Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216

Alyssa was a clever child. Even at a very young age, she had already figured out how relationships worked. She didn’t speak much, but she never got those things mixed up.

What she really wanted was for Keith and Serena to end up together. That way, she wouldn’t have to be the kid without a mom anymore, and Serena would always stay by her side.

Still, with Serena right there, he didn’t want to say too much. After a moment, he let out a sigh and pulled his hand away. “The two of us have already eaten. Let’s make some pasta for Alyssa later.”

hand eyes.

Hearing that, Serena suddenly remembered she’d forgotten to bring food for Alyssa today, and a flash of guilt crossed her eyes.

Serena hurried toward the kitchen, but Keith stopped her. “Don’t you still have a proposal to finish? Let me handle the pasta.”

She did have a lot on her plate, but she also knew Keith wasn’t exactly free and easy, not as the CEO of the entire company. So, she said, “I should do it-

“If you say no again, I’m gonna get upset,” Keith cut in.

Thanks again,” Serena said.

When Serena thanked him so politely, Keith rubbed his brow. “It’s only right for me to look after Alyssa. If anything, I should be thanking you for taking care of her, too.”

She had already come to see Alyssa as her own daughter, so she didn’t know how to respond at first.

Keith said, “Just focus on what you need to do. I’ve got everything covered on Alyssa’s end.”

On Sunday, Serena arrived early at the wedding venue. At that time, Kristy was still getting her makeup done, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw her. “You’re here nice and early.”

She looked at Kristy, who was all dressed up and glowing, and felt a strange sense of disbelief. She hadn’t expected her friend to be getting married so

Kristy teased, “What’s with that look? Sit down and let the makeup artist work on you. You’re coming up on stage with me later, remember?”

Snapping out of it, Serena smiled and nodded.
