Chapter 3
Louis was about to ask his bodyguard to kick down the door of Gretchen’s house. I couldn’t hide anymore, so I put on a turtleneck sweater, covered my whole body and went downstairs.
“Frank, you come with me.”
I grabbed Frank’s sleeve and didn’t let go.
Under the sunglasses, Louis’s eyes fell on my hand.
Then he stopped Frank, “Sorry, today is a family dinner, it’s not convenient for outsiders.”
Frank smiled and gently squeezed my arm. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll wait for you outside.”
He picked up the key and walked towards his car.
I subconsciously found Louis’s Rolls–Royce and just as I was about to open the passenger door, the window suddenly

rolled down.
Sharon’s bright smile bloomed. “Serena, long time no see.”
My hand froze in mid–air.
Louis frowned and helped me open the back seat. “You sit in the back.”
I sat in the back seat obediently without saying a word.
Along the way, Sharon seemed particularly excited and kept talking. Louis simply
echoed a few words.
Suddenly, through the rearview mirror, Louis’s scrutinizing eyes fell on my face.
“Serena, why are you so quiet today?”
In his memory, I chirped like a bird and I talked endlessly when I saw him. People always expressed themselves
unconcealedly in front of the people they love. Cuteness disappeared. Others will disappear soon after.

uncomfortable.”

Louis didn’t say much. He just stepped on the accelerator and soon arrived at the old house.
When Marianne heard that I was coming, she stood at the door to greet me early in the morning.
“Serena!”
She held my hand enthusiastically and looked me up and down with heartache.
“Oh, I heard that you were kidnapped a few days ago. It’s all Louis’s fault! He provoked enemies and wronged you.”
Marianne’s eyes were shining with tears and I couldn’t help but redden my eyes.
That year, when the mountain torrent broke out, my parents died trying to save Marianne.
I became an orphan and when Marianne, the old lady of the Featherington Family

came back, she went through the adoption procedures and told me that the
Featherington Family would be my home in the future.
They raised me as their own daughter and asked Louis to treat me as his own sister.
Louis did take care of me as his own sister for eight years. He created a luxurious dream for me. And pushed me into the abyss with his own hands.
Sharon smiled and tried to please
Marianne, handing over a luxurious gift box. “Aunt, this is a gift I brought you from abroad!”
Marianne’s smile froze on her face.
She looked at Louis with dissatisfaction, “It was said to be a family dinner, why are outsiders here?”
Marianne didn’t like Sharon.
She felt that she had been two–timing and went abroad out of anger, causing Louis to pursue her for three years. Marianne had

always wanted to bring me and Louis together, but was always ruined by Sharon’s sudden appearance.
Especially when she heard that Louis had thrown me in an abandoned warehouse to save Sharon a few days ago, Marianne was even more dissatisfied with her.
At the dinner table, the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
Sharon’s tears of grievance rolled in her eyes. Louis’s eyes stayed for a moment with heartache and he picked up her favorite dishes and put them in the bowl.
“Serena. The reason why Miss Sharon was rescued first that day was because she had a congenital heart disease and could not be. frightened. You are strong, so it’s okay to wait a little longer.”
“And when I left the scene that day, I immediately asked someone to call the police, knowing that you would not be hurt.”

As he said that, he also picked up a piece of braised pork that I didn’t like and put it in my bowl.
“I knew that the police would definitely rescue you.”
Louis’s firm voice made me laugh. I really wanted to ask him. Knowing that I would not be hurt… then what were these injuries on my body?
But I didn’t ask.
Seeing that everyone was unhappy, Marianne casually changed the subject and asked me when I planned to get married.
I chuckled and put down my bowl and chopsticks, “Auntie, I’m getting married next week. I was planning to tell you this good news at this family dinner.”
Everyone was stunned. Louis looked up in astonishment.
Marianne looked at me in surprise, “Serena, are you kidding? You don’t even

have a boyfriend, who are you going to marry?”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Louis intentionally or unintentionally.
I had a crush on Louis and confessed to him. This matter had been no longer a secret since three years ago. Some people used this to make fun of my wishful thinking. Some people said that I had Marianne as my backer and Louis and I were a perfect match.
But three years later, Louis came back with Sharon and no one associated me with him
anymore.
Just as I was about to speak, Louis
suddenly asked coldly.
“Serena, is it Frank you‘ re talking about just now?”
