Serena had changed into a white lab coat.
Her striking, elegant features took on a solemn, academic aura.
It only amplified her aloof, untouchable presence, making her look entirely out of his league.
Adrian's eyes instantly locked onto her.
Back when the Wynn family first brought Serena back.
The first time he laid eyes on her.
He had been utterly captivated by that face.
But then...
Everyone around him started mocking him for having a fiancé from a backwater town.
They ridiculed her rural background, laughing at how she hadn't even finished high school, assuming she wouldn't understand a word if a conversation turned slightly intellectual.
They joked that spending too much time with her would make him reek of poverty.
Over time.
Adrian had subconsciously begun to despise her.
The more he looked at her face, the more he felt she was nothing but an empty shell—beautiful, but devoid of substance and soul.
Even when she stood beside him.
She looked less like a fiancé and more like a lowly servant.
Yet, for some inexplicable reason...
The more he watched her now, the more he felt a fatal attraction pulling him in.
That face.
Just one glance was enough to leave him breathless.
It made his heart race.
Serena stood in front of a piece of research equipment, her slender, fair fingers adjusting something on the machine.
Adrian's gaze shifted to the apparatus.
It had a matte black metal casing, completely bare, without a single trademark or brand logo.
It looked dull and unremarkable, like some haphazardly assembled DIY project.
Completely unimpressive.
