Orion Is Persistent

After driving Ramona away, Seraphina felt an immense sense of relief. Seraphina experienced a boost in her spirits and renewed motivation for her work.

Having suppressed her frustrations for three years, she finally had a chance to get payback, and she wasn't going to let it slip by.

The worse Ramona's mood, the happier Seraphina felt.

Now, it was her turn to smile.

Today, Aiden from Giant Group invited Seraphina for dinner to discuss the progress of their project.

After finishing her work, Seraphina asked Thomas to accompany her to the appointed restaurant.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they saw not only Aiden but also Orion.

The grandfather's attempt to get the pipe failed, so the grandson had to step in.

In all honesty, she's been seeing Orion quite frequently lately. Seraphina was surprised to see him more often after their divorce than during their marriage.

As soon as Aiden saw Seraphina show up at the door, he stood up to greet her.

Seraphina had no choice but to walk in. She smiled at Aiden and said nonchalantly, "I don't recall any other guests being invited. Mr. Denter, if you are busy, we can always reschedule." Aiden spread his hands helplessly. He glanced at Orion before turning back to Seraphina.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"Sorry, Seraphina. Orion is also a business partner for my company, and I couldn't refuse him."

This reason was barely acceptable. Seraphina nodded in acknowledgment.

She glanced at Orion and frowned slightly, saying, "Mr. Dros, your elder has already discussed the issue with me. There's no need for you to get involved."

Your elder?

Her tone was dismissive, as if she were treating Orion like an unruly child.

Thomas and Aiden nearly lost their composure and laughed out loud.

Fortunately, both were seasoned professionals and managed their expressions well enough not to embarrass Orion too much.

Orion took a deep breath and remained uncharacteristically calm.

"Seraphina." Orion's gaze deepened as he looked at her. He continued after a brief pause, "Grandpa said some harsh words to you today; I hope you don't take it to heart."

He knew Seraphina wouldn't care for his apology, and it wouldn't change anything. However, when he considered the things he had done to her over the past three years, Orion realised that a simple apology wouldn't suffice.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, sensing something off about Orion today.

"Is that all?" she asked, slightly impatient.

Orion was silent for a moment before speaking again. "That smoking pipe serves no purpose. for you. If you're just trying to provoke them, you've succeeded. Once your anger subsides, I hope you can give it back to my grandpa. As I said before, you can name your conditions."

The atmosphere grew tense as Seraphina smirked.

So, if other methods failed, they'd appeal to emotions?

Regardless, their goal was to retrieve the smoking pipe. Clearly, that item was of great importance to them.

Aiden couldn't help but break the silence with a playful comment.

He chimed in, "Any conditions? What if she asks you to remarry?"

The three of them were stunned, with even Thomas instinctively glancing up at Orion.

Orion's gaze sharpened, his prows knitting together as the tension hung in the air.

Just when Denter regretted his words, Seraphina's cold chuckle broke the silence. Her voice was clear and indifferent.

"Remarry? Dream on! I barely made it out of that hell; why would I dive back in?"

As her words landed, Orion frowned deeper. He wanted to say something, but Seraphina spoke again. "However...

She paused quietly, then let out a mischevious smile.

"We can negotiate the terms if you're so desperate for that pipe."
