Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 340: The Kiss Witnessed

A few girlfriends couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker when they heard Serena Summers say that.

Crystal Harper’s eyes brightened as she excitedly said, "That’s so romantic, isn’t it? Despite losing his memory, he still came back to you..."

"What’s so romantic about that? You only saw the sweet part, not knowing how much our Serena has suffered."

Just then, a deep voice suddenly came from above.

Crystal Harper looked up to find herself meeting Vincent Carter’s cold and deep gaze.

She was startled for a moment, then retorted, "People say that sweetness comes after hardship. Only if a relationship survives through tough times can it become more precious."

Swirling his glass, Vincent Carter’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, "That’s because the hardship hasn’t fallen on you. If you personally experienced the pain Serena went through, you wouldn’t think so."

"You!" Crystal Harper was at a loss for words due to his comeback and glared at him with puffed cheeks, "If you’ve got nothing nice to say, then don’t say anything at all."

Upon seeing this, Serena Summers couldn’t help but say, "Second senior brother, how can you be so mean to Crystal?"

Vincent Carter cried out in protest, "When did I ever bully her? Aren’t I just stating the facts? Besides, I am your dear second senior brother; why are you turning against me?"

Serena Summers pursed her lips, thinking to herself, just be stubborn for now, you’ll regret it later.

"We are having a girls’ talk here, you men should stay away and not spoil our mood."

Crystal Harper and Charlotte Summers quickly echoed, "Exactly, exactly!"

Vincent Carter, who became the target of public criticism with just one comment: "..."

Fine then, he’s the extra one.

"I’m going, I’m going, isn’t that enough?"

Having said that, he sighed deeply and walked away from the dessert area.

Watching his retreating figure, Crystal Harper couldn’t resist and made a face at him.

After all, Vincent Carter had finished filming his scene, and she wasn’t afraid of him anymore.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the man walking ahead suddenly paused and turned to look back at her.

Her face was still twisted in mockery.

A major social faux pas on display.

The two looked at each other from a distance; Crystal Harper’s hands suddenly went stiff, and she hurriedly retracted them, pretending as if nothing had happened.

With an air of resignation, Vincent Carter chuckled lightly, didn’t say a word, and turned to leave.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Crystal Harper heave a sigh of relief.

It’s all over now; Vincent Carter must have seen her making a face at him just now. What if he makes it difficult for her on the next movie set?

Upon hearing her concerns, Serena Summers couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, my second senior brother isn’t like that."

But Crystal Harper wasn’t as optimistic as Serena Summers; she pouted and worriedly said, "That’s your second senior brother; of course, you would defend him. It’s all over, what if he holds a grudge?"

Serena Summers looked on, wanting to laugh. This silly girl was just like Brandon Reese, always enjoying the sight of others in love.

But when it comes to herself, it’s like she’s missing a beat.

It’s been two years, and her second senior brother always finds excuses to be near Crystal Harper, and she is completely oblivious.

For a moment, Serena Summers didn’t know who to feel sorry for.

However, she had no intention of reminding Crystal Harper, because, from what she could see, Crystal Harper didn’t seem to feel anything for her second senior brother.

Love is a matter of the right timing, the right place, and mutual feelings. If she bursts their bubble now, meetings in the future would definitely become awkward.

Better to let them figure it out slowly by themselves.

After a while, having had quite a few drinks, Serena Summers gradually began to feel tipsy.

She excused herself to the few girls beside her and got up to go to the restroom.

After coming out, she stood in front of the washbasin to touch up her lipstick, and suddenly a familiar figure appeared in the mirror.

Without uttering a word, the person walked directly behind her and held her tightly.

The chin resting gently on the top of her hair, a hint of a smile tinged the deep black eyes, "Did you enjoy tonight?"

"Mm, weren’t you supposed to entertain the guests?"

"Those sisters of yours, really, they kept holding on to you, I couldn’t find a chance to get close."

A low voice mixed with a tinge of grievance.

Serena couldn’t help laughing, cuddling in his embrace, looking at him through the mirror above the washstand, "With all those business tycoons who are on good terms with the Shaw Family talking to you, why come to me?"

"Talking to them is so tiring, really taxes the brain. They all like to beat around the bush; something that could be solved in one sentence, they can talk about for half an hour, dragging the topic from here to there, from celebrity gossip to social news."

Very annoying.

It’s not that he couldn’t handle them; it’s just that with things on his mind, he couldn’t be bothered with those people.

After all, it’s Liam Shaw who’s actually managing the company now, nothing to do with him.

So he really didn’t want to listen to those people talk.

Seeing that Serena came to the washroom, he also found an excuse to slip away and come over.

He supported Serena’s shoulders, turned her to face him, then bent down and kissed her lips.

Not giving Serena a chance to react.

Feeling the warmth on her lips, Serena’s pupils dilated slightly, wanting to say something, but all her words were blocked by the man’s lips.

Adrian Holt wrapped one hand around her slender waist, the other cupping the back of her head, slowly deepening the kiss.

Not giving Serena any chance to struggle. freewebnσvel.cѳm

His kiss was hot and intense, enveloping Serena tightly.

Only after leaving her breathless did he reluctantly let her go.

Serena covered her slightly swollen lips, glancing at him reproachfully, "What are you doing? There are people everywhere here."

"It’s okay, I’ve had someone put a sign at the door, no one will come in."

Adrian Holt said, leaning in for another kiss.

This time, unlike the hurried first, it was gentler, like a soft breeze and gentle rain, nourishing quietly.

Intimately entwining, irresistibly captivating.

As the kisses continued, his hands began to misbehave, sliding off the suit jacket draped over her, flinging it carelessly to the side.

His scorching palms caressed her exposed smooth back and slender waist.

"Mm... don’t."

Realizing what he was about to do, Serena immediately came to her senses and hastily stopped his movements.

Adrian Holt’s hands paused, pecking her lips gently, obediently stilling his hands.

At that moment, the washroom door suddenly made a noise as it was pushed open from the outside.

Serena and Adrian Holt were stunned, looking towards the direction of the door, to see Liam Shaw standing at the entrance, staring at the two with a baffled expression.

Liam Shaw was taken aback, not expecting to walk in on such a scene, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"Sorry, wrong room."

After saying that, he quickly stepped out and closed the washroom door behind him.

The washroom and various household appliances in the house are regularly maintained and checked, and by all accounts, there shouldn’t have been any malfunctions at this time as they had just been checked a few days ago.

Moreover, if there really was a problem, the servants would have definitely informed the butler right away.

So he wanted to come in and have a look.

He didn’t expect... to see the scene just now.

This rascal, with so many people attending the banquet today, doesn’t know to be a bit more discreet.

Not afraid of being seen by outsiders.
