Chapter 363 Setting Aside Interests to Talk About Feelings

The air was silent for a moment. Wilson's expression remained gentle. He rubbed his temples, his tone carrying a hint of apology.

His voice was low and deep.

"It was inconsiderate of me, but I wasn't approaching Ms. Cross for the sake of marriage alliance. What if I told you it was for personal reasons? I've admired you for a long time." Seraphina lowered her eyes as she poured the tea. Hearing those last words, her hand trembled slightly.

The fragrance of tea filled the room, and a few drops spilled, catching the light of the tea like the warm rays of the sun reaching out just for her.

For a moment, her heart fluttered, and she fell into a trance.

But she quickly regained her composure, her voice cooler than before.

"Apart from our business dealings, we aren't familiar with each other. How long exactly has it been, Mr. Rockwell, since this so-called 'long time' began?"

He could come up with lies easily, but Seraphina wasn't someone who could be easily swayed by sweet words. She was skeptical of people who threw around falsehoods with ease.

Wilson met her gaze openly and explained, "It's not quite a year, but every day since I met you, I've been secretly thrilled to find you single. Seraphina, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Rockwell. I lost my wife three years ago, and I have a son."

He lowered his eyes and gave a small, self-deprecating smile. "It doesn't sound like I have much to offer, but I have a lot of money. I'm not sure of the exact amount, but if you want to know, I can have someone calculate it. It might take a while, though, since there are some assets I've forgotten about. And ...

He paused, his expression growing serious, a glimmer in his gentle eyes.

"Dani is actually my late brother's son."

Seraphina stiffened, suddenly at a loss for words.
