Everywhere were people they knew, worried about being seen, Serena hurriedly pushed him away: "If you want to do it, come to my place."
Adrian straightened up, his gaze ambiguous as he looked at her: "I've been waiting for you all night."
"I didn't ask you to wait. You can not wait and go find someone else." Serena didn't want to go to the Shaw Family's house; just the thought made her resist.
"Serena, stop provoking me." Adrian's expression turned cold, his voice laced with the chill of a snowy mountain.
All day being told to find other women, pushed away like some contagion, as if he'd cause immediate and fatal harm.
While others went to great lengths to see him, she avoided him as if he were deadly.
Serena said: "I'm not provoking you."
Adrian's gaze fixed on her face, noting how much she had changed, increasingly distancing herself from him.
If Serena's quietness from ten years ago was due to her personality, her current aloofness was purely unwillingness to be near him.
