Chapter 406 Grow Up Quickly

He sat in the chair of the restaurant with a cigarette pinched between his fingers. Dressed in a black shirt and trousers, his collar slightly open, Orion wore a sterf, icy expression that exuded a carefree indifference.

When he noticed Seraphina entering, a flicker of joy crossed his eyes.

Orion quickly extinguished the cigarette, stood up, and replaced his cold demeanor with a warm, inviting smile.

The transformation that occurred in mere seconds left the person opposite him in disbelief.

"Darling, what a coincidence! Meeting you truly is the highlight of my day," he declared, his voice smooth and charming. Seraphina's gaze cooled slightly.

"Darling?"

The term made her want to kick him to the curb.

She responded with a sharp glare, saying, "That's just me being unfortunate."

Orion's expression stiffened for a moment, but he remained undeterred as he stepped forward to pull out a chair for Seraphina.

The person across from him sat there, still dazed. Upon witnessing this act, he jumped up.

That man said hurriedly, "Mr. Dros, I won't take up any more of your time. Goodbye!"

Orion gave a slight nod, and the person vanished quickly.

Seraphina decided to take a seat across from him. Before she could settle in, little Dani leaped over, occupying the space right in front of her. Orion was speechless and blinked in disbelief.

This brat reminded him so much of Wilson. Just like his old man, this kid was always keen on what others

had!

Dani grinned sweetly at him. He swung his legs back and forth and said casually, "Mr. Dros, there's no seat left for you."

His provocation was utterly juvenile.

Orion clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes. Without hesitation, he scooped little Dani with one hand and placed him firmly in the inner seat.

The resoluteness of his action and demeanor left Dani no time or strength to resist.

Once everything settled, Orion took the now-empty spot and loosened his collar.

"See? Now there's room," he said, leaning back with satisfaction.

Seraphina gazed at him, her expression both calm and warning. "Orion, he's still just a kid."

Orion raised an eyebrow, glancing at Dani, whose eyes were threatening to brim with tears. "But he insists. he's an adult," he replied, a smirk tugging at his lips. Seraphina fell silent when rebuked.

Little Dani shot a sulky glance at Orion, feeling a tight knot of frustration in his chest. He wished more than anything to grow up quickly so he could take Seraphina abroad and never return. "Ms. Lovely," he huffed, "If I see someone I don't like, I can't eat!" His voice was blunt and defiant.

Seraphina lifted her gaze to Orion and urged, "Go away

So decisive?

Orion felt a twinge of hurt at her urgency.

He forced a smile, his serene gaze drifting back to Dani

"Then just close your eyes while you eat; that way, you won't see anything unpleasant."

Immediately, he turned back to Seraphina, his tone softening as he coaxed, "It's been so long since we last met. Don't you miss me at all?"

Seraphina gave a light smile and said, "There's more than just you in my life. What's there to miss?"

Orion's expression darkened in an instant, but he fought hard to rein in his emotions.

He understood that Seraphina was trying to provoke him, daring him to back down.

Not a chance!

"They're all nothing compared to me," he declared, his dark eyes flashing with a shadow.

Seraphina fell silent, clearly unwilling to say anything inappropriate in front of the child.

During the meal, she barely spoke, and he remained quiet too, simply observing her as she savored each bite.

She truly is captivating.

His gaze was intense, like a leopard stalking its prey-he was restrained yet restless, eager to strike at all times. His eyes were filled with an undeniable possessiveness.

Meanwhile, little Dani munched on his children's meal, stealing wary glances at Orion and on high alert.

Why couldn't he just grow up already? The thought gnawed at him, a mix of annoyance and determination.
