Chapter 783
Justin was such a person. He was gentle to everyone. He could joke and talk about everything with others. However, he could also be cold and indifferent if one stepped into his forbidden lamella. In the end, they might not even be able to be his friends.
“Dr. Logan, your hands doing scientific research are so precious. It’s my honor that you cook for me,” said Justin.
Serena looked at him with a smile and sat down opposite him.
Looking at the time, she found it was already half past eleven. She looked at him expectantly. “It’s getting late. Hurry up and eat now that there’s nothing to do. Try the dishes made by my precious hands.”
Justin nodded. “Okay.”
Serena’s culinary skills were so-so, but the dishes looked good. She had placed the broccoli neatly.
“How is it? Is it delicious?” Serena was a little nervous.
Justin chewed slowly for a long time before commenting, “Not bad. It’s several levels higher than I imagined.”
Serena frowned and looked at him. “Are you praising me or belittling me?”
Justin said honestly, “How would I dare to belittle you? It’s already impressive that you can cook when you’re in the laboratory all day long.”
“Hmph, at the end of the day, you mean it’s still so-so.”
Justin smiled and shook his head. “You can only blame me for having only tasted Grace’s cooking before. It’s unforgettable.”
Serena’s smile froze.
Justin didn’t notice and continued to eat with his head lowered. Serena didn’t say anything else and just looked at him quietly.
As he ate, Justin suddenly slowed down, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he looked up at her. “Are you free tonight?”
“I haven’t returned to work yet. I want to rest for a while. What’s wrong?” Serena’s eyes lit up.
“Come back to the Vance family’s residence with me.”
“Huh?”
Justin explained, “My dad probably arranged another girl for me to
interact with. I’m not in the mood to
think about this now. If it’s

convenient for you, can you pretend to be my girlfriend and help me block it?” After saying that, he hurriedly added, “Just for tonight. If it’s not convenient for you, then forget it.”
Serena suddenly said, “Oh, sure. It’s convenient for me.”
She propped her chin on her hand and looked at him. “You can also ask me if you need it after this time.”
Justin smiled. After a while, he asked, “I’m afraid it will affect you finding a boyfriend.”
Serena was stunned and said, “No, it won’t.”
He had already finished his meal. He
closed the lunch box and said, “If
He
you have a boyfriend, tell me. I be sorry if it affects your marriage, Dr. Logan.”
Serena lowered her eyes and smiled, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.
Justin said, “I’ll wash the lunch box.”
“No need. I’ll do it myself.”
Justin said domineeringly, “How can that do? Wait for me here.”
Serena watched him leave and pursed her lips.
Justin returned after a while. Serena asked, “What time are you going back tonight?”
“I’ll get off work at five. We can go back after that.”
Serena nodded. “Then why don’t I walk around nearby and come over when you get off work?”
“Alright.”

At night, Justin drove Serena back to the Vance family’s residence.
Before getting out of the car, Justin looked at her and smiled. “Relax. Don’t let anyone see anything wrong.”
Serena gave a self-deprecating smile. “You’re the one who can’t let them see through you.”
After getting out of the car, Serena held his arm and asked softly, “What if the girl your father arranged for you is prettier and more elegant than me?”
