CHAPTER 759: CHAPTER 759: PURE YET TEMPTING

No one knew about this, and unexpectedly, the first person to find out was Serena Sterling.

Jude Crawford put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, "When did you find out?"

He knew Isabelle Willow’s character very well; she would never dare to disclose things like dreams of spring or the secret soreness she felt to anyone.

"Jude, the last time, I took Aunt Yara’s pulse. Aunt Yara is very weak. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but today I finally confirmed it."

In recent years, Isabelle Willow’s emotional life was a blank slate, without a single man around her. After returning, she was fiercely taken by him twice, without restraint, leaving her body immediately weak.

"Where is Yara now? I’ll go find her." Jude Crawford said.

"Alright, I told you already, Aunt Yara and I flew to the City of Aethelgard. Jude, we’re waiting for you in Aethelgard." With that, Serena Sterling hung up the phone.

Listening to the "beep beep" on the other end, Jude Crawford, "..."

This Serena Sterling was bold enough to dare to threaten him. She deliberately took Yara away, demanding he fly to the City of Aethelgard.

Jude Crawford chuckled angrily and called out, "Butler Thorne, prepare the private jet, we’re flying to Aethelgard."

...

Serena Sterling hung up the phone. She had always said, she knows how to deal with Jude Crawford because Isabelle Willow is Jude Crawford’s exception in life.

Serena Sterling packed away her phone, ready to set off.

Just then, a charming voice came to her ears, "Serena, how is Yara?"

Seraphina Linden had come over.

Seeing her own mom, Serena Sterling felt a little headache. She dared not take her mom on this trip to Aethelgard. They say girlfriends can’t stand each other’s men, and if her mom went, things would become chaotic between Jude and Aunt Yara.

"Mom, Aunt Yara is fine."

"Really?" Seraphina Linden gave Serena Sterling a suspicious look, "Serena, your Aunt Yara isn’t being bullied by that old fox Jude, is she? I can tell Jude has been hungry for too long. We can’t let Yara fall into his hands again."

"...I know, Mom~"

"Alright, I’m going to check on Yara now." Seraphina Linden was still uneasy about Isabelle Willow.

Serena Sterling quickly blocked Seraphina Linden’s path, "Mom~"

Seraphina Linden stopped in her tracks, gave Serena a good look, then blinked, "Serena, honestly, is there something you’re hiding from me? What’s really going on with Yara?"

Who was Seraphina Linden, if not Serena’s mom? When it comes to wicked schemes, Seraphina was a pioneer.

Serena realized she couldn’t hide it, her little head quickly spinning with ideas, then she said quietly, "Mom, let me tell you something, but you mustn’t tell anyone, because I’m not yet sure. Just now, when I took Aunt Yara’s pulse, it seemed like she might be... pregnant."

Seraphina Linden gasped, "What, pregnant?"

Seraphina Linden immediately rolled up her sleeves, turning to leave, looking like she was about to fight someone.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"I’m going to find Jude Crawford! That old fox, silently getting Yara pregnant!"

"...Mom, calm down, because Aunt Yara’s pulse reading isn’t very clear yet, and we don’t have conclusive evidence. How about this, you go to the pharmacy outside and buy a pregnancy test and we’ll check Aunt Yara."

Seraphina looked at Serena, "If it turns out positive, we’ll throw the pregnancy test right in Jude Crawford’s face, that shameless old man!"

The "shameless old man" Jude Crawford, "..."

Serena Sterling’s forehead twitched. Only her mom dared to mess with the Tiger; she wouldn’t dare, "Yes, throw it in his face!"

Seraphina reluctantly agreed, "Alright then, I’ll go buy a pregnancy test, you and Yara wait for me here."

"Okay, Mom~"

Seraphina Linden left.

Seeing her mom leave, Serena Sterling let out a big sigh of relief, immediately turned and ran, "Cherie, start the car, head to Aethelgard!"

...

Seraphina Linden still didn’t know she had been left behind, walking through the corridor to go buy a pregnancy test.

Just then, her slender wrist was suddenly grasped tightly, a strong force pulling her into the men’s restroom.

She quickly stabilized herself, and in sight was... Julian Rathborne’s handsome face.

Julian Rathborne!

Long time, no see!

"Mr. Rathborne, what are you pulling me into the men’s restroom for, to watch you pee?" Seraphina Linden curled her red lips.

Julian Rathborne frowned slightly, his whole aura a bit gloomy. The last time in the club she left him a yellow card and ran away, and now she still had the audacity to speak so shamelessly upon seeing him.

"Seraphina Linden, you actually let the words ’pee’ come out of your mouth. Where is your refinement?"

Seraphina Linden found it amusing, "Mr. Rathborne, then tell me, what elegant word would you use for peeing?"

"Mr. Rathborne" Julian Rathborne, "..."

"Don’t shift the topic!" Julian Rathborne took out the yellow card, "What is this, Seraphina Linden, who gave you the courage?"

Seraphina Linden glanced at it. The yellow card looked quite familiar, depicting a scantily-clad woman offering hotel services for 200 a night, complete service, satisfaction guaranteed.

Seraphina Linden recognized it; this was what she had left him.

"Oh, Mr. Rathborne, your face looks so sour, didn’t the service on this satisfy you?" As she spoke, Seraphina Linden brought her alluringly charming face closer to Julian Rathborne, slowly nearing him, observing his gentle and abstinent handsome face.

As the two of them got closer, Julian Rathborne caught the scent on her, like poppies, addictive with just a sniff.

His mind recalled the last time at the club, the kiss pressing down on her...

Julian Rathborne’s Adam’s apple rolled, "I don’t want this card, take it back!"

Seeing he seemed a bit angry, as if her card had tainted his reputation, this man, despite his age, still carried the demeanor of a noble young master, a pure-hearted boy.

Seraphina Linden found teasing him so amusing, she immediately held out her hand to him, "Alright, then return me something else too."

"What thing?"

"The inflatable doll I gave you." Seraphina’s large, captivating eyes blinked innocently at him, pure and tempting, "Mr. Rathborne, you haven’t already... enjoyed it, have you?"

"..."

This woman, how many shameless words would she utter? Julian Rathborne’s charming eyes darkened further.

"Whatever, whatever, enjoying it isn’t something embarrassing anyway. Rest assured, I won’t tell anyone, Mr. Rathborne, I have things to do, I’m off." Seraphina Linden lifted her foot to leave.

Today Seraphina was wearing a coat, and underneath was a white dress with a slit, a rather high slit, and with each step, her long, slender legs became faintly visible.
