Chapter 716: Chapter 717

Eunice was all praise for Romeo, her words glowing with pride. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Darren, itching with curiosity, chimed in, "It’s just 8 o’clock sharp. Why don’t we invite Romeo over for a bit, maybe offer him a warm cup of tea?"

"Dad, do you want to meet him?"

Just after Eunice finished his words, Belinda exclaimed, "I’d like to meet him too."

"Let me check with Rose and see if Romeo is free," Eunice texted Rosemary.

Rosemary quickly learned that Romeo was nearby and asked him to come over.

As Romeo pulled up to the estate, Martin’s car arrived shortly after.

The two men exchanged a glance, both with a shadow crossing their eyes.

Eunice went out to greet Romeo and, spotting Martin, she expressed surprise, "Are you here for Serena?"

"I texted Serena, called her, but got no reply. I heard she had a little drink at the dinner table, so I got some sobering tea prepared in case she couldn’t handle it."

Noting the bottle in his hand, Eunice softened, "She did have a little wine. Come on in."

It warmed her heart to see someone so genuinely concerned for Serena.

"Thanks, Mrs. Griffith."

Martin hurried in, worried about Serena, but remained courteous.

"Romeo, come on in," Eunice said, her authoritative tone mixed with an elder’s warmth and gentleness.

"Mrs. Griffith," Romeo greeted her, his arms laden with various gift bags.

Martin glanced at the bags Romeo was carrying and felt a pang of neglect; he’d been so focused on Serena that he’d forgotten to bring presents to the elders.

"From now on, no gifts when you come here," Eunice said.

Martin looked at her gratefully, his eyes conveying his thanks. Next time, he had to prepare more gifts to show his respect.

"Just wait here for a moment. Darren wants to have a tea party in the garden. I’ll wheel him over and call Rose and Serena too."

"Thanks, Mrs. Griffith," Romeo and Martin said in unison.

Eunice hadn’t been gone long when a servant chased after Serena, calling out, "Serena, Serena."

"Romeo, you came for me." Serena, completely out of her senses, lunged forward, wrapping her arms around a large tree. "I knew you liked me. Romeo, I like you too, so much."

Romeo, sitting beside her, was speechless.

So was Martin.

"Serena, you’re hugging a tree, not Mr. McMillian," the servant pleaded. "Please let go, you’re barely dressed. Let me take you back to your room before you catch a cold."

"Get off me, you tramp! Romeo is mine, don’t even think about seducing him."

Serena slapped the servant hard, leaving her on the brink of tears.

"Romeo, I knew it, you do like me. I always thought, what’s so special about my sister? She’s so boring, so dull, so cold, she never cares about you, but I do."

Serena nestled into the tree’s embrace. "I knew you’d choose me in the end. What’s that? You like me too? You can’t stand my sister’s dullness?"

Martin couldn’t sit still any longer. He strode over, grabbed Serena’s hand, and said, "You’re drunk. I’ve brought you some sobering tea."

"Let go! Stop dragging me. What are you trying to do in front of Romeo?"

"Romeo."

Overjoyed, Serena rushed towards him. "You like someone who stands out, how about I show you a table-splitting act?"

She extended her hand and fiercely aimed at the small round table in front of her.

The table remained intact, but her hand was nearly broken.

In an effort to impress Romeo, she kept chopping at the table.

The servant was terrified and quickly went to call Eunice.

When Eunice arrived, she saw Serena treating a slender tree as if it were a "stripper pole," performing a pole dance for Romeo.

Unable to persuade Serena, Eunice could only turn apologetically to Romeo. "Romeo, sorry about this. Maybe you should head home."

Romeo knew that the tea party was ruined, so he got up and said, "Mrs. Griffith, I’ll visit another day."

"Alright." Once he’d left, Eunice didn’t hesitate to grab a cup of water from the table and splash it onto Serena’s face.

The cold shock brought Serena to a momentary pause before she accused, "You witch, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?"

Eunice said flatly, "Take her back to her room; I’ll go find Rose."

As Serena was dragged to her room, she kept shouting, "I’ve been wronged, I’ve been framed by villains! Let me go, let me go!"

Eunice sighed heavily.

Later, when Rosemary heard about Serena’s antics, it left her somewhat shocked.
