Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 334

Serene’s eyes were startled wide open. She opened her jaw wide in disbelief as she repeated her question, “You... are you saying that you’re now… you’re now at the ground floor of my house in Clear River Town?”

“I’ll give you a minute to come downstairs.”

Serene was speechless.

Serene’s parent’s voices could be heard coming from the kitchen, “Honey, the dumplings are ready. Hurry up and have some. What condiments do you wish to have with your dumplings?”

Serene whispered, “But... but I’m about to eat some dumplings though!”

“Or, do you want me to go upstairs and look for you directly?”

Although Wilson’s voice sounded calm, Serene could obviously tell that he was threatening her.

The phone call ended before she could even say anything else.

Serene felt helpless and slightly terrified when she heard the beeping sounds when the phone call was hung up.

Why did Hades Jarret have to drop by Clear Water Town during the New Year? Was he paying his relatives a visit again this time?

Serene was afraid of him actually coming upstairs and his parents would assume that he was Chainer. The previous encounter was already embarrassing enough and she did not wish to lie to her parents again.

When Serene’s parents brought the dumplings out, she was no longer in the living room.

“Huh? Where did Serene wander off to?”

“Yeah, she was just here a moment ago though. Honey? Serene?”

…

Serene bolted downstairs in a long black down jacket.

As expected, Wilson’s black Audi was parked downstairs.

The man was wearing a black windbreaker while standing amidst the cold night. He was holding onto a lit cigarette in between his long slender fingers. He looked elegant.

Serene was stunned at that moment.

It was not because she had never seen handsome men before as there were plenty of attractive men while she was still studying at North City Medical University. These men were either the most attractive in the school, the class or some seniors who were basketball players. However, their looks were quite different to Wilson’s. As for how they differed though, Serene could not come up with an explanation on a whim.

Perhaps… this was the charm of a mature man Shirley told her about?

Serene scratched her head while standing a tiny distance away from him. She awkwardly asked, “You... what are you doing in Clear River Town?”

How did this man who just sent her a WeChat text message a second ago airdrop himself into this small town the next?

Did he teleport?

Wilson raised his brows. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with her opening line. He shook the ash off his cigarette with his fingers and spoke in a neutral tone, “So, you can drop by Clear River Town and I can’t?”

Serene was speechless.

That was not what she meant.

“Master, are you here to visit that relative of yours?”

Wilson replied, “Come over.”

Was this brat afraid of him eating her for standing so far away from him?

Was he really that scary and was no different to a monster in her eyes?

Serene bit her lips, took a few steps forward and when she was close to him, she was suffocated by the cigarette scent that lingered around him. She coughed, “Cough, cough.”

Wilson frowned deeper as he said, “Can’t stand the scent of cigarettes?”

Serene mumbled, “My dad never smokes and besides... breathing in secondhand smoke is one way to die sooner.”

Wilson cracked a subtle smile while staring at her with a burning dark gaze. With a slight movement of his hand holding the cigarette, he tossed it next to his foot before extinguishing it with his leather shoes.

Serene lowered her tiny face as she stared at those black glossy leather shoes approaching closer to the tips of her shoes. She wanted to take a step back instinctively. However, the man’s long slender arm was a step faster than her as he hugged her waist.

Serene was startled and the moment she looked up, she was met with Wilson’s charmingly deep gaze.

Serene was left speechless.

Why was he trying to act all smug and cool under her apartment amidst the cold wind?

Wilson lowered his handsome face and asked while completely fixated on her tiny face, “What’s up with that single Happy New Year wish?”

“Well, I just sent it by mistake. I only wanted to send it to my colleague… huuu!”

He pressed his lips against hers. That stopped her from breathing.

Serene was speechless again.

Be with Wilson? He was her internship teacher though. He was the Hades Jarret that she was required to keep her guard up whenever she was procrastinating at work.

“Your silence means that you agree now?”

Serene was still left speechless.

Serene did not know if she should nod or shake her head.

Upon noticing her long silence, Wilson pulled her tiny hands away, turned around and was about to leave.

Serene frantically said, “You’re leaving so soon?”

Wilson teased her intentionally, “What do you think? Should I wait for you to reject me then?”

Serene frowned when she noticed that Wilson was actually leaving. She said, “I haven’t come to a decision yet and I never said that I’d reject you. I never perceived you as a potential partner and I’ve always treated you as my internship instructor, my supervisor. You’re just like my lecturer in university…”

Wilson opened the door to his car while staring right back at her. He asked, “How old is your university lecturer?”

‘Well… he might be in his forties, maybe fifties? He seemed to also be in his sixties too. He would reach his age of retirement soon.’

“Fifties…”

Wilson was furious as he said, “You compare me to an old man?”

The man was about to immediately get into the car when Serene suddenly found the courage to run up to him and hug his waist.

She could not help but admit that this man’s body was incredible. With that hug alone, she could clearly feel the firm muscles on his body.

The man asked in an annoyed tone, “Don’t compare me to an old man in his fifties. What are you hugging me for?”

Serene looked up into the sky. She blinked while speaking half-truths, “Initially, I think of you as my lecturer. However, I’m not so sure myself just why you’re so different and I can’t explain this different feeling I feel. That’s because my lecturers are nice to me and although your temper is pretty awful at times but I know that you care about me in your heart. Or else, you wouldn’t bring me home after I got drunk.”

Wilson stood there and allowed that woman to hug him from behind while listening to her speech.

Serene continued, “I heard from the staff in the hospital that your family background is pretty impressive but I’m not too sure about the full extent of how impressive your family is. You keep kissing and hugging me all the time and the truth is… I don’t really like that because I feel like you’re just messing with me. However… It looks like I can’t stop you from doing that as well.”

Wilson raised his brows and questioned her coldly, “So, what you’re saying is, I’m sexually harassing you in the workplace?”
