Chapter 249 - As expected from Max (1/2)
After some time, Logan Jin finally went out from his silence and sternly murmurs. ”If you insist on holding on with Liam -- then, marry him.”
Seraphina though slightly taken aback by how fast Logan changes his mind, she still successfully kept her unfazed front. Raising her brows along with the side of her lips, Seraphina's interest was slightly piqued. ”oh? did I heard uncle correctly?”
”Sera, I warned you to let Liam alone not for his sake but to you as well. Seeing you that you wanted to drag the whole Jin family to your own mess -- then, be a Jin... if you have what it takes.”
Seraphina unclasped her hands as she taps her index finger on the table-- pondering and kernelizing the meaning behind Logan Jin. Alas, even to Seraphina, his intention can only vaguely be understood. Is he bluffing or is he serious? Questions like that circled around Seraphina's head for a brief time.
”well, I always intend to marry Liam for my own benefit. So, why not, father-in-law?” still, Seraphina took on the challenged as she has to see for herself and understood what lies behind the Jin family that she hadn't noticed yet. Moreover, it will be easier for her to be a part of a powerful family that can either protect her illegal deeds or exposes her. Nonetheless, she has to keep these Jin's in a close watch. After all, her grandfather is under their care and divorce can happen any time.
”Sera... don't tell me in the future that I didn't warn you.” Logan Jin uttered as he earnestly stares at her deceiving and harmless front before retracting his eyes. Logan then sighed heavily and wordlessly took his leave. This time, Seraphina permitted Logan Jin to leave without a word as she contemplated about his last words.
'Liam... Liam,'
Though Seraphina doesn't want to question Liam despite Rex and Wren's objection towards him, alas, this time, Logan's words successfully planted a little sprout of suspicion towards his son. Whether it was his agenda so that Seraphina should leave Liam alone or he was dead serious -- Seraphina was curious.
'Liam, I don't care what mystery lies behind your kind gestures but, don't make me your enemy -- not you.'
As selfish and self-centered as she can be, Seraphina decided to give Liam the benefit of the doubt. After all, Liam is a very important individual in her life. Hence, she buried the suspicion that was planted to her deep inside her heart -- without the need of nourishing it.
