"Don't be afraid. Just think that you're my girlfriend. Then, it'll be fine." Justin looked at her sideways.
There was a strand of loose hair beside her ear. Justin naturally raised his hand and tucked it behind her ear.
Serena was stunned for a moment. A gust of wind blew over, and her nose was filled with the smell of his sea-scented perfume, just like the gentle temperament he exuded.
She recovered from her trance, blinked, and asked again, "Then should I show the imposing manner of being your girlfriend? Proclaim my sovereignty?"
Justin's gaze was gentle. "Of course."
Serena nodded. "Alright, don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
At this moment, a maid came out to welcome them. "Mr. Justin Vance, welcome back."
When the maid saw Serena, her gaze paused. Then, she quickly lowered her head and said respectfully, "Mr. Justin Vance. This way, please."
Serena's parents were from an ordinary family. When she walked into the Vance family's house and saw this, she shrugged uncomfortably.
The two of them walked into the living room shoulder to shoulder.
"Mr. and Mrs. Vance are waiting for you in the dining room," said the maid.
Justin nodded and walked into the dining room with Serena.
Justin's pupils constricted when he saw the person sitting inside.
Sitting at the dining table, Angie froze when she saw the scene at the door.
Not only Angie, but almost everyone's expressions froze for a moment. Several gazes fell on Serena's face.
Serena's heart began to beat faster. She could sense Justin's discomfort.
She picked up the fork, but she had no appetite at all.
She chewed a piece of meat in her mouth countless times but couldn't swallow it. She felt like she was a joke at this moment.
She suddenly regretted confessing to Justin.
If he didn't know her feelings, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.
During the meal, Zachary glanced at Serena and said coldly, "Serena, right? What do your parents do?"
Serena was a little nervous. Justin knew his father wanted him to marry a woman who would help the Vance family's career.
Afraid that Zachary would make things difficult for Serena, Justin spoke first. "Serena studied medicine like me. Her father is a superintendent, and her mother is a chemistry teacher. Dad, Serena is a girl from an ordinary family, but this doesn't affect her ability. After graduation, she has been doing scientific research at the leukemia research center in Soofareland."
