Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 339: Crazy Declaration of Love
Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Crazy Declaration of Love
At this moment, there suddenly came a burst of exclamations from outside, accompanied by crackling sounds.
"Wow! Fireworks!"
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the fireworks outside, and many impatient girls ran out one after another.
Serena Summers and Adrian Holt exchanged a look and followed them outside.
In the expanse of the night sky, fireworks exploded one after another, colorful and splendid, as if they illuminated the entire night sky.
"Did you prepare this?" Serena eyed the man beside her in surprise.
The man slowly shook his head, "No."
He had indeed prepared fireworks, but it wasn’t time yet. Brandon Reese might be a bit slow, but he wouldn’t get such a small detail wrong.
"I prepared them." A gentle voice suddenly came from behind, laced with a hint of mirth.
Serena and Adrian turned their heads to look and saw Leonard Kee standing behind them at some point, "Miss Summers, these are specially prepared for you. Do you like them?"
"Mr. Kee, thank you for the fireworks, but I am already married. It’s not quite appropriate for you to do this."
"The fireworks are just an appetizer, there’s more to come." Leonard Kee ignored Serena’s words and gestured for his subordinates behind him.
The subordinates opened their boxes one after another, revealing their contents to everyone present.
Each exquisite box contained a unique piece of jewelry.
A ruby necklace, diamond earrings, and a crown priced at a fortune.
Serena recognized at a glance that this was the crown worn by Elizabeth III, the former empress of F country, rumored to have been auctioned off for thirty billion.
So it ended up in Leonard Kee’s hands after all.
Serena hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Mr. Kee, one should not accept rewards without merit; these are too valuable, I cannot accept them."
"But you are my lifesaver, if even you can’t accept these, then no one in this world is eligible. Miss Summers, your medical skills are exceptional, I greatly admire them."
What a pity, such an outstanding talent cannot work for him.
Leonard Kee secretly clicked his tongue and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Saving lives is what I should do, and the hospital has already rewarded me. I’m sorry, but I cannot accept these gifts."
Among those attending today’s party were not only influential figures from all walks of life but also media journalists.
Mr. Kee’s blatant courtship just now, if she were to accept his gifts at this moment, the news tomorrow would probably be taken out of context.
Such as—Rival declares love in public, Mr. Lucas Shaw is cuckolded.
Just thinking about it made her laugh.
Moreover, she had an iceberg right beside her.
Having only spoken a few words to Leonard Kee, she could already feel the chill radiating from him.
If she really accepted these gifts, she could probably expect to be the one sleeping in the study from now on.
Don’t let the fact that he always has a cold expression fool you; he is actually quite the jealous type.
Serena remained firm in her stance, and with Leonard Kee having no choice, he left behind the most expensive jewelry set, saying it was a birthday gift for Serena.
This time, it was hard for Serena to continue refusing, so she let the butler take the gift away.
In the time that had passed, the fireworks had already ended. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Serena only looked up briefly at the sky and when she came back to her senses, the fireworks were gone.
She sighed with regret and led everyone back into the reception hall.
Leonard Kee had many things to attend to, so after presenting the gifts, he had to leave.
Before leaving, he gave Adrian a deep look and said to Serena, "Although I can’t break off the arranged marriage for you, if you ever regret it, you can always come to me."
Serena’s appearance really fit his aesthetic perfectly.
She carries a unique charm that belongs to Corlanders—intelligent yet gentle, even with a touch of naive simplicity.
Such a complex temperament converges upon her without a hint of discord, instead surprising one with her multifaceted nature.
What captivated him the most was her medical skill.
The people of Country C have always revered science and never believed in the traditional Chinese medicine of Corland.
But that day, at the brink of life and death, it was Serena Summers who snatched him back from the jaws of death.
He had witnessed the miraculous magic of traditional Chinese medicine with his own eyes and was now very interested in it.
It’s a pity, if it weren’t for Adrian Holt, perhaps Serena would have left with him.
After Leonard Kee left, the guests gathered in small groups and whispered about the incident that had just taken place.
Adrian Holt’s face was somewhat somber, and he felt as though a heavy stone was lodged in his heart.
"What’s wrong? Not happy?" Serena keenly noticed his mood dip and asked.
Adrian Holt shook his head, "It’s nothing."
He was indeed feeling a bit sulky, but with so many guests around, it wasn’t the time to talk.
Serena didn’t think much of it and slowly nodded her head, then was pulled away by Claire Lane.
Not just Claire Lane, Charlotte Summers had arrived, and even Crystal Harper, who had been busy filming lately, came.
Crystal Harper gave Serena a big hug as soon as she arrived, "Serena, long time no see!"
"Long time no see." Serena replied with a smile, patting her back and asking with concern, "Aren’t you filming in Imperial Capital? How did you find the time to come over?"
"How could I miss my sister’s birthday? Here, this is for you. Open it and see."
As Crystal spoke, she handed over the box she was carrying.
Serena reached out to take it and found it was a very exquisite gift bag.
Inside the bag was an even prettier box, tied with a light blue silk ribbon, giving it a very girlish feel.
Upon opening it, Serena found a bottle of perfume.
It was from a niche domestic brand, with the scent of sweet peach blended with a rich, creamy fragrance—pleasant without being cheap.
Serena liked it very much.
"Thank you, Crystal."
"There’s mine too, don’t forget mine!" Claire Lane and Charlotte Summers, not to be outdone, also brought out the gifts they had prepared.
In no time at all, Serena’s arms were filled to the brim.
She smiled helplessly and handed these gifts to the butler to help carry them upstairs.
The girls sat on the sofas in the sweets area, eating desserts and sipping on drinks while chatting away.
Crystal Harper leaned in close to Serena and asked in a low voice, "I heard Mr. Lucas Shaw has amnesia? But the way you two interacted just now doesn’t seem any different from before."
Serena pondered for a moment and smiled, "Maybe this is what they call being telepathic?"
Seeing the smile in Serena’s eyes, Crystal grew even more curious about the progress of their relationship.
Amnesia was something she had only seen on television before.
"Serena, do you guys still interact like this normally? Does it feel like you’re dating a different person?"
Serena lifted the wine glass in her hand and took a sip of red wine.
Under the watchful eyes of the curious, she slowly nodded her head, "At first it felt a bit like that, but now it’s much better."
What she enjoys more now is to cherish.
Cherishing every moment spent with him.
Their affection for one another had built up gradually, and even if reset to zero, they could start over again.
