First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Interrogation

"Laughing at yourself?" Caleb Lockwood tilted his head, looking at Serena Jennings with a puzzled expression.

Serena took a sip of the chilled peanut milk, feeling refreshed.

"You know, when I married you, I bought a lot of cookbooks... both paper and electronic... because you have stomach problems. Your mom kept reminding me to be careful when cooking, not to put this, not to put that, too much flavor would be bad for your stomach, but no flavor wouldn’t do either. You wouldn’t like it, and you’d give me a cold shoulder..."

As Serena spoke these words, a faint bitter smile lingered on her face, her eyes calm without a ripple.

However, upon hearing this, Caleb felt as though a heavy stone had suddenly pressed on his chest, suffocating and painful.

"Back then, besides cooking and doing housework, I was always studying recipes... Simply following the recipes didn’t work, I had to consider your taste and stomach condition, and it had to be nutritionally balanced... Now that I think about it, I was like a fool back then... Look at you now, eating heavily flavored, unhealthy street food, and enjoying it."

After Serena finished speaking, she skewered a roasted bean curd skin, a happy smile of savoring deliciousness on her face.

Caleb also skewered a roasted bean curd skin.

The same roasted bean curd skin in his mouth, however, tasted bitter.

In the end, neither the skewers nor the snacks bought earlier were left, all were devoured by Caleb and Serena.

Serena ate more than Caleb did.

When Caleb drove to Serena’s home, both of them immediately noticed that familiar white Lexus.

No one knew how long the car had been parked there.

But intuition told Serena that Ethan White had been waiting for her there for a long time.

After parking, Caleb got out first and opened the car door for Serena, playing the role of an assistant.

As Serena got out, Ethan also exited his car.

Under the night sky, in the dim glow of the street lamps, Serena saw Ethan’s face was very serious.

It was a rare expression on Ethan’s face.

Overly serious, with anger, as if it had turned into a sharp spear, carrying strong aggression.

Serena was stunned.

At this moment, a tall figure blocked her view, cutting it off instantly.

Caleb stood in front of Ethan, and Ethan paused.

Even though Caleb had restrained his aura a bit, facing Ethan, who was fully in his, he still did not lose out.

Ethan frowned tightly, saying coldly:

"Move aside."

Caleb stood his ground.

"I’m Mr. Reed’s assistant, protecting the leader is my duty."

Caleb’s grandiose words made Ethan sneer.

"You speak as if I’m going to harm Serena... Caleb, the one who’s been hurting Serena all this time is you, you have no right to talk about protecting her."

Caleb slightly parted his lips but did not refute.

At this moment, Serena stepped out from behind him.

Caleb raised a hand to hold Serena’s wrist.

Serena glanced at Caleb, breaking free from his grasp.

A chilly breeze seeped into his palm, invading Caleb’s heart along the limbs and bones.

Caleb could only watch as Serena willingly approached Ethan—

Moving away from him.

"What’s wrong, Ethan?"

Serena sensed Ethan’s anger, likely directed at her.

Ethan gazed into Serena’s clear but puzzled eyes, hesitated for a long time, and finally complained:

"You didn’t answer my calls."

Ethan’s voice wasn’t loud, more like a grievance.

Serena froze, hurriedly taking out her phone.

The screen displayed twenty-seven missed calls.

All from Ethan.

She hadn’t brought her phone when she went bungee jumping, and hadn’t checked it after getting back to the car.

She had no idea Ethan had called her so many times.

"I’m sorry, Ethan, I didn’t have my phone with me."

Serena apologized to Ethan with a guilty look.
