He was still alive when he was fished out, unscathed except for fainting.

The poor mermaid was transported from the ship, put into a wooden box, and transported ashore.

In the evening, drizzle began to fall from the sky that had been gloomy all day, and the lights in the manor were brightly lit.

Sera was dressed in black and sitting in front of the burning fireplace, with no extra decorations on her body. Compared with Anaxi, who had just come downstairs after dressing up since the afternoon, she became a black background with jewels.

The butler came in and said, "The Duke's car is almost at the door."

Sierra lazily got up from the sofa and followed the excited mother and daughter to the door to greet them.

The car's tungsten headlights shone two beams of light from the rain in the distance. The servant holding an umbrella stood in the rain and opened the door, allowing the distinguished guests inside to get out of the car and enter the house without being touched by the drizzle.

Lizzie shook hands with the leather-gloved hand and said, "Duke, welcome, you are so brilliant."

The man in front of her was even more shocked than he looked in the pictorial. An astonishing brilliance burst out in Anaxi's eyes, "Welcome, sir."

Rose Hill's eyes stayed on her for a moment, then turned to the girl in a black dress who smiled kindly at him.

"Good evening, Duke of Rosehill." She knelt down and saluted, her face looking very distant, not at all as enthusiastic as she was on the ship.

"Good evening." He nodded his chin calmly as a greeting to her.

Caught in the middle and only getting a look from the Duke, Annahi immediately clenched her fingers, and Josie tried to smooth things over, "Take a seat, dinner is ready."

Sierra sat opposite Lizzie, and Josie sat on her right, which meant that Rose Hill could only sit in the empty seat next to Annashe.

She looked at the two people sitting side by side and sighed inwardly.

The handsome man and the beautiful woman are indeed a perfect match.

Rose Hill glanced at her faintly, and Sera immediately looked away after hearing her voice.

The servants began to serve the appetizer, a spicy and appetizing seafood soup.

Lizzie spoke polite words skillfully. He could talk about everything from baseball to music, and he and the two women worked hard to liven up the dinner atmosphere.

But Rose Hill was a cold-blooded person by nature. He said very few words from beginning to end. He was more like a bystander watching the lively drama unfolding in front of him.

Anaxi turned her head from time to time and asked Rose Hill about his hobbies, trying to pry out from his mouth whether his favorite activity was hunting or playing ball.

Sierra, who couldn't say a word, could only straighten her back and silently complain in her heart about the damn dining etiquette. She couldn't choose what she liked and had to maintain a dignified posture, which was tiring.

Rose Hill was attracted by her voice again and turned to look at her.

Noticing this, Josie turned her face and asked gently: "Sela, what activities do you like? We can go out together when the weather is nice."

Activity? She didn't want to participate in any activities.

Serra put down her spoon, faced several pairs of eyes looking over to hear the answer, and whispered, "Church, I like to see churches."

"Oh, that's a good place to relax." Josie naturally shifted the topic to Rose Hill, "Where does Mr. Rose Hill want to go? You can just tell Annashe, and I guarantee you that she is interested in the town. Every building is understood.”

Sera twitched the corners of her mouth, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine silently.

She could stand on the moon and hear this plan to catch a rich husband.

"I also like to go to church." Rose Hill picked up the wine glass and gestured to Sera, who kept complaining in her heart, "Are you free on the weekend? Miss Sera."

Sera coughed violently after almost spitting out a mouthful of wine. She covered her mouth and looked at the handsome face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Uh, um, I'm free."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up on the weekend." He raised the corners of his lips and drank the wine in the glass.

Anaxi's expression could no longer maintain the smile she had at the beginning. She lowered her face, inserted a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed it hard.

Lizzie's inquiring eyes lingered between Sierra and Rose Hill for a while, and she quietly raised a new topic.

After the whole dinner, Anna Xi had almost no communication with the target next to her. The other party's eyes stayed on Sera who was eating silently for most of the time.

In the tea room after the meal, Anaxi and Sera were sitting on a couch. She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked, "Have you and the Duke ever communicated on the ship?"

"Had."

Sierra admitted generously, "But he doesn't like me, you can rest assured."

Anahid looked at her twice and said, "That's not what I meant."

"Well, that's what I mean. You two are a good match." Sierra stood up. When the rain stopped outside, she wanted to go out for some air.

From the crescent-shaped balcony after the rain, you can see the moon gradually emerging from the dark clouds.

A small patch of silver light illuminates a small forest in front, and the moat in the manor sparkles.

Sera breathed out a soft breath.

After standing there for only a few minutes, Rose Hill quietly stood beside her.

"Still want to work for me?"

She turned her head, just as the moon emerged from the clouds, and the silver glow made the man's face look even more unreal.

Sierra glanced at the room behind her, then turned to look at him, shaking her head, "I don't want to work for you, things will get very troublesome."

Rose Hill was silent, staring at her with a dark and strange look, "Really? You are afraid of trouble."

Sera's arms hidden in her sleeves had goosebumps, and she bit her lip, "You didn't agree to my subsequent request on the ship. You were hesitant before the ship sank."

Rose Hill was silent for a moment, "I agree."

Sierra still shook her head, "No, I'm not qualified for any job around you."

"I don't like your lies. Change this problem." Rose Hill turned around impatiently, pushing her shoulders against the guardrail, and her steel-like arms trapped her in her chest.

With such an ambiguous posture, he didn't care at all what would happen if he was seen by the three people sitting on the sofa sipping tea inside the glass door.

Sierra pressed his black vest with her fingers and said in panic: "I'm not lying, please let go."

Her heartfelt voice could be heard in his ears every time. It was full of her likes, but she pretended not to care.

Rose Hill pressed her, and inserted his cold fingers into her hair through his gloves, stroking all the way down her neck, "Sela, your abilities interest me very much."

"Work for me and you can get everything you want." The sweet smell constantly impacted Rose Hill's sense of smell. He lowered his eyes and focused his deep gaze on her cheek.

He could clearly see the fine lines on Sera's face, every subtle change in her emotions.

He wanted to suck her dry, give her his first embrace, and become one of his.

Such a strong desire made him swallow, and the rich darkness in his eyes made people shudder.
