LittleNovelChapter 172 Today, Serena was a vision transformed. She had put on makeup with particular care, and the result was enchanting, like a fairy stepping out of a woodland realm.
Her long, carefully curled hair cascaded like a waterfall, and her exquisite and alluring makeup rendered her as radiant and regal as a blooming flower.
Samuel was momentarily struck speechless, staring at her in awe until he finally gathered his wits. "Letget the car door for you." "No need, I can manage," Serena said, opening the door herself and sliding into the seat.
Samuel was still lingering in the afterglow of her beauty, his heart pounding wildly. He knew Serena was beautiful, but today she was breathtakingly so.

"Samuel?" Serena's puzzled voice drew him out of his reverie. "Why aren't we moving?" Snapping back to the present, Samuel replied, "Oh, right. Let's pick up Joy from school first." "Okay." They soon arrived at the school, and Joy, who had dressed up rather nicely herself, joined them. But beside Serena, her efforts seemed to fade into the background.
Despite a twinge of jealousy, Joy maintained a sweet smile. "Serena, I have a gift for you. You must accept it." It was a lipstick. Serena glanced at Samuel, noting the hopeful look in his eyes, and then put it away with a nod.
The three of them then headed to a restaurant.
The restaurant was located near the city center, where the average meal cost a little over a hundred dollars-a significant expense for Joy.
As Samuel settled into his seat, his mind drifted back to college, to the day Serena first introduced Aaron to everyone. He recalled the disdainful look in Aaron's eyes.
"You usually eat here?" That day had also been at a hundred-dollar restaurant-a meal Samuel had saved for two weeks to afford. "Hey, what's with the daydreaming? Order something already!" Joy urged.
Samuel snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Serena, but his gaze lacked the earlier conviction.
What they didn't know was that just across the street, Aaron sat in his Rolls-Royce, staring intently in the direction of the restaurant.
Noticing his distraction, Cynthia Lynwood followed Aaron's gaze and caught sight of Serena and Samuel. Her eyes lit up with a certain gleam.

Aaron's smile deepened, and he fixed his gaze on Cynthia a Lynwood. "Dal you honestly believe Serena would end up with Samuel?"
Cynthia looked at Aaron, puzzled. "Why wouldn't she? Serena always seems so joyful with VP Lewis. Isn't that what love is?" Aaron's expression turned icy.
Cynthia fell silent, her shoulders shrinking at Aaron's sudden chill, watching him with trepidation.
After a moment, Aaron finally turned his attention back to the restaurant, his eyes settling on Serena.
There was no way Serena and Samuel would end up together. Someone accustomed to luxury wouldn't settle for a simple life.
To Aaron, Serena was like a rebellious child. Once this phasen passed, she would naturally understand the importance of material wealth. With his gaze now alight with newfound clarity, Aaron signaled his driver to move on.
