Chapter 112 William's voice carried a hint of regret. "Alright." Serena gently nudged William to continue walking forward.

After a few steps in silence, William suddenly spoke up, "I heard you're planning a wedding with Aaron?" Serena's pace didn't falter. "Yes." Gripping the handrail of his wheelchair a little tighter, William offered, "Congratulations, it seems you're getting what you wanted." Serena chuckled. "Why congratulate me? Just watch, Aaron and I won't end up getting married." There was such certainty in her words that it lifted a weight from William's heart, one he'd been carrying for quite stime.

Looking up, he asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?" "Cynthia Lynwood will never let him have his way." William hesitated. "So, you really have no intention of marrying Aaron?" Serena paused, staring down at William, her expression puzzled.

His heart skipped a beat under her gaze. "Why are you looking atlike that?" "It's just curious," Serena said as she moved to stand directly in front of William. She crouched down, looking up into his eyes. "You and Aaron are business partners, yet you seem deeply invested in his personal life." Not just invested-overly concerned.

William blinked twice. "A partner's personal affairs can impact the long-term success of our business. Keeping an eye on Aaron's personal life is just a precaution to ensure it doesn't interfere with work." To Serena, this explanation seemed a bit dull.

"I thought maybe you liked Aaron, given how much interest you take in his personal life." William nearly choked. "Wh... what did you say?" "Well, it's just that," Serena continued, pushing William along once more. "I've heard you're thirty, and yet there's never been a woman in your life. In your world, it's not like there's a shortage of women." "If at thirty you still have no woman, there are only two explanations. One, maybe you prefer men." William coughed, his ears turning red. "I do not prefer men." Serena pressed her lips together, choosing not to add more.

Curiosity got the better of William. "You still haven't toldthe second reason." Serena grinned. "Never mind, if I say it, you might get upset." "Go ahead, I promise I won't be upset." "You said it," Serena chose her words carefully. "The second is... you can't... perform..." After speaking, she quickly added, "You promised not to be angry." William chuckled softly. "I'm not angry. But I do have a question." "What is it?" "Why would you suspect I might like men but not doubt my capability?" Serena's cheeks flushed crimson.

Get out of here! This isn't a conversation for the faint-hearted!

Seeing the rosy color spread across Serena's face, William's mood lifted more his even more, his smile reaching the depths of his eyes. But the thought of the marriage license brought him back to reality.

"Serena, there's actually something I cto Alderburg to discuss with you." "What is it?" Serena asked, curiosity piqued as she looked at William. She couldn't imagine what matter could involve the two of them.

Gazing into her clear eyes, William felt a pang of guilt, though he hadn't lied to her.

"Do you remember the last twe went to city hall for a marriage m license?""Of course, Serena replied. "Why do you ask?"
