the temperature, and soon the warmth returned.
