Chapter 37
After dinner, Dashiell stopped her when Seraphina was about to get up and clean the
table.
“As I said, you don’t have to do anything. From now on, you’re not allowed to go to the kitchen,” Dashiell said disapprovingly,
frowning slightly.
Seraphina felt a bit helpless. “I used to cook by myself.”
The past is the past. You’re not allowed to cook in the future!” Dashiell quickly put away the dishes from the table and went into
the kitchen.
Soon, he heard the sound of water running from the kitchen.
Seraphina walked over and looked at him while leaning against the kitchen door frame. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his
thin but strong arms.
She couldn’t help but tremble in excitement when she remembered his arms used to wrap around her waist.
As Dashiell washed the dishes, he suddenly asked, “Are you going to respond to them?”
Seraphina was stunned for a moment. “What?” she asked.
“I mean those boring cr ap...” Dashiell replied blandly, turning to look at her.
After pondering for a while, Seraphina nodded. “Of course!”
Although they were cra p, it damaged her reputation. In addition, she was not alone. now. She wouldn’t let it tarnish Dashiell’s
reputation for the sake of their future.
“What are you going to do? Do you want to clarify yourself?” Dashiell asked.
Seraphina shook her head. “If I stand out and argue with them, it will only dig me into a bigger hole. That’s exactly what they
want.”
me,
She thought, ‘The public will believe it if I’m enraged. Maybe a few people still believe
but so what? I can’t afford to waste time arguing with them and jeopardizing my reputation. How will I have face to work in Aroma
Delight? How will my colleagues think of me by then?
Julian and Vivian only need to hire some paid posters to continue smearing me. There’s no need to confront them head-on. I
can’t afford to waste my time on them!”
“Well... Do you need a favor?” Dashiell asked.
After washing the dishes, he rinsed his hands carefully and walked towards her.

qualified to be your wife,” she said, looking up at him.
Dashiell smiled dotingly and k*ssed her gently on the forehead. “Only you are qualified to be my wife in the world.”
Whether he coaxed her or not, she was glad to hear that.
In return, Seraphina stood on tiptoe and pecked him on his lips.
It was a small reward for him, but he wasn’t satisfied with it. He put one hand on the back of her head and took the initiative to
deepen the k*ss.
In the CEO’s office of Prosperian Company, Bryce was waiting for Julian.
Julian, who had just finished the meeting, returned to his office. He saw Bryce waiting for him inside.
“How’s it going?” he asked proudly, pulling his tie loose. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face as if he had got it in the bag.
“Ms. Jones said she’d see you in court,” Bryce told him briefly.
Julian stilled as he reached for the cup of coffee on his desk. He turned around to look at Bryce as if he didn’t hear him. “What
did you say?” he asked.
“Ms. Jones rejected the offer and insisted on seeing you in court,” Bryce replied.
“What makes her think she can win? Did she have any new evidence?” Julian asked,
squinting.
Bryce shook his head. “I have 1
idea. But judging from Ms. Jones’ tone, she’s very resolute. But based on the evidence we have so far, our company will be sure
to win. Mr. Brown, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Julian thought, ‘Of course, I’m worried. How could I not be worried?”
Bryce didn’t worry because what he saw was the evidence on the surface. After all, Julian knew best that Seraphina should be
given full credit for the company’s product research and development throughout the years. However, she left him so resolutely,
leaving no wiggle room. Julian felt humiliated, so things got ugly between them. They would have to fight to the end.
However, Seraphina knew that she had little chance of winning. Why didn’t she give in? Was it because Aroma Delight stood
behind her back or what else did she have up her sleeves?

Julian was confused, but he couldn’t figure it out for a while.
“Okay, I see. When will the trial begin?”
“Next week,” Bryce replied.
“Go get ready and call Seraphina, saying that we’re willing to settle it out of court for old time’s sake. Don’t think less of us,
understand?” Julian demanded.
“You can leave now,” Julian said.
Bryce went out with doubts. As soon as he left the office, Vivian came in.
She never knocked on the door when she entered the CEO’s office. Everyone at the company assumed Vivian, the R&D
department’s director, was Julian’s future wife.
The gossip about them recently was quite interesting. Everyone was secretly spilling the
tea.
The others couldn’t help but gossip when they saw Vivian sway into the CEO’s office.
“Have you seen the gossip on the Internet? It’s about Mr. Brown and his girlfriend.”
“Who? Mr. Brown’s girlfriend?”
“It’s Ms. Garcia! Do I have to make it clear?”
“Yes, I know. There was the other woman between them for many years. She also stole our company’s confidential information.
What’s her name again?”
“Seraphina!”
“Yes, Seraphina! I recall she wasn’t a member of our company. She occasionally visited the headquarters. She looked like a
technician, right?”
“You’re right. She looks very beautiful. I’d seen her flirt with Mr. Brown before, but I hadn’t expected her to be a homewrecker.”
“Come on, Mr. Brown and Seraphina were going to get married. It was so obvious. I wonder why Ms. Garcia isn’t upset about it.”
“What? Were they going to get married? Everyone was shocked.
“Yeah, I overheard them saying they were making an appointment to get a marriage
license.”
“What? Come on, spill the tea! Is there a twist in their story?”

They were chatting happily in the WhatsApp group. They were excitedly conversing, especially while the protagonist was in front
of them.
Before entering the office, Vivian turned around and glanced at the people still working outside. From time to time, they looked in
her direction. She was a little annoyed, so she pulled down the blinds.
She thought, ‘A bunch of idiots!’
“Julian, you haven’t gone out with me for a long time.” She snuggled up to him and said. coquettishly, “I’ve been so bored
recently.”
“Are you still in the mood to have fun? Don’t you know what’s going on with the
big
company and me?” Julian took ap of coffee and continued, “Do you know that
Seraphina is determined to see us in court?”
