Chapter 296
Victor handed over the gifts in his hands to Keith and said, “I prepared these for Seri. I hope you can accept them.”
Though his heart still ached, Victor knew he had to let go. He just hoped that from now on, Serena could truly find her own happiness.
But if there was ever a chance, Victor would still try to win Serena back. Lately, it felt like someone had ripped a piece right out of
his heart.
He knew that missing piece was where Serena used to be. But sadly, there was no way to turn back time.
Keith’s face was icy as he shot down the offer without a second thought. “No, thanks.”
Keith thought all this so–called devotion Victor showed now was just built on the hurt he gave Serena before.
He was a bit jealous, but more than that, Keith just couldn’t stand seeing Victor, someone who once hurt Serena, appear in front of her like nothing ever happened.
“You already failed her when you were together. Now that it’s over, there’s no point putting on a show,” Keith said flatly.
Meanwhile, Serena had already finished comforting Leon and walked over when she heard the commotion.
Victor looked at Serena, his eyes full of pleading. “I really picked out these gifts with care. Think of them as a way for me to make up for all the years I owed you, Serena…”
Before he could finish, Serena politely interrupted him, “Don’t say that. Our story is in the past now, and from here on out, we have nothing left to do with each other.”
“Mr. Powell, please take your gifts back with you,” Serena said.
Keith was clearly pleased with her response. Serena could spot that little glimmer of pride beneath Keith’s usually cold exterior, and she couldn’t help but want to laugh at how smug he looked.
‘He’s already the CEO of a huge company, why is he still so adorably childish sometimes?‘ Serena thought.
“Let’s go home. It’s pretty windy out here at night. Don’t catch a cold,” Keith said casually, using the excuse as he took Serena by the wrist.
Keith turned back to Victor, his face slipping right back into that cold look. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll leave.”
Not waiting for a reply, Keith simply tugged Serena along and got her into the car.
Seeing all this, James turned to Victor, gave him a polite nod, and then hurried after them into the car.
Serena glanced at Keith’s chiseled side profile and teased, “Are you jealous?”
Just thinking that he might actually be jealous, Serena thought he looked even cuter.
“Was it that obvious?” Keith let out a helpless little sigh, his eyes betraying him.
He lowered his head, gently fiddling with her hand. When he spotted the ring he’d so carefully chosen for her on her finger, a small, satisfied smile tugged at his lips.

Serena felt a mischievous urge bubble up and teased, “Honestly, I almost wanted to accept Victor’s gifts just how wonder picked out for me.”
