Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

She had no issue with Alyssa being around. Her personal life and work weren’t so hard to balance that she couldn’t manage both.

Keith caught on, a grateful look flashing, in his eyes. “Honestly, if it weren’t for you, I’d have no idea what to do.”

At that, Serena gave him a playful grin, a charming kind of mischief lighting up her expression. “So the big shot CEO of Brannon Creative Group can’t handle everything after all. And now you’re complimenting me? I’m gonna start getting embarrassed.”

They shared a quick laugh, and the heavy mood between them began to ease.

Then, Keith grew serious again. “I know you care about Alyssa, but you’re still giving up your time to look after her. I’ll pay you the standard rate. I don’t want you sacrificing your free time for nothing.”

But Serena rejected the offer without hesitation. “Alyssa and I may not be related, but I treat her like my own daughter. If you paid me, wouldn’t that make me her nanny?”

Keith hadn’t meant it like that, but he didn’t know how to argue without making it worse.

Serena’s eyes sparkled with a cheerful smile. “Just leave her with me. Friends don’t have to keep score over every little thing.”

Since she insisted, Keith finally let it go..

That same day, they moved Alyssa and all her essentials into Serena’s home.

Keith crouched in front of Alyssa and said, “You’ll stay with Serena for the time being. When she’s busy with work, the nanny will come over. While you’re here, listen to whatever she says, alright?”

Even though Alyssa had always been mature for her age, he still felt the need to remind her–worried that she might cause trouble for Serena.

Alyssa quickly gave a quick, obedient nod.

Serena walked out of the bedroom and chimed in, “Alyssa has always been such a good kid. She’ll definitely listen to me.” She had already unpacked all of Alyssa’s things and placed them in the main bedroom, making the space feel warm and inviting.

Alyssa ran to her side, reached out, and grabbed her hand tightly. Her little face was serious, as if trying her hardest to prove how well–behaved she

would be.

Keith smiled, “Very well then.”

With that, he turned to leave. But Alyssa ran up and tugged at his sleeve. He looked puzzled but followed her cue and crouched down again.

The next second, Keith felt a warm, gentle kiss land softly on the side of his neck. He looked down to see Alyssa shyly lower her head and give him a little

wave.

His gaze softened as he said, “Be good, okay, Alyssa? I’ll drop by when I can. If you miss me, send me a message and I’ll come get you.”

After saying all that, Keith finally stepped out of the front door. In the meantime, Alyssa nestled quietly against Serena’s side.

“For now, you’re sticking with me, Alyssa,” Serena chirped, scooping Alyssa up into her arms.

Alyssa let out a bubbly laugh, her face bright with relief.
