My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 697 Invite Serene

When Alicia heard Shawn's voice, she turned her head to look at me. I quickly averted my gaze because taking care of the two children had delayed our mealtime. Meanwhile, Kevin and Serene had just woken up and came downstairs to join us. Half an hour later, May and Emma arrived at my house. I was practicing the piano with Serene in the music room then.

Emma asked, "Serene, would you like to join us in the dance performance? We plan to surprise everyone at the first birthday banquet."

I was still not used to Emma's new haircut; it was just too cute! I couldn't help but want to pinch her cheeks.

Serene hesitantly asked, "Can I?"

Emma raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Why not?"

Serene reluctantly answered, "This is your—"

"You clearly want to be a part of Ian's world, "Emma interrupted her, "but you're holding yourself back! It's been like this for so many years. Let me tell you, you are Mrs. Zeller, and his world is your world. There's nothing you can't do."

Emma had seen through Serene's thoughts.

She seemed to understand everything.

She wanted to support Serene as much as she understood her.

Emma encouraged Serene, saying, "We are friends even if you have no relationship with Ian, so why can't you participate?"

Emma kept motivating Serene.

Serene's gaze deepened slightly at those words. "Thank you, but I've only learned ballet. I'm afraid I'm not good at other dance styles."

"It's okay. You'll be fine as long as you have a foundation in dance! Troy has gotten us a choreographer. They should be here in about ten minutes."

I spoke up first. "I'm not very good at dancing since I only took dance classes when I was a child, but I can learn."

May also chimed in, "I'm quite good at dancing. The university I attended is a famous music school, so Olivia and I are alumni. During my time in college, I often participated in activities at the school. It has been years since I last rehearsed a dance though."

"I can dance too." Emma smiled. "Y'all know that I like things that are fun and cool. I've learned almost all the cool dance styles."

Serene eventually put on a graceful smile. "We've known each other for two years. I know you well. What can't you do?"

Emma sheepishly confessed, "I can't cook."

This lady in front of me was sometimes cute, sometimes cunning and sly, sometimes innocent and kind, and sometimes wise and intelligent.

Emma had a hundred different sides in front of everyone she met.

I wondered if the personalities of geniuses were always so changeable.

"Is that a big deal?" Serene teased.

"Yes! I feel guilty that Christopher has to cook for us every day. He doesn't even want to go out with me anymore nowadays."

Hearing that, May asked her, "Have you thought about the reason?"

"What reason?" Emma asked, confused,

"Well, you two have a big age gap. This cute hairstyle of yours is only making you look several years younger. How can he take you out?" May explained.

Emma was suddenly hit by realization. "So that's the reason."

then sighed. "Having an older husband like Christopher comes with psychological obstacles. That's why I was always cold to him when he first pursued me. But thinking back,
