The Uncle They Never Saw Coming — Episode 7

I think we should let Adrian do it. I shook my head immediately. Adrian has a lot of family business to handle every day. Let's pick someone else.

I remember that Gideon is still unmarried. It would be more appropriate for him to stand in for Lucien at the wedding. Madam M. Isabella nodded. That works, too.

On the way back to the Hart family estate, I was lost in thought about the past. Adrian and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Back then, we talked about almost everything.

We would even sneak away from the bodyguards and slip out of the estate to hang out on the streets of New One year, a car lost control and rushed toward us on the street. I pushed Adrian away, almost instinctively, saving his life. But I was knocked to the ground by the car myself.

Back then, Adrian was sweating with worry. He held my hand tightly and promised me over and over again. Serena, don't worry. I'll definitely marry you someday.

But at some point, Adrian started distancing himself from me and even grew to despise me. I can't even remember when it started. In my past life, I was always heartbroken over this.
