Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Keith didn’t really understand the complexities of relationships.

Fortunately, Keith was still willing to learn. Now that he’d finally recognized his feelings for Serena, he figured he had an advantage through les connection with Alyssa–being close to the action, so to speak.

He had to make a real effort to do right by his feelings.

When Serena opened her eyes again, her head felt like someone had clubbed her with a brick the night before.

She couldn’t help rubbing her temples as she groggily reached for her phone on the nightstand, only to discover it was barely past five in the morning

“How did I get so wasted?” Serena croaked, her voice entirely shot.

But she didn’t have time to dwell on that because memories from the previous night flooded back like a tidal wave. “You bastard! What are you doing in my house? Are you supposed to be my husband or something?‘

Serena buried her face in her hands under the covers, wishing she could just disappear from the face of the earth rather than face Keith later. How could I have gotten so drunk that I said all those weird and inappropriate things to him?‘

She had no idea how she would look him in the eye now.

Getting out of bed, she felt uncomfortable, but still managed to wash up quickly and change clothes. When she exited her room, she found the new nanny, Sophia Rowe, had arrived.

“Good morning, Ms. Gray,” Sophia turned around, carrying a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen. “Mr. Brannon said you were drunk and might feel rough this morning, so he texted me late last night asking me to come early and make this for you.”

Sophia’s smile was gentle and warm. Keith’s thoughtfulness only embarrassed Serena, so she quickly thanked her and downed the soup.

Serena said, “Well, I should head to work now.”

Sophia quickly stopped her. “Ms. Gray, you haven’t had breakfast yet. Why don’t you wait a little longer? The oatmeal will be ready soon.”

“No, thanks.”

Even though it seemed a bit early to go to the office, Serena didn’t want to face Keith right now.

She was far too mortified–if he brought up what happened last night, she wouldn’t know what to say.

So Sophia watched as Serena hurried out the door, still looking puzzled.

Half an hour later, Keith woke up and exited his room. The door to Serena’s room stood open, the bed already made with military precision.

Serena was nowhere to be found.

“Mr. Brannon, good morning,” Sophia emerged from the kitchen, noticing where his gaze had landed, She quickly explained, “Ms. Gray left for work about thirty minutes ago.”

“Work?” Keith’s brow furrowed slightly. The realization hit him–Serena was avoiding him. His heart sank. ‘She must have fige her. She doesn’t want to deal with it, so she’s running away.

He said, “Got it. Thanks for looking after Alyssa today. I’ll get ready and head out too.”
