Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 353

Wasn't Jenson asking about what Suzanne had been up to lately? Then Seline would let Jenson know that Suzanne was already taken. She wasn't someone he should still be thinking about.

Jenson's expression instantly darkened. The warmth on his face faded as he asked with displeasure, "Who?"

Even if he didn't think much of Suzanne, she was still his woman. How could she have someone else she liked? Wasn't Suzanne in love with him?

That sharp edge in his voice made Seline's hand tremble slightly as she held her cutlery. What did Jenson mean by that? Was he throwing a fit because he was unwilling to let go?

Seline looked at Jenson, her voice carrying a hint of grievance. "Jenson, do you still have feelings for Sue?"

All the joy she felt just moments ago was now turning into bitter resentment.

That bitch! Why couldn't she just die?

Suzanne had already broken up with Jenson, yet she was still clinging to his heart.

Jenson seemed to realize something had been off in his tone. His expression eased a bit as he looked at Seline and said gently, "I know you've always been sensible."

But there was a warning buried in his words.

They were just a few simple words, yet they felt like hands wrapped around Seline's neck, making it impossible for her to say anything to him. All these years, she had always been the sensible and obedient one in front of Jenson. Whatever Jenson said went, and Seline didn't dare defy him.

After all, she still wanted to marry him. She had to be the future Mrs. Lambert.

Seline lowered her head and nodded with a hint of sadness. "I don't know who's pursuing Sue. Whoever sent the flowers didn't leave a name. But she looked really happy."

Jenson's expression darkened. Beneath the table, his hand clenched into a fist. At a time like this, he absolutely couldn't let someone else steal a march on him.

He nodded. "Got it."

He didn't say anything more after that. He only ate a few bites, clearly just going through the motions.

Seline wanted to keep talking to him, but he had already set down his cutlery and stood up. "Seline, I have something to take care of. You finish up and head back on your own."

He pulled on his mask and walked out of the private room without looking back.

Staring at him, Seline immediately called out, "Jenson."
