Chapter 308
Orion's Chance
Orion's disastrous date had finally come to an end. Seraphina and Orion both accompanied him back to the hotel.
Along the way. Dani had dozed off, but even in his sleep, he didn't forget to hold onto Seraphina's hand, curling up in her lap like a soft little kitten. At the hotel entrance, Wilson was already there, waiting.
Observing Little Dani sound asleep. Wilson chuckled. He was somewhat amused as he gently lifted the boy onto his shoulder.
"Thank you for your trouble, Ms. Cross," he said with a polite smile.
"Not at all. Little Dani's such a sweetheart; he didn't cause us any trouble at all." Seraphina replied with a
smile..
Meanwhile. Orion was sitting in the car and rolled his eyes at her words. If anyone had caused trouble tonight, it was definitely Dani!
Wilson's eyes twinkled as his smile grew wider.
"Is that so? Well, that's good to hear," he said lightly.
"Oh, by the way, here
Seraphina pulled out a small pouch of diamonds. Under the dim light, the gems sparkled, their brilliance exuding an air of icy elegance, a silent testament to their value. "Little Dani gave these to me, but he doesn't yet understand their worth. You should take them back."
Wilson raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"There's no need. If he gave them to you, they're yours now. If I took them back, Dani might just disown me! 'ilson chuckled and nodded at Orion, who was sitting in the car. "Well, I'll take my leave now. Mr. Orion, Ms. Cross, thank you for bringing Dani back."
Without waiting for Seraphina's surprised response, Wilson carried Dani inside the hotel, not giving Seraphina any more room for protest.
Orion scoffed, didn't bother acknowledging Wilson's gratitude, and remained distant.
Seraphina stood frozen for a moment, eventually slipping the diamonds back into her bag with resignation.
So, Dani's spendrift style came from his father?
Given Wilson's carefree attitude, Seraphina decided not to argue further.
To a man as wealthy as Wilson, a pouch of diamonds wasn't worth much. Insisting on refusing it would only make her seem small-minded.

something even more extravagant.

Speaking of birthdays, Seraphina suddenly remembered that Emeris birthday was coming up soon.
On her way home, Seraphina didn't ride with Orion. She'd seen how much stress Dani had caused him today, and she wasn't eager to get into a car alone with him. She worried he might drive straight to his place in a fit of frustration.
Instead, she called Justin to pick her up.
Orion was disappointed, but he had no choice but to return home alone.
Before long, it was time for Emeris birthday.
Seraphina didn't bring much when she arrived at the party, and she didn't leave with much either.
Standing cheerfully at the entrance to the company, she waved goodbye to Orion.
Finally, she enjoyed a few days without him.
Orion watched her depart, his expression soft and gentle. Once she was gone, however, his gaze turned icy as he looked at Ken.
He asked, "Are the preparations in place?"
Ken nodded confidently and said, "Of course. Everything's set. Don't worry."
Orion's expression remained stoic, but the slight upward twitch of his lips betrayed his relief.
Emeris birthday celebration was one that Orion had been looking forward to more than anyone else- other than the Crosses, of course.
He planned to use this opportunity to strengthen his ties with the Crosses. If he could win their support, Seraphina might finally stop resisting their remarriage
Emeris birthday party was a small affair, limited to close business associates and friends. It wasn't a grand event, just an intimate, luxurious gathering on a yacht by the sea.
Sivir and Justin were busy greeting the guests, while Sergio had managed to make time to attend the occasion.
Seraphina stood beside Emeris, exchanging pleasantries with the guests. She held a glass of wine, her smile calm and reserved.
"Mr. Cross, your daughter had really outdone you. Securing Mr. Wilson's project-it's got us all green with envy, one of the guests remarked.
Seraphina lowered her gaze and said modestly, "It's just luck."
Emeris chimed in, "Of course, but skill is what really counts."
The guest hurried to agree. "Yes, yes, of course."
Seraphina vlanced sideways at her father beinlessly sumressing a smile. She hit her lin slightly her

expression both radiant and confident,

A group of people entered from across the deck, and the man at the front caught sight of her smile. His gaze faltered for a brief moment Lucius was walking just behind him. He had been about to speak but stopped when he noticed Orion's
distraction.
"What are you looking at?" Laucius asked.
Lucius followed Orion's gaze and saw Seraphina and Emeris laughing with the guests.
Orion quickly averted his gaze and said, "Tin just admiring the yacht. It's quite beautiful."
Lucius raised an eyebrow and fell speechless.
