Chapter 257 - I had a dream about a burning house (1/2)
Hearing how certain Seraphina spats her threat, George Yue entered a new height of panic in his heart. Altering his gaze on the table knife that was fixed standing erect in between the crack plate, he gulped a mouthful of saliva.
Does she mean that she will kill him herself? Literally murdering him? Indeed, Seraphina's audacity reached its peak and even spats a very ridiculous joke or is she bluffing? George Yue was mind boggled on what to believe and what shouldn't.
After all, killing someone takes a lot of vicious and strong emotions to take someone life. Even to him, he might probably order someone to kill her but he can't do it himself. Alas, what George Yue don't realize that there isn't a huge difference of ordering someone to assassinate someone and doing it himself.
Examining his mix expression of fear and shock, the corners of Seraphina's pink albeit crack lips curled upward. After all, George Yue's expression tells her what he was exactly thinking. 'Right, George. Be confused -- believe it or not, but I am itching to drag you to hell.'
”By the way, you should live here too. I want to continue my Gramps legacy by rescuing stray dogs.” She uttered in a completely blunt tone as if she wasn't insulting him right in front of his face. Raising her brows as a wide smug grin is plastered across her face, Seraphina tilts her head in anticipation. She added in urgency,
”What do you think, Uncle?”
”Huh, bullshit! I refuse.” George Yue isn't out of his mind to agree with her as he knew what she was planning. Hence, no matter how Seraphina intimidates him by spewing hazardous words -- he will never give in and let her keep a close watch on him.
”Hmm? Alright. I was just you know, thinks that this house is the safest place for you. Lately, I've been having nightmares about a never-ending flame.” shaking her head, Seraphina heavily sighs as if the whole world wronged her.
George Yue who was witnessing her disheartened act can't help his eyes to twitch. Who is she scamming by pretending to be a concern niece now after all the threats she blurted out? Just then, his phone vibrated that was inside his suit pocket. Raising his brows, George Yue subconsciously peered at Seraphina in caution.
Smiling as she nods as if giving him permission from his silent excuse, George Yue scoffs in dismay. Though he wasn't asking for her warrant of letting him answer his incoming call because he will pick it up anyway and leave the delusional girl -- alas, his expression shows otherwise.
Seeing the caller ID of his assistant, George Yue cast a disdain glance at Seraphina before turning his back on him attempting to leave. Answering the call on the way, George Yue halts on his tracks the moment he heard his personal assistant news.
Slowly turning his head towards Seraphina who is now faintly singing while her left hand is propping on her chin as the other hand fiddles a fork and plays with the food that was left on her plate.
”I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside~”
”Because I locked the door,
