First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Admit You Still Have Feelings for Me

Serena Jennings couldn’t miss that subtle hint of expectation in Caleb Lockwood’s tone.

She smiled and answered lightly:

"Because I have a conscience, I wouldn’t stoop to the level of a wounded person."

She said this while taking the porridge out of the food bag.

"Just conscience?"

Serena’s hand paused.

"Serena, is it difficult for you to admit that you still have feelings for me?"

Caleb suddenly held Serena’s hand.

This time, Caleb’s palm was warm.

Caleb thought Serena would immediately shake him off.

But Serena didn’t.

"Caleb..."

Serena glanced sideways at Caleb, her gaze as calm as still water.

Caleb’s heart suddenly became restless.

"We were together once, after all. You should know me... Imagine, three years ago, would I have bought hospital food for you as dinner?"

As Serena said this, Caleb’s grip on her hand suddenly turned cold.

Caleb’s brows furrowed bit by bit, and his expression became very displeased.

Serena was right.

If it were the Serena from three years ago, she would have cooked porridge herself. No matter how late, she would have bought the freshest ingredients and cooked the most nutritious porridge for him.

They were married for three years. Every time Caleb got sick, he could drink the porridge Serena personally cooked.

Seeing Caleb release his hand, Serena continued pouring the bought porridge into a disposable plastic bowl and handed it to Caleb.

"I don’t want to drink this."

Serena took the bowl back.

"Then order takeout yourself?"

Caleb reached out to Serena with a cold face.

Serena handed the porridge back to him again.

Caleb tasted a spoonful of the porridge from the small restaurant, which was far worse than the porridge Serena used to cook for him.

He suddenly missed Serena’s cooking.

During the days he could enjoy her cooking, he never thought there would be a day he couldn’t taste that flavor anymore.

Caleb only ate a bite before putting the porridge down.

He didn’t order takeout either.

The result was that he was hungry all night.

Serena didn’t care about him either.

Serena stayed to take care of Caleb, but only regarded herself as a nurse.

She was no longer his dedicated wife and naturally wouldn’t comply with his every wish.

Caleb noticed Serena’s business-like attitude, but he still patiently searched for any trace of affection she might still have for him.

Today, Serena brought an unusually large three-tier food container to the hospital.

Caleb’s eyes immediately lit up.

After a week of hospitalization, all he had eaten was food from outside restaurants, which, despite varying in style, never suited his taste.

But today was different.

From the moment he saw that large food container, Caleb was looking forward to tasting Serena’s cooking, feeling hungry before noon.

However, until two in the afternoon, Serena hadn’t returned.

Serena was at the tech industry park at that time.

Ethan White worked there.

"Ethan, you’re really enviable, having a girlfriend bring you food!"

"The legendary loving-wife lunch box?"

Ethan’s boss and colleagues said enviously.

"She’s not my girlfriend yet!"

Although Ethan said this, his face showed a happy smile.

"Your tone implies... you’re still pursuing her, right?"

"I think it’s almost certain since she’s bringing you food."

"Ethan, you should make a move!"

Ethan was amused by his colleagues’ gossip.

When Serena returned with the clean food boxes, she noticed everyone in the office looked at her with a hint of ambiguity.

It was Lana Xavier who had told her that Ethan’s project development wasn’t going well lately. Ethan often worked overtime, hurt his stomach from staying up late, and ate irregularly.

Serena felt she had angered Ethan before, so this time, she deliberately made some nourishing meals to bring to Ethan.

When Serena returned to the hospital, it was almost three in the afternoon.

Seeing Claire Shaw, Patrick immediately became excited.

He was the one who informed Claire to come.

Because the atmosphere in the room was too dull, he secretly contacted Claire, thinking Caleb’s mood would improve with her visit.

Unexpectedly, Caleb glanced at Claire, his eyes devoid of waves.

Patrick wisely left, not remaining in the room to be a third wheel, and gave Caleb and Claire some time alone.

After leaving the hospital, he called Serena.

"Serena, what did you do to make Brother Lockwood so mad?"

Serena was in her office at that time.

During those days of nursing at the hospital, she fell behind on her work, now relying on overtime to catch up.

"What’s wrong with Caleb?"

Serena still remembered asking the chief surgeon, also Caleb’s attending physician at the hospital when she left. Caleb’s recovery was good, and he would be discharged in a few days.

"His injury is fine, it’s just that he seems about to explode with anger, his face looking puffed up every day."

Imagining Patrick’s description of Caleb, Serena couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

"So you’re the one taking care of Caleb at the hospital now?"

"No way... I’m a big guy, how could I take care of someone! Brother Lockwood’s wife is there!"

Serena blinked unintentionally.

From the beginning, Caleb shouldn’t have asked her to stay; he should have had Claire Shaw accompany him.

But Serena could guess what Caleb was thinking.

He couldn’t bear to let Claire do the dirty and hard work of caregiving.

While she had been treated as a nanny and servant by Caleb from the start.

Serena smiled coldly without a word.

"By the way, Serena, in the middle of next month, take some time to accompany me!"

Patrick’s words piqued Serena’s interest.

"Accompany you for what?"

"To watch a racing competition in Country C."

"Country C?"

Serena’s long eyelashes lifted.

"Yes... I heard there’s a new racer in Country C who’s incredible, and it’s a girl... Oh, also she has the same last name as your alias, both Lin."
